ContigExtender: a new approach to improving de novo sequence assembly for viral metagenomics data

LEGE — Wed, 08 May 2024 07:32:45 -0500

ContigExtender, was developed to extend contigs, complementing de novo assembly. ContigExtender employs a novel recursive Overlap Layout Candidates (r-OLC) strategy that explores multiple extending paths to achieve longer and highly accurate contigs. ContigExtender is effective for extending contigs significantly in in silico synthesized and real metagenomics datasets.

Workshop on population and metagenomics analysis @ NERC

Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:25:45 -0600

Workshop Overview

A ten-day workshop taking place between 25 February - 6 March 2014 providing detailed hands-on training for population and meta-genomics analysis for researchers with little or no background in mathematics or computing.

Venue: Dartington Hall, Totnes, Devon (nearest train station - Totnes)

Times: 25 February - 6th March 2014.

Arrival evening of Tuesday 25 February 2014. Departure morning of 6th March 2014. The course itself will take place 9am-12pm, 2pm-5pm and on some evenings 7pm-10pm everyday 26 February-5th March. Students are expected to attend the entire course.

Contact: research-events@exeter.ac.uk

Registration

The course itself is free of charged and is funded by a Professional Postgraduate Development Award from NERC.

A total of 30 funded places are available which cover the costs of accommodation and food, but not the cost of transportation to/from the venue.

An additional 10 places are available for participants from industry. The cost of accommodation and meals will need to be covered by the participants.

You should register your interest by 31 December 2013. Participants will be informed by 10th January 2014 as to whether they have been selected. Please note that preference will be given to researchers funded by NERC.

MetaSim A Sequencing Simulator for Genomics and Metagenomics.

Jit — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 07:18:20 -0600

Our software can be used to generate collections of synthetic reads that reflect the diverse taxonomical composition of typical metagenome data sets. Based on a database of given genomes, the program allows the user to design a metagenome by specifying the number of genomes present at different levels of the NCBI taxonomy, and then to collect reads from the metagenome using a simulation of a number of different sequencing technologies. A population sampler optionally produces evolved sequences based on source genomes and a given evolutionary tree.

MAKER

Jitendra Narayan — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 15:59:24 -0600

MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline.Its purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome projects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based quality values.

NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline

Jit — Tue, 16 May 2017 08:56:03 -0500

NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline is designed to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes (chromosomes and plasmids).

Genome annotation is a multi-level process that includes prediction of protein-coding genes, as well as other functional genome units such as structural RNAs, tRNAs, small RNAs, pseudogenes, control regions, direct and inverted repeats, insertion sequences, transposons and other mobile elements.

NCBI has developed an automatic prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline that combines ab initio gene prediction algorithms with homology based methods. The first version of NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Automatic Annotation Pipeline (PGAAP; see Pubmed Article) developed in 2005 has been replaced with an upgraded version that is capable of processing a larger data volume. You can find a more detailed description of the new version of the pipeline in NCBI Handbook chapter. NCBI's annotation pipeline depends on several internal databases and is not currently available for download or use outside of the NCBI environment.

funannotate: Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline

Jit — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 07:47:22 -0500

Funannotate is a genome prediction, annotation, and comparison software package. It was originally written to annotate fungal genomes (small eukaryotes ~ 30 Mb genomes), but has evolved over time to accomodate larger genomes. The impetus for this software package was to be able to accurately and easily annotate a genome for submission to NCBI GenBank. Existing tools (such as Maker) require significant manually editing to comply with GenBank submission rules, thus funannotate is aimed at simplifying the genome submission process.

Basic Structure of Snakemake Pipeline Run !

Abhi — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 07:01:38 -0500

/user/snakemake-demo$ ls

config.json data envs scripts slurm-240702.out Snakefile

data = mock data for the snakefile to use
Snakefile = name of the snakemake “formula” file
- Note: The default file that snakemake looks for in the current working directory is the Snakefile. If you would like to override that you can specify it following the -s
  - snakemake -s snakefile.py
envs = directory for storing the conda environments that the workflow will use.
scripts = directory for storing python scripts called by the snakemake formula.
config.json = json format file with extra parameters for our snakemake file to use.
cluster.json = json format file with specification for running on the HPC
samples.txt = file we will use later relating to the config.json file.

Run the snakemake file as a dry run (the example workflow shown above).

This will build a DAG of the jobs to be run without actually executing them.
snakemake --dry-run

User can execute rules of interest.

snakemake --dry-run all VS. snakemake --dry-run call VS. snakemake --dry-run bwa

Run the snakemake file in order to produce an image of the DAG of jobs to be run.

snakemake --dag | dot -Tsvg > dag.svg OR snakemake --dag | dot -Tsvg > dag.svg

Run the snakemake (this time not as a dry run)

snakemake --use-conda

YAMP: Yet Another Metagenomic Pipeline

BioStar — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 04:26:00 -0500

YAMP is constructed on Nextflow, a framework based on the dataflow programming model, which allows writing workflows that are highly parallel, easily portable (including on distributed systems), and very flexible and customisable, characteristics which have been inherited by YAMP. New modules can be added easily and the existing ones can be customised -- even though we have already provided default parameters deriving from our own experience.
