methylKit

Jit — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 10:09:29 -0500

methylKit is an R package for DNA methylation analysis and annotation from high-throughput bisulfite sequencing. The package is designed to deal with sequencing data from RRBS and its variants, but also target-capture methods such as Agilent SureSelect methyl-seq. In addition, methylKit can deal with base-pair resolution data for 5hmC obtained from Tab-seq or oxBS-seq. It can also handle whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data if proper input format is provided.

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.

Bienko and Crosetto Labs

Fri, 12 May 2017 07:42:15 -0500

We are two groups of scientists doing frontier research in quantitative biology and biomedicine. The Bienko group is interested in exploring the fundamental design principles controlling how DNA is packed in the eukaryotic nucleus and its relation to gene expression regulation. The Crosetto group engineers new molecular methods for single-cell and spatially resolved omic measurements of DNA, RNA, and proteins, with a strong focus on tumor heterogeneity. By sharing ideas and resources, we work synergistically towards a more quantitative understanding of life’s processes in healthy and diseased conditions.

ACANA: An accurate and consistent alignment tool for DNA sequences

Jit — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 09:45:29 -0600

ACANA is an accurate and consistent alignment tool for DNA sequences. ACANA is specifically designed for aligning sequences that share only some moderately conserved regions and/or have a high frequency of long insertions or deletions. It attempts to combine the best of local and global alignments algorithms in searching for evolutionarily related regions of sequences in order to achieve the best alignment. ACANA is also robust to the small changes of alignment parameters, particularly the gap extension score. As an accurate alignment tool, ACANA is particularly useful in comparative sequence analysis for identifying conserved functional regulatory elements.

3d-dna: 3D de novo assembly (3D DNA) pipeline

Jit — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 10:09:37 -0600

This code is designed to enable anyone to reproduce the Hs2-HiC and the AaegL4 genomes reported in: Dudchenko et al., De novo assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome using Hi-C yields chromosome-length scaffolds. Science, 2017.

Unless otherwise noted, all terminology below is consistent with this paper, and all references to figures and tables in this readme refer to this paper. Specifically, some of the terminology used below is outlined in Figure S2. The assembly procedure is described in detail in the Supporting Online Materials, specifically in the section labelled “Pipeline description”.

In addition, the pipeline uses tools and methods from Juicer (Durand & Shamim et al., Cell Systems, 2016) and Juicebox (Durand & Robinson et al., Cell Systems, 2016), as well as additional dependencies noted below.

Gblocks: eliminates poorly aligned positions and divergent regions of a DNA or protein alignment

Poonam Mahapatra — Sat, 02 Jun 2018 07:36:05 -0500

Gblocks eliminates poorly aligned positions and divergent regions of a DNA or protein alignment so that it becomes more suitable for phylogenetic analysis. This server implements the most important features of the Gblocks program to make its use as simple as possible without loosing the functionality that it is necessary in most of the cases. Other options can be changed in the stand-alone program. You can see here an example output file showing the blocks selected from a protein alignment. Further information can be found in the online documentation.

FGENESH - Program for predicting multiple genes in genomic DNA sequences

BioStar — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 11:55:08 -0600

FGENESH is the fastest (50-100 times faster than GenScan) and most accurate gene finder available - see the figure and the table below. In recent rice genome sequencing projects, it was cited "the most successful (gene finding) program (Yu et al. (2002) Science 296:79) and was used to produce 87% of all high-evidence predicted genes (Goff et al. (2002) Science 296:79).

ExRec: Exclusion of Recombined DNA

LEGE — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 20:48:26 -0500

ExRec (Exclusion of Recombined DNA) is a Python pipeline that implements the four-gamete test to filter out recombined DNA sites from up to thousands of DNA sequence loci. The pipeline consists of five standalone applications: the first two convert folders of NEXUS or PHYLIP files into the standard input file for the main program that conducts the four-gamete filtering procedures. The pipeline outputs recombination-filtered data in concatenated NEXUS and PHYLIP formats and a tab-delimited table containing descriptive statistics for all loci and the results. This software also allows the user to output the longest non-recombined sequence blocks from loci (current best practice) or randomly select non-recombined blocks from loci (a newer approach). Two other applications in the package convert the recombination-filtered data into single-locus NEXUS or PHYLIP files. The ExRec package can thus facilitate species delimitation, species tree, and historical demography studies by providing loci that better meet the no-recombination assumption in coalescent-based analyses.
