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

GView: A Java application for viewing and examining prokaryotic genomes in a circular or linear context

Abhimanyu Singh — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 07:47:03 -0500

GView is a Java application for viewing and examining prokaryotic genomes in a circular or linear context. It accepts standard sequence file formats and an optional style specification file to generate customizable, publication quality genome maps in bitmap and scalable vector graphics formats. GView features an interactive pan-and-zoom interface, a command-line interface for incorporation in genome analysis pipelines, and a public Application Programming Interface for incorporation in other Java applications.

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).

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.

Synorth: exploring the evolution of synteny and long-range regulatory interactions in vertebrate genomes

LEGE — Mon, 06 May 2024 06:21:10 -0500

Genomic regulatory blocks are chromosomal regions spanned by long clusters of highly conserved noncoding elements devoted to long-range regulation of developmental genes, often immobilizing other, unrelated genes into long-lasting syntenic arrangements. Synorth http://synorth.genereg.net/ is a web resource for exploring and categorizing the syntenic relationships in genomic regulatory blocks across multiple genomes, tracing their evolutionary fate after teleost whole genome duplication at the level of genomic regulatory block loci, individual genes, and their phylogenetic context.

npScarf: Scaffolding and Completing Assemblies in Real-time Fashion

Jit — Tue, 23 May 2017 04:53:29 -0500

npScarf (jsa.np.npscarf) is a program that scaffolds and completes draft genomes assemblies in real-time with Oxford Nanopore sequencing. The pipeline can run on a computing cluster as well as on a laptop computer for microbial datasets. It also facilitates the real-time analysis of positional information such as gene ordering and the detection of genes from mobile elements (plasmids and genomic islands).

pbalign: maps PacBio reads to reference sequences and saves alignments to a BAM file

Jit — Thu, 24 May 2018 10:06:52 -0500

pbalign aligns PacBio reads to reference sequences, filters aligned reads according to user-specific filtering criteria, and converts the output to either the SAM format or PacBio Compare HDF5 (e.g., .cmp.h5) format. The output Compare HDF5 file will be compatible with Quiver if --forQuiver option is specified.
