	<title><![CDATA[SEX-DETector: A Probabilistic Approach to Study Sex Chromosomes in Non-Model Organisms]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>SEX-DETector is a probabilistic method that relies on RNAseq data from a cross (parents and progeny of each sex) to infer autosomal and sex-linked genes (genes located on the non recombining part of sex chromosomes).</p>
<h3>How does SEX-DETector work?</h3>
<p>SEX-DETector does not require prior sequencing of a reference genome: the same sequencing data can be used for the assembly and for the mapping of the reads. A full documentation on the pipeline can be found&nbsp;<a href="https://lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr/IMG/pdf/sex-detector_user_manual.pdf?1294/78de9ae01fbe949e85db7b4392a7854efeba225d">here</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>we recommend&nbsp;<a href="http://github.com/trinityrnaseq/trinityrnaseq/wiki">Trinity</a>&nbsp;for the assembly.</li>
<li>Trinity components should be merged with&nbsp;<a href="http://seq.cs.iastate.edu/cap3.html">cap3</a>. Our code to perform the merging is available&nbsp;<a href="http://lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr/IMG/zip/cap3_on_trinity_output-2.zip?1517/9ee57874639c69f96319b15e301705489ffce5ce">here</a>.</li>
<li>We recommend&nbsp;<a href="http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/">BWA</a>&nbsp;for mapping of the reads.</li>
<li>When the mapping has been perfomed, the individuals need to be genotyped; SEX-DETector takes files produced by Reads2snp (which is available for download on the&nbsp;<a href="http://kimura.univ-montp2.fr/PopPhyl/index.php?section=tools">PopPhyl website</a>) as input.</li>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Omega found overlaps between reads using a prefix/suffix hash table. The overlap graph of reads was simplified by removing transitive edges and trimming short branches. Unitigs were generated based on minimum cost flow analysis of the overlap graph and then merged to contigs and scaffolds using mate-pair information. In comparison with three de Bruijn graph assemblers (SOAPdenovo, IDBA-UD and MetaVelvet), Omega provided comparable overall performance on a HiSeq 100-bp dataset and superior performance on a MiSeq 300-bp dataset. In comparison with Celera on the MiSeq dataset, Omega provided more continuous assemblies overall using a fraction of the computing time of existing overlap-layout-consensus assemblers. This indicates Omega can more efficiently assemble longer Illumina reads, and at deeper coverage, for metagenomic datasets.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://omega.omicsbio.org/" rel="nofollow">http://omega.omicsbio.org/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[miniasm: very fast OLC-based de novo assembler for noisy long reads]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Miniasm is a very fast OLC-based&nbsp;<em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembler for noisy long reads. It takes all-vs-all read self-mappings (typically by&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap">minimap</a>) as input and outputs an assembly graph in the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/pmelsted/GFA-spec/blob/master/GFA-spec.md">GFA</a>&nbsp;format. Different from mainstream assemblers, miniasm does not have a consensus step. It simply concatenates pieces of read sequences to generate the final&nbsp;<a href="http://wgs-assembler.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Celera_Assembler_Terminology">unitig</a>&nbsp;sequences. Thus the per-base error rate is similar to the raw input reads.</p>
<p>So far miniasm is in early development stage. It has only been tested on a dozen of PacBio and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) bacterial data sets. Including the mapping step, it takes about 3 minutes to assemble a bacterial genome. Under the default setting, miniasm assembles 9 out of 12 PacBio datasets and 3 out of 4 ONT datasets into a single contig. The 12 PacBio data sets are&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/E.-coli-Bacterial-Assembly">PacBio E. coli sample</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS473430">ERS473430</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS544009">ERS544009</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS554120">ERS554120</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS605484">ERS605484</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS617393">ERS617393</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS646601">ERS646601</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS659581">ERS659581</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS670327">ERS670327</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS685285">ERS685285</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS743109">ERS743109</a>&nbsp;and a&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/E.-coli-20kb-Size-Selected-Library-with-P6-C4/ce0533c1d2a957488594f0b29da61ffa3e4627e8">deprecated PacBio E. coli data set</a>. ONT data are acquired from the&nbsp;<a href="http://lab.loman.net/2015/09/24/first-sqk-map-006-experiment/">Loman Lab</a>.</p>
<p>For a&nbsp;<em>C. elegans</em>&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/C.-elegans-data-set">PacBio data set</a>&nbsp;(only 40X are used, not the whole dataset), miniasm finishes the assembly, including reads overlapping, in ~10 minutes with 16 CPUs. The total assembly size is 105Mb; the N50 is 1.94Mb. In comparison, the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/Bioinformatics-Training/wiki/HGAP">HGAP3</a>produces a 104Mb assembly with N50 1.61Mb.&nbsp;<a href="http://lh3lh3.users.sourceforge.net/download/ce-miniasm.png">This dotter plot</a>&nbsp;gives a global view of the miniasm assembly (on the X axis) and the HGAP3 assembly (on Y). They are broadly comparable. Of course, the HGAP3 consensus sequences are much more accurate. In addition, on the whole data set (assembled in ~30 min), the miniasm N50 is reduced to 1.79Mb. Miniasm still needs improvements.</p>
<p>Miniasm confirms that at least for high-coverage bacterial genomes, it is possible to generate long contigs from raw PacBio or ONT reads without error correction. It also shows that&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap">minimap</a>&nbsp;can be used as a read overlapper, even though it is probably not as sensitive as the more sophisticated overlapers such as&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/marbl/MHAP">MHAP</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/thegenemyers/DALIGNER">DALIGNER</a>. Coupled with long-read error correctors and consensus tools, miniasm may also be useful to produce high-quality assemblies.</p>
<p>Minimap and miniasm are ultrafast tools for (i) mapping and (ii) assembly. Designed for long, noisy reads, they do not have a correction or consensus step, and therefore the resulting assemblies are contiguous (i.e. long) but very noisy (i.e. full of errors)</p>
<p>We start with an all against all comparison:</p>
<div>
<pre><code>minimap -Sw5 -L100 -m0 -t8 reads.fq reads.fq | gzip -1 &gt; reads.paf.gz
