~$ ./sviper -s short-reads.bam -l long-reads.bam -r ref.fa -c variants.vcf -o polished_variants

This will output a polished_variants.vcf file, that contains all the refined variants.

Sometimes it is helpful to look at the polished sequence, e.g. with the IGV browser. In that case you want SViper to output the polished and aligned sequences in a bam file via the option --output-polished-bam:

~$ ./sviper -s short-reads.bam -l long-reads.bam -r ref.fa -c variants.vcf -o polished_variants --output-polished-bam

where, c is the count of a k-mer from reads, m is the mode of counts of read k-mers, and n is the copy of the k-mer in the assembly.

Visualization and quality assessment of de novo genome assemblies

Citation

This software is fully described in the paper:
Riba-Grognuz, Keller, Falquet, Xenarios & Wurm (2011) Visualization and quality assessment of de novo genome assemblies.

In brief, our scripts create Cytoscape files to visualize transcript evidence that suggests adjacency between scaffolds and contigs.

Software requirements

BLAT (tested with Standalone BLAT v. 32×1). Source Binaries .
Cytoscape (tested with versions 2.7.0, 2.8.2)
a UNIX machine (tested on Mac OS X 10.6 and CentOS 4.6)

1. sequenced and analyzed the genome of the invasive red fire ant Solenopsis invicta (PNAS 2011)

2. discovered that a fundamental social trait in this species (how many queens are accepted in the colony) is determined by variants of a social chromosome (Nature 2013).

3. described the gene expression changes that occur in a virgin queen when she is given the opportunity of replacing her mother (Mol Ecol 2010).

• Importantly, this study found many large population groups from India in which individuals were more related to each other by descent. These groups are similar to the Finnish population group where many disease gene discoveries were made. The Finnish-equivalent Indian groups are going to be a great resource for disease gene discovery and they will aid in target identification, drug development and disease management. 

• This study has identified many genetic variants that are specific to Indian population groups that were previously not known. Some of these are common variants in the Indian groups, but when first identified by previous studies from India involving smaller sample size, they were thought to be disease causing (for example in diabetes) as they were not represented in the Eurocentric variant database. 

• Several variants that pre-dispose individuals to higher cancer risk were identified in this study. Once this part of the work is expanded, the data from this can be used to screen individuals to understand the disease risk and provide appropriate monitoring and proactive treatment. Similarly, variants linked to increase in adverse effect in individuals for certain drugs were found. Understanding this will allow doctors to provide alternate safer drugs to such patients.
