Carrot2 clustering engine

LEGE — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 13:11:24 -0500

This is the demo application of the Carrot² clustering engine. It uses Carrot²'s algorithms to organize search results into thematic folders.

User interfaces

Web Search Clustering organizes search results from public search engines into clusters; offers treemap- and pie-chart visualizations of the clusters.
Clustering Workbench clusters content from local files in JSON or Excel format, Solr or Elasticsearch; allows tuning of clustering parameters and exporting results as Excel or JSON.

Search engines

Web: web search results provided by etools.ch. Extensive use may require special arrangements with the owner of the etools.ch service.
PubMed: abstracts of medical papers from the PubMed database provided by NCBI.
Local file: content read from a local file in Carrot2 XML, JSON, CSV or Excel format.
Solr: queries an Apache Solr instance.
Elasticsearch: queries an Elasticsearch instance.

Clustering algorithms

Lingo: creates well-described flat clusters. Does not scale beyond a few thousand search results. Available as part of the open source Carrot² framework.
STC: the classic search results clustering algorithm. Produces flat cluster with adequate description, very fast. Available as part of the open source Carrot² framework
k-means: base line clustering algorithm, produces bag-of-words style cluster descriptions. Available as part of the open source Carrot² framework

Indicate the reliability of each aligned column.
Use sequence quality data properly.
Compare DNA to proteins, with frameshifts.
Compare PSSMs to sequences
Calculate the likelihood of chance similarities between random sequences.
Do split and spliced alignment.
Train alignment parameters for unusual kinds of sequence (e.g. nanopore).

KAST: Perform Alignment-free k-tuple frequency comparisons from sequences

Jit — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 08:56:35 -0500

Perform Alignment-free k-tuple frequency comparisons from sequences. This can be in the form of two input files (e.g. a reference and a query) or a single file for pairwise comparisons to be made.

SiLiX: implements an ultra-efficient algorithm for the clustering of homologous sequences

Jit — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 09:22:41 -0600

The software package SiLiX implements an ultra-efficient algorithm for the clustering of homologous sequences, based on single transitive links (single linkage) with alignment coverage constraints.

SiLiX adopts a graph-theoretical framework to interpret similarity pairs as edges of a network. A very efficient algorithm, based on the Disjoint Sets Data Structure, allows the computation of sequence families with low time and space requirements.

A parallel version of SiLiX, based on MPI, is also available in this package and has been proved to be scalable, so that its allows the study of very large datasets.

SiLiX is already included in the analysis pipeline for HOGENOM.

Tiara: deep learning-based classification system for eukaryotic sequences

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 23:02:11 -0500

With a large number of metagenomic datasets becoming available, eukaryotic metagenomics emerged as a new challenge. The proper classification of eukaryotic nuclear and organellar genomes is an essential step toward a better understanding of eukaryotic diversity.

GMASS: a novel measure for genomeassembly structural similarity

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 14 Apr 2019 20:35:40 -0500

The GMASS score is a novel measure for representing structural similarity between two assemblies. It will contribute to the understanding of assembly output and developing de novo assemblers.
