BEAR: Better Emulation for Artificial Reads

BioStar — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 04:27:53 -0500

Created by Stephen Johnson, Brett Trost, Dr. Jeffrey R. Long, Dr. Anthony Kusalik University of Saskatchewan, Department of Computer Science

BEAR is intended to be an easy-to-use collection of scripts for generating simulated WGS metagenomic reads with read lengths, quality scores, error profiles, and species abundances derived from real user-supplied WGS data.

COSINE: non-seeding method for mapping long noisy sequences

Jit — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 00:41:59 -0500

Third generation sequencing (TGS) are highly promising technologies but the long and noisy reads from TGS are difficult to align using existing algorithms. Here, we present COSINE, a conceptually new method designed specifically for aligning long reads contaminated by a high level of errors.

Long Read Correction and other Correction tools

This package is a loose collection of scripts. To run the correction
routine see the section below. Descriptions of the other scripts
are at the bottom of this file.

Contact: gurtowsk@cshl.edu

In short, the correction algorithm takes as input the unitigs from a short read assembly and uses them to correct long read data. More background information for the algorithm can be found:

FLAS: fast and high throughput algorithm for PacBio long read self-correction.

Jit — Sat, 22 Jun 2019 12:16:39 -0500

FLAS, a wrapper algorithm of MECAT, to achieve high throughput long read self-correction while keeping MECAT's fast speed. FLAS finds additional alignments from MECAT prealigned long reads to improve the correction throughput, and removes misalignments for accuracy.

MAKER

Jitendra Narayan — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 15:59:24 -0600

MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline.Its purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome projects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based quality values.

NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline

Jit — Tue, 16 May 2017 08:56:03 -0500

NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline is designed to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes (chromosomes and plasmids).

Genome annotation is a multi-level process that includes prediction of protein-coding genes, as well as other functional genome units such as structural RNAs, tRNAs, small RNAs, pseudogenes, control regions, direct and inverted repeats, insertion sequences, transposons and other mobile elements.

NCBI has developed an automatic prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline that combines ab initio gene prediction algorithms with homology based methods. The first version of NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Automatic Annotation Pipeline (PGAAP; see Pubmed Article) developed in 2005 has been replaced with an upgraded version that is capable of processing a larger data volume. You can find a more detailed description of the new version of the pipeline in NCBI Handbook chapter. NCBI's annotation pipeline depends on several internal databases and is not currently available for download or use outside of the NCBI environment.

Roary: the Pan Genome Pipeline

Jit — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 05:52:07 -0600

Roary is a high speed stand alone pan genome pipeline, which takes annotated assemblies in GFF3 format (produced by Prokka (Seemann, 2014)) and calculates the pan genome. Using a standard desktop PC, it can analyse datasets with thousands of samples, something which is computationally infeasible with existing methods, without compromising the quality of the results. 128 samples can be analysed in under 1 hour using 1 GB of RAM and a single processor. To perform this analysis using existing methods would take weeks and hundreds of GB of RAM. Roary is not intended for meta-genomics or for comparing extremely diverse sets of genomes.

Bactopia: a Flexible Pipeline for Complete Analysis of Bacterial Genomes

Abhi — Wed, 15 May 2024 14:36:12 -0500

Bactopia is a flexible pipeline for complete analysis of bacterial genomes. The goal of Bactopia is to process your data with a broad set of tools, so that you can get to the fun part of analyses quicker!

Bactopia can be split into two main parts: Bactopia Analysis Pipeline, and Bactopia Tools.

Bactopia Analysis Pipeline is the main per-isolate workflow in Bactopia. Built with Nextflow, input FASTQs (local or available from SRA/ENA) are put through numerous analyses including: quality control, assembly, annotation, minmer sketch queries, sequence typing, and more.

Bactopia Tools are a set a independent workflows fo
