compare two BWA mapping methods with the online hg18-mapped data

We first operate a rapid inspection of the different BAM files using samtools flagstat. Illumina provided chr21 read mapping obtained with their GA IIx deep sequencing platform <ftp://webdata:webdata@ussd-ftp.illumina.com/Data/SequencingRuns/NA18507_GAIIx_100_chr21.bam>, aligned to the b36/hg18 reference genome)

GeneValidator - Identify problems with predicted genes

Poonam Mahapatra — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 06:00:03 -0500

GeneValidator helps in identifing problems with gene predictions and provide useful information extracted from analysing orthologs in BLAST databases. The results produced can be used by biocurators and researchers who need accurate gene predictions.

If you would like to use GeneValidator on a few sequences, see our online GeneValidator Web App -http://genevalidator.sbcs.qmul.ac.uk.

If you use GeneValidator in your work, please cite us as follows:

R-chie

Jit — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 11:47:24 -0500

R-chie allows you to make arc diagrams of RNA secondary structures, allowing for easy comparison and overlap of two structures, rank and display basepairs in colour and to also visualize corresponding multiple sequence alignments and co-variation information.
R4RNA is the R package powering R-chie, available for download and local use for more customized figures and scripting.

FERMI

Jit — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 05:37:13 -0500

Fermi is a de novo assembler with a particular focus on assembling Illumina short sequence reads from a mammal-sized genome. In addition to the role of a typical assembler, fermi also aims to preserve heterozygotes which are often collapsed by other assemblers. Its ultimate goal is to find a minimal set of
unitigs to represent all the information in raw reads.

Fermi follows the overlap-layout-consensus paradigm and uses the FM-DNA-index (FMD-index) as the key data structure. It is inspired by the string graph assembler (Simpson and Durbin, 2010 and 2012) and has a similar workflow.

As a typical de novo assembler, fermi tends to produce contigs with slightly longer N50. However, the major weakness of fermi is the high misassembly rate. Although fermi provides a tool to fix misassemblies by using paired-end reads to achieve an accuracy comparable to other assemblers, this is not a favorable solution.

Fermi is designed to be used on a multi-core Linux machine with large shared memory. The easiest way to run fermi is to use the run-fermi.pl script. It generates a Makefile. The actual assembly is done by invoking make. Premature assembly processes can be resumed. Here is an example:

run-fermi.pl -dAPe ./fermi -p NA12878 -t16 -f18 reads*.fq.gz > NA12878.mak
make -f NA12878.mak -j16

Strudel

Anjana — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 09:47:02 -0500

Strudel is our graphical tool for visualizing genetic and physical maps of genomes for comparative purposes. The application aims to let the user examine their data at a variety of different levels of resolution, from entire maps to individual markers, and explore syntenic relationships between genomes. All browsing and interaction with Strudel happens in real-time – there is no need to wait while the maps are generated. It is built using Java 1.6 and ships with its own JRE, so there is no need for users to install or update Java.
