DnaSP v5: a software for comprehensive analysis of DNA polymorphism data

Jit — Mon, 06 Feb 2017 04:45:37 -0600

DnaSP is a software package for a comprehensive analysis of DNA polymorphism data. Version 5 implements a number of new features and analytical methods allowing extensive DNA polymorphism analyses on large datasets. Among other features, the newly implemented methods allow for: (i) analyses on multiple data files; (ii) haplotype phasing; (iii) analyses on insertion/deletion polymorphism data; (iv) visualizing sliding window results integrated with available genome annotations in the UCSC browser.

bedtools

Jit — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 04:50:44 -0600

Collectively, the bedtools utilities are a swiss-army knife of tools for a wide-range of genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used tools enable genome arithmetic: that is, set theory on the genome. For example, bedtools allows one tointersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line.

bedtools is developed in the Quinlan laboratory at the University of Utah and benefits from fantastic contributions made by scientists worldwide.

splitbam: splits a BAM by chromosomes

Jit — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:01:28 -0600

splitbam splits a BAM by chromosomes.

Using the reference sequence dictionary (*.dict), it also creates some empty BAM files if no sam record was found for a chromosome. A pair of 'mock' SAM-Records can also be added to those empty BAMs to avoid some tools (like samtools) to crash.

Usage

java -jar splitbam.jar -p OUT/__CHROM__/__CHROM__.bam -R ref.fasta (bam|sam|stdin)

Options

-h help; This screen.
-R (indexed reference file) REQUIRED.
-u (unmapped chromosome name): default:Unmapped
-e | --empty : generate EMPTY bams for chromosome having no read mapped
-m | --mock : if option '-e', add a mock pair of sam records to the empty bam
-p (output file/bam pattern) REQUIRED. MUST contain __CHROM__ and end with .bam
-s assume input is sorted.
-x | --index create index.
-t | --tmp (dir) tmp file directory
-G (file) chrom-group file (see below)

Prokka: tool for the rapid annotation of prokaryotic genomes

Jit — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 03:49:57 -0600

Prokka is a software tool for the rapid annotation of prokaryotic genomes. A typical 4 Mbp genome can be fully annotated in less than 10 minutes on a quad-core computer, and scales well to 32 core SMP systems. It produces GFF3, GBK and SQN files that are ready for editing in Sequin and ultimately submitted to Genbank/DDJB/ENA.

COCACOLA (binning metagenomic contigs using sequence COmposition, read CoverAge, CO-alignment, and paired-end read LinkAge)

Jit — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 08:50:57 -0600

COCACOLA is a general framework that combines different types of information: sequence COmposition, CoverAge across multiple samples, CO-alignment to reference genomes and paired-end reads LinkAge to automatically bin contigs into OTUs. Furthermore, COCACOLA seamlessly embraces customized prior knowledge to facilitate binning accuracy.

News: Python version of COCACOLA is available now!

Download assemblies from NCBI

Bulbul — Mon, 15 May 2017 06:02:32 -0500

A new “Download assemblies” button is now available in the Assembly database. This makes it easy to download data for multiple genomes without having to write scripts.

For example, you can run a search in Assembly and use check boxes (see left side of screenshot below) to refine the set of genome assemblies of interest. Then, just open the “Download assemblies” menu, choose the source database (GenBank or RefSeq), choose the file type, and start the download. An archive file will be saved to your computer that can be expanded into a folder containing your selected genome data files.

CAMSA :: a tool for Comparative Analysis and Merging of Scaffold Assemblies

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 09:10:26 -0600

CAMSA – is a tool for Comparative Analysis and Merging of Scaffold Assemblies, distributed both as a standalone software package and as Python library under the MIT license.

Main features:

works with any number of scaffold assemblies in de-novo non-progressive fashion
allows to simultaneously work with scaffold assemblies obtained from any in silico and in vitro techniques, supporting multiple existing formats via built-in converters
creates an extensive report with several comparative quality metrics (both on assembly level and on the level of individual assembly points)
constructs a merged combined scaffold assembly
provides an interactive framework for a visual comparative analysis of the given assemblies

LRSDAY: Long-read Sequencing Data Analysis for Yeasts

Poonam Mahapatra — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 18:07:33 -0500

Long-read sequencing technologies have become increasingly popular in genome projects due to their strengths in resolving complex genomic regions. As a leading model organism with small genome size and great biotechnological importance, the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has many isolates currently being sequenced with long reads.
