github.com - Alvis, a simple command line tool that can generate visualisations for a number of common alignment analysis tasks. Alvis is a fast and portable tool that accepts input in a variety of alignment formats and will output production ready vector...

github.com - Helitron-like elements (HLE1 and HLE2) are DNA transposons. They have been found in diverse species and seem to play significant roles in the evolution of host genomes. Although known for over twenty years, Helitron sequences are still challenging...

RAST – Web tool (upload contigs), uses the subsystems in the SEED database and provides detailed annotation and pathway analysis. Takes several hours per genome but I think this is the best way to get a high quality annotation...

github.com - Gepard (German: "cheetah", Backronym for "GEnome PAir - Rapid Dotter") allows the calculation of dotplots even for large sequences like chromosomes or bacterial genomes. Reference: Krumsiek J, Arnold R, Rattei T. Gepard: A rapid and sensitive tool...

novelseq.sourceforge.net - The NovelSeq framework is designed to detect novel sequence insertions using high throughput paired-end whole genome sequencing data. http://novelseq.sourceforge.net/Home Paper at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20385726

github.com - GraphMap - A highly sensitive and accurate mapper for long, error-prone reads http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2016/160415/ncomms11307/full/ncomms11307.htmlFeatures    Mapping position agnostic to alignment parameters.   ...

github.com - MashMap is a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s). It maps a query sequence against a reference region if and only if its estimated alignment identity is above a specified threshold. It...

github.com - ALPACA requires Celera Assembler 8.3 or later. It is recommended to build Celera Assembler from source. (Why? The pre-built binaries CA_8.3rc1 and CA8.3rc2 will work for any large data set.  Detail paper...

bix.ucsd.edu - BLASR (Basic Local Alignment with Successive Refinement) for mapping Single Molecule Sequencing (SMS) reads that are thousands to tens of thousands of bases long with divergence between the read and genome dominated by insertion and deletion...

japsa.readthedocs.io - npScarf (jsa.np.npscarf) is a program that connect contigs from a draft genomes to generate sequences that are closer to finish. These pipelines can run on a single laptop for microbial datasets. In real-time mode, it can be integrated with simple...
