Genomics is moving beyond the traditional approach of studying DNA using a single reference genome. Today, researchers are increasingly using pangenomes, which represent genetic information from multiple genomes and capture a much broader range of...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - RGFA, an implementation of the proposed GFA specification in Ruby. It allows the user to conveniently parse, edit and write GFA files. Complex operations such as the separation of the implicit instances of repeats and the merging of linear paths can...

github.com - GFA (Graphical Fragment Assembly) is an emerging standard format for representing sequence graphs. Although it was originally conceived as a format for sequence assembly (hence the name), and this remains its core application, it is more general,...

gear.embl.de - 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...

github.com - gfastats is a single fast and exhaustive tool for summary statistics and simultaneous *fa* (fasta, fastq, gfa [.gz]) genome assembly file manipulation. gfastats also allows seamless fasta<>fastq<>gfa[.gz]...

christophergandrud.github.io - Mike Bostock’s D3.js is great for creating interactive network graphs with JavaScript. The d3Network package makes it easy to create these network graphs from R. The main idea is that you should able to take...

github.com - AlfaPang constructs variation graphs, leveraging its alignment-free and reference-free approach, based solely on intrinsic sequence properties. This design allows AlfaPang's runtime and memory usage to scale linearly with the size of input...

Genetic variants discovery tool

broadinstitute.github.io - Picard is a set of command line tools for manipulating high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data and formats such as SAM/BAM/CRAM and VCF. These file formats are defined in the Hts-specs repository. See especially the SAM specification and the VCF...

bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - This is the andi program for estimating the evolutionary distance between closely related genomes. These distances can be used to rapidly infer phylogenies for big sets of genomes. Because andi does not compute full alignments, it is so efficient...
