DIAL

Abhimanyu Singh — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 08:42:28 -0600

A computational pipeline for identifying single-base substitutions between two closely related genomes without the help of a reference genome. DIAL works even when the depth of coverage is insufficient for de novo assembly, and it can be extended to determine small insertions/deletions. Our main motivation is to use this tool to survey the genetic diversity of endangered species as the identified sequence differences can be used to design genotyping arrays to assist in the species' management.

funannotate: Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline

Jit — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 07:47:22 -0500

Funannotate is a genome prediction, annotation, and comparison software package. It was originally written to annotate fungal genomes (small eukaryotes ~ 30 Mb genomes), but has evolved over time to accomodate larger genomes. The impetus for this software package was to be able to accurately and easily annotate a genome for submission to NCBI GenBank. Existing tools (such as Maker) require significant manually editing to comply with GenBank submission rules, thus funannotate is aimed at simplifying the genome submission process.

COPE: an accurate k-mer-based pair-end reads connection tool to facilitate genome assembly

Jit — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 02:08:14 -0600

An efficient tool called Connecting Overlapped Pair-End (COPE) reads, to connect overlapping pair-end reads using k-mer frequencies. We evaluated our tool on 30× simulated pair-end reads from Arabidopsis thaliana with 1% base error. COPE connected over 99% of reads with 98.8% accuracy, which is, respectively, 10 and 2% higher than the recently published tool FLASH. When COPE is applied to real reads for genome assembly, the resulting contigs are found to have fewer errors and give a 14-fold improvement in the N50 measurement when compared with the contigs produced using unconnected reads.

3d-dna: 3D de novo assembly (3D DNA) pipeline

Jit — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 10:09:37 -0600

This code is designed to enable anyone to reproduce the Hs2-HiC and the AaegL4 genomes reported in: Dudchenko et al., De novo assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome using Hi-C yields chromosome-length scaffolds. Science, 2017.

Unless otherwise noted, all terminology below is consistent with this paper, and all references to figures and tables in this readme refer to this paper. Specifically, some of the terminology used below is outlined in Figure S2. The assembly procedure is described in detail in the Supporting Online Materials, specifically in the section labelled “Pipeline description”.

In addition, the pipeline uses tools and methods from Juicer (Durand & Shamim et al., Cell Systems, 2016) and Juicebox (Durand & Robinson et al., Cell Systems, 2016), as well as additional dependencies noted below.

Nanopolis: polish a genome assembly

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 04:51:28 -0500

Software package for signal-level analysis of Oxford Nanopore sequencing data. Nanopolish can calculate an improved consensus sequence for a draft genome assembly, detect base modifications, call SNPs and indels with respect to a reference genome and more (see Nanopolish modules, below).

QUAST-LG: Versatile genome assembly evaluation

Jit — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 10:46:55 -0500

QUAST-LG-a tool that compares large genomic de novo assemblies against reference sequences and computes relevant quality metrics. Since genomes generally cannot be reconstructed completely due to complex repeat patterns and low coverage regions, we introduce a concept of upper bound assembly for a given genome and set of reads, and compute theoretical limits on assembly correctness and completeness. Using QUAST-LG, we show how close the assemblies are to the theoretical optimum, and how far this optimum is from the finished reference.

CANU genome assembly parameters !

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 08:40:37 -0600

Choose the appropriate parameters to run Canu and run it. The assembly will take about an hour. You can use two cores (parameter -maxThreads=2) and you would like to disable cluster option, since we compute on a single Amazon server set off the option to compute on cluster useGrid=false. This specifications should be for your project discussed with a local computing guru. The parameters that are in square brackets [] are optional, symbol | stands for "or".

usage:   canu [-correct | -trim | -assemble | -trim-assemble] \
              [-s ] \
               -p  \
               -d  \
               genomeSize=[g|m|k] \
               -maxThreads=2 \
               useGrid=false \
              [other-options] \
               read_file.fastq.gz

A default Canu run produces usually high quality assembly, example of a command that was used for testing can be found below. However, there are still a lot of parameters that are possible to tweak. For example if we desire to assemble haplotypes separately of if we want to smash them together, we can alternate the error correction process.

canu -p test_asmbl \
     -d asm_test3 \
     genomeSize=2m \
     -maxThreads=2 useGrid=false \
     -pacbio-raw \ ~/pacbio/dna/sample_reads.fastq.gz

There is a brilliant section in documentation about parameter tweaking.

The output directory contains will contain many files. The most interesting ones are:

*.correctedReads.fasta.gz : file containing the input sequences after correction, trim and split based on consensus evidence.
*.trimmedReads.fastq : file containing the sequences after correction and final trimming
*.layout : file containing informations about read inclusion in the final assembly
*.gfa : file containing the assembly graph by Canu
*.contigs.fasta : file containing everything that could be assembled and is part of the primary assembly

The basic stats of assembly can be read from reports generated by the assembler, or calculated using standard UNIX command line tools.

HASLR: a tool for rapid genome assembly of long sequencing reads

LEGE — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 05:50:15 -0600

HASLR is a tool for rapid genome assembly of long sequencing reads. HASLR is a hybrid tool which means it requires long reads generated by Third Generation Sequencing technologies (such as PacBio or Oxford Nanopore) together with Next Generation Sequencing reads (such as Illumina) from the same sample.
