wtdbg2: A fuzzy Bruijn graph approach to long noisy reads assembly

BioStar — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 04:53:47 -0600

Wtdbg2 is a de novo sequence assembler for long noisy reads produced by PacBio or Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). It assembles raw reads without error correction and then builds the consensus from intermediate assembly output.

./wtdbg2 -x rs -g 4.6m -t 16 -i reads.fa.gz -fo prefix
./wtpoa-cns -t 16 -i prefix.ctg.lay.gz -fo prefix.ctg.fa

MitoZ: a toolkit for animal mitochondrial genome assembly, annotation and visualization

Jit — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 04:09:15 -0600

MitoZ is a Python3-based toolkit which aims to automatically filter pair-end raw data (fastq files), assemble genome, search for mitogenome sequences from the genome assembly result, annotate mitogenome (genbank file as result), and mitogenome visualization. MitoZ is available from https://github.com/linzhi2013/MitoZ.

The specimens were collected by the Oxford Wytham Woods and Edinburgh Lohse lab teams. DNA extraction and sequencing was carried out by the Sanger Institute Scientific Operations teams. Assemblies were carried out by the Tree of Life team (Shane McCarthy) and colleagues in Pacific Biosciences (Jonas Korlach).

VAGUE:Velvet Assembler Graphical Front End

Jit — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 08:56:49 -0600

VAGUE is a vague acronym for "Velvet Assembler Graphical Front End", which means it is a GUI for the Velvet de novo assembler. The command line version of Velvet can be complicated for beginners to use, but VAGUE makes it clear and simple

Minia

Jit — Thu, 08 Dec 2016 05:07:00 -0600

Minia is a short-read assembler based on a de Bruijn graph, capable of assembling a human genome on a desktop computer in a day. The output of Minia is a set of contigs. Minia produces results of similar contiguity and accuracy to other de Bruijn assemblers (e.g. Velvet).

Download

Minia 2.0.7 Linux 64-bits binaries (Source code) (Legacy codebase)

For the impatient

A typical Minia command line looks like:

./minia -in reads.fa -kmer-size 31 -abundance-min 3 -out output_prefix

Type

./minia

for a quick explanation of the parameters.

For more information, refer to the manual.

KmerGenie can be used to determine the best k-mer size, minimum abundance of correct k-mers, and genome size estimation for your dataset.

GARM:Genome Assembly, Reconciliation and Merging

Jit — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 06:03:02 -0600

The pipeline is based mainly implemented using Perl scripts and modules and third-party open source software like the AMOS (Myers et al., 2000) and MUMmer (Kurtz et al., 2004) packages. The pipeline was tested on Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and BioLinux distributions. The method merges contigs or scaffolds from different assemblers using the same or different sequencing technologies. When scaffolds are provided, a process of finding probable compressions or extensions (CE) problems in the assemblies can be per-formed; contigs are joined back into scaffolds after gap recalculation

quickmerge: A simple and fast metassembler and assembly gap filler designed for long molecule based assemblies.

Jit — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 10:23:36 -0600

quickmerge uses a simple concept to improve contiguity of genome assemblies based on long molecule sequences, often with dramatic outcomes. The program uses information from assemblies made with illumina short reads and PacBio long reads to improve contiguities of an assembly generated with PacBio long reads alone. This is counterintuitive because illumina short reads are not typically considered to cover genomic regions which PacBio long reads cannot. Although we have not evaluated this program for assemblies generated with Oxford nanopore sequences, the program should work with ONP-assemblies too.
