	<title><![CDATA[PyParanoid: a pipeline for rapid identification of homologous gene families in a set of genomes]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>PyParanoid is a pipeline for rapid identification of homologous gene families in a set of genomes - a central task of any comparative genomics analysis. The "gold standard" for identifying homologs is to use reciprocal best hits (RBHs) which depends on performing a all-vs-all sequence comparison, usually using BLAST, to determine homology. However, these methods are computationally expensive, requiring&nbsp;O(n2)&nbsp;resources to identify RBHs. This is problematic, as the modern deluge of sequencing data means that comparative genomics analyses could be performed on datasets of thousands of strains.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/ryanmelnyk/PyParanoid" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ryanmelnyk/PyParanoid</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Genomicus is a genome browser that enables users to navigate in genomes in several dimensions: linearly along chromosome axes, transversaly across different species, and chronologicaly along evolutionary time.</p>
<p>Once a query gene has been entered, it is displayed in its genomic context in parallel to the genomic context of all its orthologous and paralogous copies in all the other sequenced metazoan genomes. Moreover, Genomicus stores and displays the predicted ancestral genome structure in all the ancestral species within the phylogenetic range of interest.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Bactopia: a flexible pipeline for complete analysis of bacterial genomes]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Bactopia is a flexible pipeline for complete analysis of bacterial genomes. The goal of Bactopia is process your data with a broad set of tools, so that you can get to the fun part of analyses quicker!</p>
<p>Bactopia was inspired by&nbsp;<a href="https://staphopia.github.io/">Staphopia</a>, a workflow we (Tim Read and myself) released that is targeted towards&nbsp;<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>&nbsp;genomes. Using what we learned from Staphopia and user feedback, Bactopia was developed from scratch with usability, portability, and speed in mind from the start.</p>
<p>Bactopia uses&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nextflow.io/">Nextflow</a>&nbsp;to manage the workflow, allowing for support of many types of environments (e.g. cluster or cloud). Bactopia allows for the usage of many public datasets as well as your own datasets to further enhance the analysis of your sequencing. Bactopia only uses software packages available from&nbsp;<a href="https://bioconda.github.io/">Bioconda</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://conda-forge.org/">Conda-Forge</a>&nbsp;to make installation as simple as possible for&nbsp;<em>all</em>&nbsp;users.</p>
<p>To highlight the use of&nbsp;<a href="https://bactopia.github.io/latest/full-guide/">Bactopia</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://bactopia.github.io/latest/bactopia-tools/">Bactopia Tools</a>, we performed an analysis of 1,664 public&nbsp;<em>Lactobacillus</em>&nbsp;genomes, focusing on&nbsp;<em>Lactobacillus crispatus</em>, a species that is a common part of the human vaginal microbiome. The results from this analysis are published in mSystems under the title:&nbsp;<em><a href="https://doi.org/10.1128/mSystems.00190-20">Bactopia: a flexible pipeline for complete analysis of bacterial genomes</a></em></p>

	<title><![CDATA[ProteoClade: A taxonomic toolkit for multi-species and metaproteomic analysis]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>ProteoClade is a Python library for&nbsp;<span>taxonomic-based annotation and quantification of bottom-up proteomics data</span>. It is designed to be user-friendly, and has been optimized for speed and storage requirements.</p>
<p>ProteoClade helps you analyze two general categories of experiments:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><span><em>Targeted Database</em>&nbsp;Searches:</span>&nbsp;Experiments in which a limited number of species are defined ahead of time, such as those involving Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDXs) or host-pathogen interactions. Reference protein sequence databases are used for targeted searches (ex: using Mascot, MaxQuant).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span><em>De Novo</em>&nbsp;Searches:</span>&nbsp;Experiments in which the organisms are unspecified ahead of time or involve samples of high taxonomic complexity. Mass spectra are analyzed in the absence of a reference database (ex: using PEAKS, PepNovo).</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>ProteoClade scales from two organisms to every organism in UniProt. Please&nbsp;<a href="https://proteoclade.readthedocs.io/">refer to the complete documentation at proteoclade.readthedocs.io</a>&nbsp;for installation, a user's guide, and examples.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Scalpel]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>A team from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has released an algorithm, called Scalpel, for finding insertions and deletions in next generation sequencing data sets. Scalpel, which is open source and <a href="http://scalpel.sourceforge.net/" title="available for download">available for download</a> on SourceForge,&nbsp;<span>outperformed the popular tools GATK HaplotypeCaller and SOAPindel in test runs on both simulated and real whole human exomes.</span></p><p>Like other indel callers, Scalpel works by performing <em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembly of regions of interest, so that misalignment to the reference genome cannot obscure the presence of an insertion or deletion. Scalpel's innovation is to repeatedly check its assembly before comparing to the reference genome, to account for simple sequence repeats that are a regular source of error in indel calling. When Scalpel assembles an exon, it collects reads that map to that exon (including partial matches), splits them into k-mers, and creates a de Bruijn graph to span the exon; however, if it detects repeats in the map, it iteratively increases the size of the k-mers by one base until the repeats are eliminated. This ensures that the final assembly of the exon is highly accurate while minimizing compute time.</p><p>The Cold Spring Harbor team's validation of Scalpel, <a href="http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmeth.3069.html" title="published over the weekend in Nature Methods">published over the weekend in <em>Nature Methods</em></a>, compares Scalpel's performance on a live whole exome against HaplotypeCaller and SOAPindel. The donor is an individual with serious neurological disorders, which may be linked to a high incidence of indels. One thousand indels from this individual's exome, called by one or more of the informatics pipelines, were selected for focused resequencing. This resequencing revealed a 77% true positive rate for Scalpel calls, dramatically better than the rates for either of the competing tools; Scalpel performed especially well with indels longer than five base pairs, a traditional weak point for indel callers.</p><p>Finally, the authors demonstrate Scalpel's use on a large set of genetic data from nearly 600 families who donated samples to the Simons Simplex Collection, a project of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative. Scalpel found a very high enrichment for indels in children affected by autism, compared with their unaffected siblings, a pattern that persisted even after excluding common variants.</p>]]></description>
