Alfred: BAM Statistics and Feature Counting

Jit — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 05:28:38 -0600

The easiest way to get Alfred is to download a statically linked binary from the Alfred github release page. Alternatively, you can build Alfred from source. Alfred dependencies are included as submodules so you need to do a recursive clone.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/tobiasrausch/alfred.git

cd alfred/

make all

Download mutliple fasta file from NCBI in one GO!!

Rahul Agarwal — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:13:30 -0500

if you have less time, then use three ways mentioned in bookmark link to extract/download all fasta sequences in single click given that you already have a list of GIs or accession IDs .

Alternatively, use one liner perl script:

perl -ne 'if(/^>(\S+)/){$c=$i{$1}}$c?print:chomp;$i{$_}=1 if @ARGV' GIs.txt >sequence.fasta

where GIs.txt contains a list of GIs or accession IDs.

SCALCE

Surabhi Chaudhary — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 05:09:51 -0500

SCALCE (/skeɪlz/, a.k.a. boosting Sequence Compression Algorithms using Locally ConsistentEncoding) is a tool for compressing FASTQ files. It is designed specifically for the Illumina-generated FASTQ files, but supports any valid FASTQ with consistent read lengths.

segemehl

Anjana — Tue, 10 May 2016 08:10:15 -0500

segemehl is a software to map short sequencer reads to reference genomes. Unlike other methods, segemehl is able to detect not only mismatches but also insertions and deletions. Furthermore, segemehl is not limited to a specific read length and is able to map primer- or polyadenylation contaminated reads correctly. segemehl implements a matching strategy based on enhanced suffix arrays (ESA).

cutadapt

Radha Agarkar — Fri, 13 May 2016 04:54:50 -0500

Cutadapt finds and removes adapter sequences, primers, poly-A tails and other types of unwanted sequence from your high-throughput sequencing reads.

Cleaning your data in this way is often required: Reads from small-RNA sequencing contain the 3’ sequencing adapter because the read is longer than the molecule that is sequenced. Amplicon reads start with a primer sequence. Poly-A tails are useful for pulling out RNA from your sample, but often you don’t want them to be in your reads.

Cutadapt helps with these trimming tasks by finding the adapter or primer sequences in an error-tolerant way. It can also modify and filter reads in various ways. Adapter sequences can contain IUPAC wildcard characters. Also, paired-end reads and even colorspace data is supported. If you want, you can also just demultiplex your input data, without removing adapter sequences at all.

Cutadapt comes with an extensive suite of automated tests and is available under the terms of the MIT license.

If you use cutadapt, please cite DOI:10.14806/ej.17.1.200 .

Automatic Filtering, Trimming, Error Removing and Quality Control for fastq data

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 13 Nov 2017 05:10:23 -0600

Automatic Filtering, Trimming, Error Removing and Quality Control for fastq data
AfterQC can simply go through all fastq files in a folder and then output three folders: good, bad and QC folders, which contains good reads, bad reads and the QC results of each fastq file/pair.
Currently it supports processing data from HiSeq 2000/2500/3000/4000, Nextseq 500/550, MiniSeq...and other Illumina 1.8 or newer formats

Panacus : A Counting Tool for Pangenome Graphs

Neel — Fri, 14 Jun 2024 14:42:28 -0500

panacus is a tool for calculating statistics for GFA files. It supports GFA files with P and W lines, but requires that the graph is blunt, i.e., nodes do not overlap and consequently, each link (L) points from the end of one segment (S) to the start of another.

panacus supports the following calculations:

coverage histogram
pangenome growth statistics
path-/group-resolved coverage table

EMBO Practical Course, Bioinformatics, large-scale data, at Shenzhen, China

Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:50:56 -0500

This international advanced course will provide training on bioinformatics and statistics methods for genomic research. It will give insight into how biological knowledge can be generated from high-throughput sequencing (DNA-Seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq) experiments and will illustrate how to analyze such data. The course covers both the underlying statistical and algorithmic concepts, and the practice of how to automate and code such analyses using the scripting language R.
