	<title><![CDATA[Gap filling or Contigs extensions tools !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>There are many tools to perform gap filling using Illumina short reads, for example "GapFiller: a de novo assembly approach to fill the gap within paired reads" or "Toward almost closed genomes with GapFiller". There are also some tools like GAPresolution that can help to perform local re-assemblies using 454 reads. We used GAPresolution but it is not a very good software, it is useful only in some specific situations.</p>

<p>Take a look at the PRICE software from the DeRisi lab. Its meant to do something very similar. http://derisilab.ucsf.edu/index.php?page=software</p>

<p>You could also look at SSPACE (http://www.baseclear.com/landingpages/basetools-a-wide-range-of-bioinformatics-solutions/sspacev12/), ATLAS tools (http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/content/bcm-hgsc-software), and SCARPA (http://compbio.cs.toronto.edu/hapsembler/scarpa.html).</p>

<p>See the PAGIT protocol: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/pagit/ </p>

<p>In particular, take a look at the IMAGE tool: http://genomebiology.com/2010/11/4/R41 </p>

<p>Also SOAPdenovo has ha function for scaffolding. Not sure about ABYSS</p>

<p>Here there is a useful explanation of several tools.</p>

<p>https://bioinformaticsonline.com/search?q=scaffolding&amp;entity_type=object&amp;entity_subtype=bookmarks&amp;offset=0&amp;search_type=entities</p>

<p>I could be wrong, but the above answers to your hypothetical scenario appear to miss the point that you aren't interested in assembling the full genome, just the 100 kb part you're interested in. I suggest the following algorithm:</p>

<p>1. Start with the initial assembly C0 of the contigs you have identified as overlapping your region of interest, and the set S of reads those contigs contain. Let C = C0.</p>

<p>2. Repeat:<br />a. Identify paired-end reads (not in C) for which one or both ends align within, or extending, contigs in C.<br />b. Identify unpaired reads that align extending these new paired-end reads.<br />c. Construct a new assembly C' from C and the new reads identified in (a) and (b).<br />d. Trim C' so it does not extend more than 100 kb to either end of C0. Set C = C'.<br />e. Let S' denote the reads that contribute to C'. If S' does not contain any reads not present in S, stop. Otherwise, Set S = S'.</p>

<p>3. If you don't have a complete assembly of the region of interest, generate an STS for each end of each contig, probe a library for clones including these STSes, subclone these clones into a paired-end sequencing vector, and generate paired-end reads for this library; then try steps (1) and (2) again, adding these new sequencing reads to what you had before.</p>

<p>4. If your average sequencing depth for the region of interest exceeds 25 or so without filling all gaps, it is likely that the remaining gaps represent sequences that are not getting cloned in your sequencing vectors. Try different sequencing vectors.</p>

  <description><![CDATA[
<p>The goal of our research is to interpret and distill this complexity through accurate analysis and modeling of molecular pathways, particularly those in which malfunctions lead to the manifestation of disease. We are inventing integrative methods for systems-level pathway modeling through integrative analysis of genome-scale datasets. We apply these approaches in studying challenging biological problems, such as how pathways function in diverse cell types and how they change dynamically.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Upset plots !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Upset plots are a type of visualization used to analyze the intersection of sets or categories. They are particularly useful for displaying data with multiple categories and analyzing their overlaps.</p>
<p>In an upset plot, each row represents a category or set, and each column represents a data point. The length of the bar for each category indicates the number of data points that belong to that category. The plot also shows the intersections between categories, represented by overlapping bars.</p>
<p>Upset plots are useful for visualizing complex data with multiple categories and intersections, and can help identify patterns and relationships between categories. They are often used in fields such as bioinformatics, where they can be used to analyze gene expression data or to compare the results of different experimental conditions.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[miniasm: very fast OLC-based de novo assembler for noisy long reads]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Miniasm is a very fast OLC-based&nbsp;<em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembler for noisy long reads. It takes all-vs-all read self-mappings (typically by&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap">minimap</a>) as input and outputs an assembly graph in the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/pmelsted/GFA-spec/blob/master/GFA-spec.md">GFA</a>&nbsp;format. Different from mainstream assemblers, miniasm does not have a consensus step. It simply concatenates pieces of read sequences to generate the final&nbsp;<a href="http://wgs-assembler.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Celera_Assembler_Terminology">unitig</a>&nbsp;sequences. Thus the per-base error rate is similar to the raw input reads.</p>
<p>So far miniasm is in early development stage. It has only been tested on a dozen of PacBio and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) bacterial data sets. Including the mapping step, it takes about 3 minutes to assemble a bacterial genome. Under the default setting, miniasm assembles 9 out of 12 PacBio datasets and 3 out of 4 ONT datasets into a single contig. The 12 PacBio data sets are&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/E.-coli-Bacterial-Assembly">PacBio E. coli sample</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS473430">ERS473430</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS544009">ERS544009</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS554120">ERS554120</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS605484">ERS605484</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS617393">ERS617393</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS646601">ERS646601</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS659581">ERS659581</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS670327">ERS670327</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS685285">ERS685285</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS743109">ERS743109</a>&nbsp;and a&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/E.-coli-20kb-Size-Selected-Library-with-P6-C4/ce0533c1d2a957488594f0b29da61ffa3e4627e8">deprecated PacBio E. coli data set</a>. ONT data are acquired from the&nbsp;<a href="http://lab.loman.net/2015/09/24/first-sqk-map-006-experiment/">Loman Lab</a>.</p>
<p>For a&nbsp;<em>C. elegans</em>&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/C.-elegans-data-set">PacBio data set</a>&nbsp;(only 40X are used, not the whole dataset), miniasm finishes the assembly, including reads overlapping, in ~10 minutes with 16 CPUs. The total assembly size is 105Mb; the N50 is 1.94Mb. In comparison, the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/Bioinformatics-Training/wiki/HGAP">HGAP3</a>produces a 104Mb assembly with N50 1.61Mb.&nbsp;<a href="http://lh3lh3.users.sourceforge.net/download/ce-miniasm.png">This dotter plot</a>&nbsp;gives a global view of the miniasm assembly (on the X axis) and the HGAP3 assembly (on Y). They are broadly comparable. Of course, the HGAP3 consensus sequences are much more accurate. In addition, on the whole data set (assembled in ~30 min), the miniasm N50 is reduced to 1.79Mb. Miniasm still needs improvements.</p>
<p>Miniasm confirms that at least for high-coverage bacterial genomes, it is possible to generate long contigs from raw PacBio or ONT reads without error correction. It also shows that&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap">minimap</a>&nbsp;can be used as a read overlapper, even though it is probably not as sensitive as the more sophisticated overlapers such as&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/marbl/MHAP">MHAP</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/thegenemyers/DALIGNER">DALIGNER</a>. Coupled with long-read error correctors and consensus tools, miniasm may also be useful to produce high-quality assemblies.</p>
<p>Minimap and miniasm are ultrafast tools for (i) mapping and (ii) assembly. Designed for long, noisy reads, they do not have a correction or consensus step, and therefore the resulting assemblies are contiguous (i.e. long) but very noisy (i.e. full of errors)</p>
<p>We start with an all against all comparison:</p>
<div>
<pre><code>minimap -Sw5 -L100 -m0 -t8 reads.fq reads.fq | gzip -1 &gt; reads.paf.gz
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Then we can assemble</p>
<div>
<pre><code>miniasm -f reads.fq reads.paf.gz &gt; reads.gfa
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Convert GFA to FASTA:</p>
<div>
<pre><code>awk <span>'/^S/{print "&gt;"$2"\n"$3}'</span> reads.gfa | fold &gt; reads.fa
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>And then count how many contigs:</p>
<div>
<pre><code>grep <span>"&gt;"</span> reads.fa | wc -l</code></pre>
</div>
