List of bioinformatics tools/Software Website References for genome assembly:

github.com - Genome U-Plot for producing clear and intuitive graphs that allows researchers to generate novel insights and hypotheses by visualizing SVs such as deletions, amplifications, and chromoanagenesis events. The main features of the Genome U-Plot are...

Structural variation caller tools using long reads

Package suites gather software packages and installation tools for specific languages or platforms. We have some for bioinformatics software.

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...

Genome browsers are useful not only for showing final results but also for improving analysis protocols, testing data quality, and generating result drafts. Its integration in analysis pipelines allows the optimization of parameters, which...

github.com - RagTag is a collection of software tools for scaffolding and improving modern genome assemblies. Tasks include: Homology-based misassembly correction Homology-based assembly scaffolding and patching Scaffold merging

Commercial tools Strand NGS offers many different tools including alignment, RNA-Seq, DNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, Small RNA-Seq, Genome Browser, visualizations, Biological Interpretation, etc. Supports workflows “one can import the sample data in...

Meaningful analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, which are produced extensively by genetics and genomics studies, relies crucially on the accurate calling of SNPs and genotypes. Recently developed statistical methods both improve and...

To decide which strategy should be our “preferred” genome assembly approach based on data rather than my gut-feeling about the “best assembly” I decided to do some testing with a known “true” reference E Coli K12 MG1655
