GRIDSS: the Genomic Rearrangement IDentification Software Suite

Rahul Nayak — Sun, 17 May 2020 10:27:44 -0500

GRIDSS is a module software suite containing tools useful for the detection of genomic rearrangements. GRIDSS includes a genome-wide break-end assembler, as well as a structural variation caller for Illumina sequencing data. GRIDSS calls variants based on alignment-guided positional de Bruijn graph genome-wide break-end assembly, split read, and read pair evidence.

Tree illustrating the lack of interchromosomal rearrangement of the microchromosomes.

BioJoker — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 04:20:33 -0600

Tree illustrating the lack of interchromosomal rearrangement of the microchromosomes. No interchromosomal microchromosome fusions from the avian ancestor unless otherwise stated (macrochromosomal fusions not listed). The overall pattern of microchromosome stability and rearrangement across the species is illustrated

Mercator: Multiple Whole-Genome Orthology Map Construction

Jit — Tue, 19 May 2020 16:46:22 -0500

Whole-genome homology maps attempt to identify the evolutionary relationships between and within multiple genomes. The term "syntenic" is often used to describe regions of multiple genomes that are believed to have evolved from the same region in an ancestral genome. However, it has been pointed out that this use of the term is incorrect (Passarge et al. 1999) and thus we will use the terms "homologous", "orthologous", and "paralogous" instead. Ideally, given K genomes, we would like to identify all orthologous genomic regions as well as paralogous regions within each genome and hypothetical ancestral genome. Maps listing these relationships are extremely valuable to researchers performing comparative analyses of genomic sequence. Here we present our initial work in the form a program called Mercator that constructs orthology maps between multiple whole genomes.

Apollo: a sequence annotation editor

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 08:08:47 -0500

The well-established inaccuracy of purely computational methods for annotating genome sequences necessitates an interactive tool to allow biological experts to refine these approximations by viewing and independently evaluating the data supporting each annotation. Apollo was developed to meet this need, enabling curators to inspect genome annotations closely and edit them
