mScaffolder: A comparative genome scaffolding tool

Jit — Fri, 15 Jun 2018 04:48:01 -0500

A comparative genome scaffolding tool based on MUMmer

mScaffolder scaffolds a genome using an existing high quality genome as the reference. It aligns the two genomes using nucmer utility from MUMmer and then orders and orients the contigs of the candidate genome guided by their alignments to the reference genome. Please send your questions and comments to mchakrab@uci.edu.

Hawkeye: an interactive visual analytics tool for genome assemblies

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 11:56:17 -0600

Genome sequencing remains an inexact science, and genome sequences can contain significant errors if they are not carefully examined. Hawkeye is our new visual analytics tool for genome assemblies, designed to aid in identifying and correcting assembly errors. Users can analyze all levels of an assembly along with summary statistics and assembly metrics, and are guided by a ranking component towards likely mis-assemblies. Hawkeye is freely available and released as part of the open source AMOS project http://amos.sourceforge.net/hawkeye.

RepeatModeler

Jit — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 09:57:15 -0500

RepeatModeler is a de-novo repeat family identification and modeling package. At the heart of RepeatModeler are two de-novo repeat finding programs ( RECON and RepeatScout ) which employ complementary computational methods for identifying repeat element boundaries and family relationships from sequence data. RepeatModeler assists in automating the runs of RECON and RepeatScout given a genomic database and uses the output to build, refine and classify consensus models of putative interspersed repeats.

Recent technological progress has greatly facilitated de novo genome sequencing. However, de novo assemblies consist in many pieces of contiguous sequence (contigs) arranged in thousands of scaffolds instead of small numbers of chromosomes. Confirming and improving the quality of such assemblies is critical for subsequent analysis.

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)

BRAKER: pipeline for fully automated prediction of protein coding genes with GeneMark-ES/ET and AUGUSTUS in novel eukaryotic genomes

Jit — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 08:02:59 -0500

Gene finding in eukaryotic genomes is notoriously difficult to automate. The task is to design a work flow with a minimal set of tools that would reach state-of-the-art performance across a wide range of species. GeneMark-ET is a gene prediction tool that incorporates RNA-Seq data into unsupervised training and subsequently generates ab initio gene predictions. AUGUSTUS is a gene finder that usually requires supervised training and uses information from RNA-Seq reads in the prediction step. Complementary strengths of GeneMark-ET and AUGUSTUS provided motivation for designing a new combined tool for automatic gene prediction.
