Benchmarking a new metagenomic pipeline often begins with a fundamental challenge. Imagine a bioinformatician preparing to benchmark a new metagenomic pipeline. There is no shortage of real sequencing data, but one problem quickly appears: the exact...

Reformat is a member of the BBMap/BBTools package. It is a multipurpose tool designed for converting reads or other nucleotide data between different formats. It supports, and can inter-convert: fastq fasta fasta+qual sam scarf (an old Illumina...

darlinglab.org - Mauve is a system for constructing multiple genome alignments in the presence of large-scale evolutionary events such as rearrangement and inversion. Multiple genome alignments provide a basis for research into comparative genomics and the study of...

journal.frontiersin.org - We have developed gbtools, a software package that allows users to visualize metagenomic assemblies by plotting coverage (sequencing depth) and GC values of contigs, and also to annotate the plots with taxonomic information. Different sets of...

BBSplit internally uses BBMap to map reads to multiple genomes at once, and determine which genome they match best. This is different than with ordinary mapping. If a genome (say, human) contains an exact repeat somewhere, reads mapping to it will...
