Cogent: a tool for reconstructing the coding genome using high-quality full-length transcriptome sequences.

Jit — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 05:33:04 -0500

Cogent is a tool that identifies gene families and reconstructs the coding genome using high-quality transcriptome data without a reference genome, and can be used to check assemblies for the presence of these known coding sequences.

Cogent is a tool for reconstructing the coding genome using high-quality full-length transcriptome sequences. It is designed to be used on Iso-Seq data and in cases where there is no reference genome or the ref genome is highly incomplete.

See a recent presentation on Cogent being applied to the Cuttlefish Iso-Seq data.

Cogent preliminary draft paper (updated 2016Dec version), Supplementary

Please see wiki for details on usage.

EFS: an ensemble feature selection tool implemented as R-package and web-application

Jit — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 05:12:23 -0600

The software EFS (Ensemble Feature Selection) makes use of multiple feature selection methods and combines their normalized outputs to a quantitative ensemble importance. Currently, eight different feature selection methods have been integrated in EFS, which can be used separately or combined in an ensemble.

WEGO : simple but useful tool for visualizing, comparing and plotting GO (Gene Ontology) annotation results

BioStar — Sun, 12 Apr 2020 10:02:22 -0500

WEGO (Web Gene Ontology Annotation Plot) is a simple but useful tool for visualizing, comparing and plotting GO (Gene Ontology) annotation results. As the GO vocabulary became more and more popular, WEGO was widely adopted and used in many researches. Therefore we have updated WEGO 2.0 in 2018. Here are some changes we’ve made:
1. The limit of input file numbers was cancelled. Now the users could upload as many files as they want with one operation.
2. We have added the reference data of 9 species for users selection.
3. Besides the traditional WEGO histogram, WEGO 2.0 outputs an additional type of bar graph showing GO terms with significant gene number differences.

Sibelia: A comparative genomics tool

BioStar — Sat, 22 Aug 2020 02:49:00 -0500

Sibelia: A comparative genomics tool: It assists biologists in analysing the genomic variations that correlate with pathogens, or the genomic changes that help microorganisms adapt in different environments. Sibelia will also be helpful for the evolutionary and genome rearrangement studies for multiple strains of microorganisms.

Sibelia is useful in finding: (1) shared regions, (2) regions that present in one group of genomes but not in others, (3) rearrangements that transform one genome to other genomes.

JumboDB: tool for de Bruijn graph construction

BioStar — Tue, 17 Aug 2021 13:33:46 -0500

jumboDB tool for fast de Bruijn graph construction from long sequences (reads or genomes) with very low error rate. JumboDB is not a genome assembler by itself but rather a subroutine that translates a set of reads into compressed de Bruijn graph.

bacLIFE: an automated genome mining tool for identification of lifestyle associated genes

BioStar — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 04:59:14 -0500

bacLIFE is a streamlined computational workflow that annotates bacterial genomes and performs large-scale comparative genomics to predict bacterial lifestyles and to pinpoint candidate genes, denominated lifestyle-associated genes (LAGs), and biosynthetic gene clusters associated with each lifestyle detected. This whole process is divided into different modules:

Clustering module Predicts, clusters and annotates the genes of every input genome
Lifestyle prediction Employs a machine learning model to forecast bacterial lifestyle or other specified metadata
Analitical module (Shiny app) Results from the previous modules are embedded in a user-friendly interface for comprehensive and interactive comparative genomics.

HELIANO: A fast and accurate tool for detection of Helitron-like elements

LEGE — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 07:16:34 -0500

Helitron-like elements (HLE1 and HLE2) are DNA transposons. They have been found in diverse species and seem to play significant roles in the evolution of host genomes. Although known for over twenty years, Helitron sequences are still challenging to identify. Here, we propose HELIANO (Helitron-like elements annotator) as an efficient solution for detecting Helitron-like elements.
