SqueezeMeta: a fully automated metagenomics pipeline, from reads to bins

BioStar — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 05:25:10 -0500

SqueezeMeta is a full automatic pipeline for metagenomics/metatranscriptomics, covering all steps of the analysis. SqueezeMeta includes multi-metagenome support allowing the co-assembly of related metagenomes and the retrieval of individual genomes via binning procedures. Thus, SqueezeMeta features several unique characteristics:

Co-assembly procedure with read mapping for estimation of the abundances of genes in each metagenome
Co-assembly of a large number of metagenomes via merging of individual metagenomes
Includes binning and bin checking, for retrieving individual genomes
The results are stored in a database, where they can be easily exported and shared, and can be inspected anywhere using a web interface.
Internal checks for the assembly and binning steps inform about the consistency of contigs and bins, allowing to spot potential chimeras.
Metatranscriptomic support via mapping of cDNA reads against reference metagenomes

sunbeam: A robust, extensible metagenomics pipeline

Jit — Thu, 18 Jun 2020 06:58:52 -0500

Sunbeam is a pipeline written in snakemake that simplifies and automates many of the steps in metagenomic sequencing analysis. It uses conda to manage dependencies, so it doesn't have pre-existing dependencies or admin privileges, and can be deployed on most Linux workstations and clusters. To read more, check out our paper in Microbiome.

Zombies like bacteria!!!

Rahul Agarwal — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 08:44:15 -0500

Do you believe in Zombies stories … Hmm confused? Don’t worry there is a news for you. Scientists from the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program have announced the findings of the long-lived bacteria, reproducing only once every 10,000 years, which have been found in rocks 2.5km (1.5 miles) below the ocean floor that are as much as 100 million years old.

" the microbes exist in very low concentrations, of around 1,000 microbes in every tea spoon full of rock, compared with billions or trillions of bacteria that would typically be found in the same amount of soil at Earth's surface."

Fancy Oneliner for Bioinformatics !!

Poonam Mahapatra — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:05:50 -0500

This webpage lists some of the one-liners that we frequently use in metagenomic analyses. You can click on the following links to browse through different topics. You can copy/paste the commands as they are in your terminal screen, provided you follow the same naming conventions and folder structures as we have. We are sharing these codes with the intention that if they are useful and help you in your analyses, then we will be appropriately credited as considerable effort has been put into devising them.

Lorikeet: Strain resolver for metagenomics

BioStar — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 04:21:31 -0500

Lorikeet is a within-species variant analysis pipeline for metagenomic communities that utilizes both long and short reads. Lorikeet utilizes a re-implementaion of the GATK HaplotypeCaller algorithm, performing local re-assembly of potentially active regions within candidate genomes. Called variants can be clustered into likely strains using a combination of UMAP and HDBSCAN.

Bambus

Jit — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 08:09:15 -0500

Bambus 2.0, the second generation Bambus scaffolder available as an open source package. While most other scaffolders are closely tied to a specific assembly program, Bambus accepts the output from most current assemblers and provides the user with great flexibility in choosing the scaffolding parameters. In particular, Bambus is able to accept contig linking data other than specified by mate-pairs. Such sources of information include alignment to a reference genome (Bambus can directly use the output of MUMmer), physical mapping data, or information about gene synteny.

RATT

Jitendra Narayan — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 16:09:40 -0600

RATT is software to transfer annotation from a reference (annotated) genome to an unannotated query genome.

It was first developed to transfer annotations between different genome assembly versions. However, it can also transfer annotations between strains and even different species, like Plasmodium chabaudi onto P. berghei, between different Leishmania species or Salmonella enterica onto other Salmonella serotypes. RATT is able to transfer any entries present on a reference sequence, such as the systematic id or an annotator's notes; such information would be lost in a de novo annotation.
