GenomeTools: The versatile open source genome analysis software

Jit — Wed, 07 Feb 2018 10:44:18 -0600

The GenomeTools genome analysis system is a free collection of bioinformatics tools (in the realm of genome informatics) combined into a single binary named gt. It is based on a C library named “libgenometools” which consists of several modules.

If you are interested in gene prediction, have a look at GenomeThreader.

Metassembler: merging and optimizing de novo genome assemblies

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 08 May 2018 04:52:33 -0500

Metassembler combines multiple whole genome de novo assemblies into a combined consensus assembly using the best segments of the individual assemblies.

Genome assembly projects typically run multiple algorithms in an attempt to find the single best assembly, although those assemblies often have complementary, if untapped, strengths and weaknesses. We present our metassembler algorithm that merges multiple assemblies of a genome into a single superior sequence.

Phylogenomics/Phylogenetic website

Aaryan Lokwani — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 02:17:18 -0500

Welcome to phylobabble.org, a discussion forum for phylogenetic theory and applications. The primary goal of this forum is to discuss best practice and new developments in phylogenetics. Although we do have a Troubleshooting category for getting feedback on analyses, this is not a help site for running phylogenetics programs.

A great place to chat about phylogenetics for researchers and the broader community of students and science-interested citizens.

Genomicus: genome browser that enables users to navigate in genomes in several dimensions

Jit — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 23:27:37 -0600

Genomicus is a genome browser that enables users to navigate in genomes in several dimensions: linearly along chromosome axes, transversaly across different species, and chronologicaly along evolutionary time.

Once a query gene has been entered, it is displayed in its genomic context in parallel to the genomic context of all its orthologous and paralogous copies in all the other sequenced metazoan genomes. Moreover, Genomicus stores and displays the predicted ancestral genome structure in all the ancestral species within the phylogenetic range of interest.

All the data on extant species displayed in this browser are from Ensembl.

Summary statistics of Genomicus version 105.01: (view species tree in pdf or newick)


Number of extant species	200
Number of extant genes	4303993
Number of ancestral species	196
Number of ancestral genes	4624213
Number of ancestral synteny blocks	83342
