MetaEuk - sensitive, high-throughput gene discovery and annotation for large-scale eukaryotic metagenomics

Jit — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 19:29:32 -0600

MetaEuk is a modular toolkit designed for large-scale gene discovery and annotation in eukaryotic metagenomic contigs. Metaeuk combines the fast and sensitive homology search capabilities of MMseqs2 with a dynamic programming procedure to recover optimal exons sets. It reduces redundancies in multiple discoveries of the same gene and resolves conflicting gene predictions on the same strand. MetaEuk is GPL-licensed open source software that is implemented in C++ and available for Linux and macOS. The software is designed to run on multiple cores.

bpRNA: large-scale automated annotation and analysis of RNA secondary structure

Rahul Nayak — Wed, 23 May 2018 03:24:33 -0500

bpRNA, a novel annotation tool capable of parsing RNA structures, including complex pseudoknot-containing RNAs, to yield an objective, precise, compact, unambiguous, easily-interpretable description of all loops, stems, and pseudoknots, along with the positions, sequence, and flanking base pairs of each such structural feature.

The bpRNA code is written in perl and requires the Graph perl module. Several additional scripts for analysis are included. The source code is available at http://github.com/hendrixlab/bpRNA.

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 Remap

Jit — Thu, 11 Feb 2016 11:02:26 -0600

NCBI Remap. This tool is conceptually similar to liftOver in that in manages conversions between a pair of genome assemblies but it uses different methods to achieve these mappings. It is also available through a simple web interface or you can use the API for NCBI Remap.

Bacterial genome assembly !!

Jit — Fri, 05 May 2017 06:11:22 -0500

This tutorial will serve as an example of how to use free and open-source genome assembly and secondary scaffolding tools to generate high quality assemblies of bacterial sequence data. The bacterial sample used in this tutorial will be referred to simply as “Species” since it is live data. This data is paired-end data, meaning that there are forward and reverse reads, which we will designate as Sample_R1.fastq and Sample_R2.fastq, respectively.

Genome Annotation using MAKER tutorial !

Shruti Paniwala — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:39:23 -0600

MAKER is a great tool for annotating a reference genome using empirical and ab initiogene predictions. GMOD, the umbrella organization that includes MAKER, has some nice tutorials online for running MAKER. However, these were quite simplified examples and it took a bit of effort to wrap my head completely around everything. Here I will describe a de novo genome annotation for Boa constrictor in detail, so that there is a record and that it is easy to use this as a guide to annotate any genome.

ChopStitch: exon annotation and splice graph construction using transcriptome assembly and whole genome sequencing data

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 03 Jul 2018 04:14:52 -0500

ChopStitch is a new method for finding putative exons and constructing splice graphs using an assembled transcriptome and whole genome shotgun sequencing (WGSS) data. ChopStitch identifies exon-exon boundaries in de novo assembled RNA-seq data with the help of a Bloom filter that represents the k-mer spectrum of WGSS reads. The algorithm also detects base substitutions in transcript sequences corresponding to sequencing or assembly errors, haplotype variations, or putative RNA editing events. The primary output of our tool is a FASTA file containing putative exons. Further, exon edges are interrogated for alternative exon-exon boundaries to detect transcript isoforms, which are reported as splice graphs in dot output format.
