MFannot is a program for the annotation of mitochondrial and plastid genomes

MFannot is a program for the annotation of mitochondrial and plastid genomes. It is a PERL wrapper around a set of diverse, external independent tools.

It makes intense use of RNA/intron detection tools including HMMER, Exonerate, Erpin and others.

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.

DAGchainer: Computing Chains of Syntenic Genes in Complete Genomes

Abhimanyu Singh — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 16:13:35 -0600

The DAGchainer software computes chains of syntenic genes found within complete genome sequences. As input, DAGchainer accepts a list of gene pairs with sequence homology along with their genome coordinates. Using a scoring function which accounts for the distance between neighboring genes on each DNA molecule and the BLAST E-value score between homologs, maximally scoring chains of ordered gene pairs are computed and reported. This algorithm can be used to mine large evolutionary conserved regions of genomes between two organisms. Alternatively, by examining colinear sets of homologous genes found within a single genome, segmental genome duplications can be revealed.

This software distribution includes both the DAGchainer utility and a Java-based graphical interface that allows the inputs and outputs to be navigated and interrogated dynamically.

Understanding liftOver !

Rahul Nayak — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 10:00:20 -0500

LiftOver is a necesary step to bring all genetical analysis to the same reference build. LiftOver can have three use cases:

(1) Convert genome position from one genome assembly to another genome assembly

In most scenarios, we have known genome positions in NCBI build 36 (UCSC hg 18) and hope to lift them over to NCBI build 37 (UCSC hg19).

(2) Convert dbSNP rs number from one build to another

(3) Convert both genome position and dbSNP rs number over different versions

Run:

liftOver input.bed hg18ToHg19.over.chain.gz output.bed unlifted.bed

The outformat is as follow:

Deleted in new:
    Sequence intersects no chains
Partially deleted in new:
    Sequence insufficiently intersects one chain
Split in new:
    Sequence insufficiently intersects multiple chains
Duplicated in new:
    Sequence sufficiently intersects multiple chains
Boundary problem:
    Missing start or end base in an exon

For example:

If you liftOver chr4:6497-6497 from hg19 to GRch38 and it return "deleted in new".

It means chr4:6497-6497 is part of a genomic contig on hg19 that is not anymore mapped on GRch38 because the new assembly is now better built without including this contig.

DeCoSTAR: Reconstructing the Ancestral Organization of Genes or Genomes Using Reconciled Phylogenies

Shruti Paniwala — Fri, 03 Jan 2020 13:28:19 -0600

DeCoSTAR computes adjacency evolutionary scenarios using a scoring scheme based on a weighted sum of adjacency gains and breakages. Solutions, both optimal and near-optimal, are sampled according to the Boltzmann–Gibbs distribution centered around parsimonious solutions, and statistical supports on ancestral and extant adjacencies are provided. DeCoSTAR supports the features of previously contributed tools that reconstruct ancestral adjacencies, namely DeCo, DeCoLT, ART-DeCo, and DeClone. In a few minutes, DeCoSTAR can reconstruct the evolutionary history of domains inside genes, of gene fusion and fission events, or of gene order along chromosomes, for large data sets including dozens of whole genomes from all kingdoms of life.
