GTDB-Tk: A toolkit for assigning objective taxonomic classifications to bacterial and archaeal genomes.

Rahul Nayak — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 03:21:01 -0500

GTDB-Tk is a software toolkit for assigning objective taxonomic classifications to bacterial and archaeal genomes. It is computationally efficient and designed to work with recent advances that allow hundreds or thousands of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to be obtained directly from environmental samples. It can also be applied to isolate and single-cell genomes. The GTDB-Tk is open source and released under the GNU General Public License (Version 3).

GTDB-Tk is under active development and validation. Please independently confirm the GTDB-Tk predictions by manually inspecting the tree and bringing any discrepencies to our attention. Notifications about GTDB-Tk releases will be available through the ACE Twitter account (https://twitter.com/ace_uq).

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.

Published a dataset of 363 genomes from approximately 92 percent of bird families

Jit — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 07:04:41 -0600

A research team published a dataset of 363 genomes from approximately 92 percent of bird families and showed the significance of sampling dense organisms for biodiversity research. The study was jointly conducted by Chinese and international institutions and museums and was led by researchers from the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Total of 267 were newly published among the 363 sequenced genomes. They were mainly taken from samples of avian tissue kept in museums around the world, enabling researchers to sequence rare and endangered birds' genomes.

Its descendants have adapted to a wide variety of ecological niches since the first bird formed more than 150 million years ago, giving rise to small, hovering hummingbirds, plunge-diving pelicans and showy paradise birds. More than 10,000 bird species live on the planet today - and now scientists are well on their way to capturing a full genetic image of that diversity.

B10K is expanding its efforts to encompass the next stage of avian classification with 363 genomes complete. The team will sequence thousands of extra genomes in this process, attempting to represent each of the approximately 2,300 bird genera.

The genomic resource is expected to provide new insights on evolutionary processes in cross-species comparative studies and assist in efforts to protect species, according to the research findings reported as a cover story in the journal Nature.

GeneProf: analysis of high-throughput sequencing experiment

Jit — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 16:47:05 -0500

GeneProf is a web-based, graphical software suite that allows users to analyse data produced using high-throughput sequencing platforms (RNA-seq and ChIP-seq; "Next-Generation Sequencing" or NGS): Next-gen analysis for next-gen data!

Some of GeneProf's highlights include:

Easy-to-use web-based interface:Access your data at any time from any computer with a working internet connection -- no need to install software! (cp. Section 'System Requirements').
Analysis wizards make your life easy:Step-by-step workflows make it easy to analyse high-throughput data within a minimum of hands-on time. (cp. SubConcept 'Analysis Wizards').
Versatile modules:Advanced users and data analysis experts benefit from GeneProf's broad range of analysis modules, which can be combined freely into sophisticated workflows (cp. Concept 'Workflows').
Integrated Analysis:Analysis of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data in one place, plus support for the integration of other external data (e.g. from microarrays).
Comprehensive Resource:GeneProf provides a comprehensive resource of fully analyzed next-generation sequencing data. Experimental results can be easily accessed and compared and the analysis procedures employed to produce the data are fully transparent (cp. Tutorial 'Examining Public Next-Gen Data..').
Extensibility:Algorithm developers and computer programmers can develop their own modules and extend GeneProf. Existing software can be easily wrapped in the workflow framework (cp. Section 'Module Development: Adding new..') and data from GeneProf may be used externally (cp. Section 'Web API: Retrieving Data from ..').

GeneProf is academic software developed at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine / Institute for Stem Cell Research, University of Edinburgh and has benefited from funding by the Medical Research Council and the EU Framework 7 Project "EuroSyStem".

MetaEuk - sensitive, high-throughput gene discovery and annotation for large-scale eukaryotic metagenomics

Jit — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 19:29:32 -0600

MetaEuk is a modular toolkit designed for large-scale gene discovery and annotation in eukaryotic metagenomic contigs. Metaeuk combines the fast and sensitive homology search capabilities of MMseqs2 with a dynamic programming procedure to recover optimal exons sets. It reduces redundancies in multiple discoveries of the same gene and resolves conflicting gene predictions on the same strand. MetaEuk is GPL-licensed open source software that is implemented in C++ and available for Linux and macOS. The software is designed to run on multiple cores.

TULIP - The Uncorrected Long read Itegration Pipeline

Jit — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 09:30:01 -0600

#Running TULIP (The Uncorrected Long-read Integration Process), version 0.4 late 2016 (European eel)

TULIP currently consists of to Perl scripts, tulipseed.perl and tulipbulb.perl. These are very much intended as prototypes, and additional components and/or implementations are likely to follow.
Tulipseed takes as input alignments files of long reads to sparse short seeds, and outputs a graph and scaffold structures. Tulipbulb adds long read sequencing data to these.
