Tallymer: method to compute K-mer frequencies and its application to annotate large repetitive plant genomes

Jit — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 10:21:02 -0600

Tallymer is based on enhanced suffix arrays. This gives a much larger flexibility concerning the choice of the k-mer size. Tallymer can process large data sizes of several billion bases. We used it in a variety of applications to study the genomes of maize and other plant species. In particular, Tallymer was used to index a set whole genome shotgun sequences from maize (B73) (total size 10⁹ bp).
Tallymer was effective in a variety of applications to aid genome annotation in maize, despite limitations imposed by the relatively low coverage of sequence available.

A manual can be found here.

Ranbow: a haplotype assembler for polyploid genomes

Jit — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 07:21:54 -0500

Ranbow is a haplotype assembler for polyploid genomes. It has been developed for the haplotype assembly of the hexaploid sweet potato genome, which is highly heterozygous. Ranbow can also be applied to other polyploid genomes. After a first phasing, Ranbow utilizes the assembled haplotypes to improve the accuracy of variant calling results and to infer the evolutionary history of the organism´s genome. Ranbow has three main modes of function: ranbow hap: for haplotyping ranbow eval: for evaluating of the assemble haplotypes by gold standard (long) reads ranbow phylo: for the phylogenetic analysis

CSBFinder: Discovery of colinear syntenic blocks across thousands of prokaryotic genomes

Jit — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 22:12:27 -0500

CSBFinder is a standalone Desktop java application with a graphical user interface, that can also be executed via command line.

CSBFinder implements a novel methodology for the discovery, ranking, and taxonomic distribution analysis of colinear syntenic blocks (CSBs) - groups of genes that are consistently located close to each other, in the same order, across a wide range of taxa. CSBFinder incorporates an efficient algorithm that identifies CSBs in large genomic datasets. The discovered CSBs are ranked according to a probabilistic score and clustered to families according to their gene content similarity.

Chromonomer: a tool set for repairing and enhancing assembled genomes through integration of genetic maps and conserved synteny

Jit — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 05:38:46 -0600

Chromonomer is a program designed to integrate a genome assembly with a genetic map. Chromonomer tries very hard to identify and remove markers that are out of order in the genetic map, when considered against their local assembly order; and to identify scaffolds that have been incorrectly assembled according to the genetic map, and split those scaffolds.

NGenomeSyn: an easy-to-use and flexible tool for publication-ready visualization of syntenic relationships across multiple genomes

NGenomeSyn [multiple (N) Genome Synteny], for publication-ready visualization of syntenic relationships of the whole genome or local region and genomic features (e.g. repeats, structural variations, genes) across multiple genomes with a high customization. NGenomeSyn provides an easy way for its users to visualize a large amount of data with a rich layout by simply adjusting options for moving, scaling, and rotation of target genomes. Moreover, NGenomeSyn could be applied on the visualization of relationships on non-genomic data with similar input formats.

Mercator: Multiple Whole-Genome Orthology Map Construction

Jit — Tue, 19 May 2020 16:46:22 -0500

Whole-genome homology maps attempt to identify the evolutionary relationships between and within multiple genomes. The term "syntenic" is often used to describe regions of multiple genomes that are believed to have evolved from the same region in an ancestral genome. However, it has been pointed out that this use of the term is incorrect (Passarge et al. 1999) and thus we will use the terms "homologous", "orthologous", and "paralogous" instead. Ideally, given K genomes, we would like to identify all orthologous genomic regions as well as paralogous regions within each genome and hypothetical ancestral genome. Maps listing these relationships are extremely valuable to researchers performing comparative analyses of genomic sequence. Here we present our initial work in the form a program called Mercator that constructs orthology maps between multiple whole genomes.
