simNGS and simLibrary – Software for Simulating Next-Gen Sequencing Data

Jit — Tue, 28 Nov 2017 06:49:11 -0600

simNGS is software for simulating observations from Illumina sequencing machines using the statistical models behind the AYB base-calling software. By default, observations only incorporate noise due to sequencing and do not incorporate effects from more esoteric sources of noise that may be present in real data ("dust", bubbles, merged clusters, sequence-heterogeneous clusters, etc). Many of these additional sources may optionally applied.

simNGS takes fasta format sequences and a file describing the covariance of noise between bases and cycles observed in an actual run of the machine, randomly generates noisy intensities representing the signals for the sequence at each cycle and calculates likelihoods for all possible base calls.

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.

Genobuntu is a software package containing more than 70 software and packages oriented towards NGS. In its current version, Genobuntu supports pre assembly tools, genome assemblers as well as post assembly tools.

Commonly used biological software and example script files for different assembly pipelines have also been provided, where the example script files can be updated to suit one’s experimental needs. Genobuntu attempts to reduce the amount of time and energy needed to build software workstations and it can also act as a good teaching source for a class room setting.

Therefore, Genobuntu offers a well-tailored environment for both novices and experts working in the field of genome assembly.

New born babies get ready to know their whole genome soon!!!

Rahul Agarwal — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 07:24:02 -0500

USA launch a pilot projects to examine medical information of newborn baby, which are being funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), both parts of the National Institutes of Health.

Awards of $5 million to four grantees have been made in fiscal year 2013 under the Genomic Sequencing and Newborn Screening Disorders research program. The program will be funded at $25 million over five years, as funds are made available.

"Hundreds of US babies will be pioneers in genomic medicine through a US$25-million programme to sequence their genomes soon after they are born."

AIRVF: a filtering toolbox for precise variant calling in Ion Torrent sequencing

BioStar — Fri, 22 Dec 2017 00:31:06 -0600

AIRVF that works on flowgram, raw and mapped reads and called variants to reduce artifact-driven false variant calls. Tests on sequencing data of standard reference material showed up to ∼98% reduction of false variants when combined to conventional public pipelines and ∼48% to the in-house commercial solution, with a minimal loss of sensitivity

The program with a detailed manual is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/airvf/
