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.

PhyloHerb: Phylogenomic Analysis Pipeline for Herbarium Specimens

LEGE — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 06:15:13 -0600

What is PhyloHerb: PhyloHerb is a wrapper program to process genome skimming data collected from plant materials. The outcomes include the plastid genome (plastome) assemblies, mitochondrial genome assemblies, nuclear ribosomal DNAs (NTS+ETS+18S+ITS1+5.8S+ITS2+28S), alignments of gene and intergenic regions, and a species tree. It is designed to be a high throughput program dealing with lower quality data. Examples include low-coverage (5x cpDNA) plastome phylogeny, recycling plastid genes from target enrichment data, retrieving low-copy nuclear genes from medium coverage (5x nucDNA) genome skimming.

From DNA Chaos to a Clear Microbial Story

BioStar — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 11:22:54 -0500

Imagine opening a metagenomic dataset and finding millions of DNA fragments, each carrying a tiny piece of information about the microbial world inside a sample. The challenge is not generating the data — it is turning that data into a meaningful story.

This is where MeTAline comes in.

MeTAline is a reproducible workflow designed to simplify shotgun metagenomic analysis. It brings together important steps such as quality control, host-DNA removal, taxonomic profiling and functional analysis, using tools including Kraken2, MetaPhlAn4 and HUMAnN.

What makes it especially useful is its ability to handle large datasets while keeping analyses organized and reproducible. Built with Snakemake and supporting containerized environments, MeTAline can also be used on high-performance computing systems.

In simple terms, MeTAline helps researchers move from millions of confusing DNA fragments to a clearer picture of who is there, what they might be doing, and what the data could mean.

Sometimes, the biggest challenge in science isn't collecting more data — it's finding the story hidden inside it.

Taxoblast : Taxoblast is a pipeline to identify contamination in genomic sequence

Jit — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 08:37:15 -0600

Modern genome sequencing strategies are highly sensitive to contamination making the detection of foreign DNA sequences an important part of analysis pipelines. Here we use Taxoblast, a simple pipeline with a graphical user interface, for the post-assembly detection of contaminating sequences in the published genome of the kelp Saccharina japonica. Analyses were based on multiple blastn searches with short sequence fragments. They revealed a number of probable bacterial contaminations as well as hybrid scaffolds that contain both bacterial and algal sequences. This or similar types of analysis, in combination with manual curation, may thus constitute a useful complement to standard bioinformatics analyses prior to submission of genomic data to public repositories. Our analysis pipeline is open-source and freely available at http://sdittami.altervista.org/taxoblast and via SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/taxoblast).

PGAP-X: Extension on pan-genome analysis pipeline

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 11:41:43 -0600

PGAP-X is a microbial comparative genomic analysis platform with graphic interface. Serials of algorithms and methodologies have been developed and integrated to analyze and visualize genomics structure variation, gene distribution with different conservative levels, and genetic variation from pan-genome sight. At the same time, analytical result data from many other programs, including genome alignment result and orthologs clusters, are also supported to be further analyzed or visualized in PGAP-X. The workflow and feature snapshot in PGAP-X were shown as Fig.1 and Fig.2.

HaploTypo: a variant-calling pipeline for phased genomes

Jit — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 07:33:40 -0600

An increasing number of phased (i.e. with resolved haplotypes) reference genomes are available. However, most genetic variant calling tools do not explicitly account for haplotype structure. Here, we present HaploTypo, a pipeline tailored to resolve haplotypes in genetic variation analyses. HaploTypo infers the haplotype correspondence for each heterozygous variant called on a phased reference genome.

Availability and Implementation

HaploTypo is implemented in Python 2.7 and Python 3.5, and is freely available at https://github.com/gabaldonlab/haplotypo, and as a Docker image.

PyParanoid: a pipeline for rapid identification of homologous gene families in a set of genomes

BioStar — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 10:06:19 -0500

PyParanoid is a pipeline for rapid identification of homologous gene families in a set of genomes - a central task of any comparative genomics analysis. The "gold standard" for identifying homologs is to use reciprocal best hits (RBHs) which depends on performing a all-vs-all sequence comparison, usually using BLAST, to determine homology. However, these methods are computationally expensive, requiring O(n2) resources to identify RBHs. This is problematic, as the modern deluge of sequencing data means that comparative genomics analyses could be performed on datasets of thousands of strains.
