Jaeger : an accurate and fast deep-learning tool to detect bacteriophage sequences

LEGE — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 06:30:16 -0500

Jaeger is a tool that utilizes homology-free machine learning to identify phage genome sequences that are hidden within metagenomes. It is capable of detecting both phages and prophages within metagenomic assemblies.

chromeister: An ultra fast, heuristic approach to detect conserved signals in extremely large pairwise genome comparisons.

USAGE:

-query: sequence A in fasta format
-db: sequence B in fasta format
-out: output matrix
-kmer Integer: k>1 (default 32) Use 32 for chromosomes and genomes and 16 for small bacteria
-diffuse Integer: z>0 (default 4) Use 4 for everything - if using large plant genomes you can try using 1
-dimension Size of the output matrix and plot. Integer: d>0 (default 1000) Use 1000 for everything that is not full genome size, where 2000 is recommended

MOSS: A System for Detecting Software Similarity

Jit — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 08:59:07 -0600

Moss (for a Measure Of Software Similarity) is an automatic system for determining the similarity of programs. To date, the main application of Moss has been in detecting plagiarism in programming classes. Since its development in 1994, Moss has been very effective in this role. The algorithm behind moss is a significant improvement over other cheating detection algorithms (at least, over those known to us).

Moss can currently analyze code written in the following languages:

C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Visual Basic, Javascript, FORTRAN, ML, Haskell, Lisp, Scheme, Pascal, Modula2, Ada, Perl, TCL, Matlab, VHDL, Verilog, Spice, MIPS assembly, a8086 assembly, a8086 assembly, MIPS assembly, HCL2.

ClipCrop: a tool for detecting structural variations with single-base resolution using soft-clipping information

BioJoker — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 06:34:36 -0600

ClipCrop for detecting SVs with single-base resolution using soft-clipping information. A soft-clipped sequence is an unmatched fragment in a partially mapped read. To assess the performance of ClipCrop with other SV-detecting tools, we generated various patterns of simulation data – SV lengths, read lengths, and the depth of coverage of short reads – with insertions, deletions, tandem duplications, inversions and single nucleotide alterations in a human chromosome.

Jaeger : an accurate and fast deep-learning tool to detect bacteriophage sequences

Neel — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 04:02:05 -0500

The performance of the Jaeger workflow can be significantly increased by utilizing GPUs. To enable GPU support, the CUDA Toolkit and cuDNN library must be accessible to conda.

# setup bioconda
conda config --add channels defaults
conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict

# create conda environment and install jaeger
mamba create -n jaeger -c nvidia -c conda-forge cuda-nvcc "python>=3.9,<3.12" pip jaeger-bio

FOGSAA: Fast Optimal Global Sequence Alignment Algorithm

Jit — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 14:41:08 -0600

Sequence alignment algorithms are widely used to infer similarirty and the point of differences between pair of sequences. FOGSAA is a fast Global alignment algorithm. It is basically a branch and bound approach which starts branch expansion in a greedy way taking the symbols from the given pair of sequences (protein or nucleotide) and results in an optimal alignment faster than conventional dymanic programming techniques. It is also better than the heuristic methods with respect to alignment quality.

Flye: Fast and accurate de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads

Rahul Nayak — Sat, 06 Jul 2019 03:48:22 -0500

Flye is a de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads, such as those produced by PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies. It is designed for a wide range of datasets, from small bacterial projects to large mammalian-scale assemblies. The package represents a complete pipeline: it takes raw PB / ONT reads as input and outputs polished contigs. Flye also includes a special mode for metagenome assembly.

SneakySnake: A Fast and Accurate Universal Genome Pre-Alignment Filter for CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs

Neel — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 01:39:54 -0600

The first and the only pre-alignment filtering algorithm that works efficiently and fast on modern CPU, FPGA, and GPU architectures. SneakySnake greatly (by more than two orders of magnitude) expedites sequence alignment calculation for both short (Illumina) and long (ONT and PacBio) reads. Described by Alser et al. (preliminary version at https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.09020).

MUMmer4: A fast and versatile genome alignment system

Jit — Sat, 03 Feb 2018 04:59:17 -0600

MUMmer4, a substantially improved version of MUMmer that addresses genome size constraints by changing the 32-bit suffix tree data structure at the core of MUMmer to a 48-bit suffix array, and that offers improved speed through parallel processing of input query sequences. With a theoretical limit on the input size of 141Tbp, MUMmer4 can now work with input sequences of any biologically realistic length. We show that as a result of these enhancements, the nucmer program in MUMmer4 is easily able to handle alignments of large genomes;

minialign: fast and accurate alignment tool for PacBio and Nanopore long reads

Jit — Thu, 24 May 2018 08:33:26 -0500

Minialign is a little bit fast and moderately accurate nucleotide sequence alignment tool designed for PacBio and Nanopore long reads. It is built on three key algorithms, minimizer-based index of the minimap overlapper, array-based seed chaining, and SIMD-parallel Smith-Waterman-Gotoh extension.
