SIMBA: a web tool for managing bacterial genome assembly generated by Ion PGM sequencing technology

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 23 May 2017 05:28:56 -0500

SIMBA, SImple Manager for Bacterial Assemblies, is a Web interface for managing assembly projects of bacterial genomes. SIMBA was created to assist bioinformaticians to assemble bacterial genomes sequenced with NextGeneration Sequencing (NGS) platforms quickly, easily and effectively. SIMBA also is open source tool, i.e., can be freely downloaded, shared and modified.

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

DAVI: Deep learning-based tool for alignment and single nucleotide variant identification

Jit — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 05:41:33 -0500

DAVI consists of models for both global and local alignment and for variant calling. We have evaluated the performance of DAVI against existing state-of-the-art tool sets and found that its accuracy and performance is comparable to existing tools used for bench-marking. We further demonstrate that while existing tools are based on data generated from a specific sequencing technology, the models proposed in DAVI are generic and can be used across different NGS technologies as well as across different species

CHSMiner: a GUI tool to identify chromosomal homologous segments

Jit — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 16:55:49 -0600

Background

The identification of chromosomal homologous segments (CHS) within and between genomes is essential for comparative genomics. Various processes including insertion/deletion and inversion could cause the degeneration of CHSs.

Results

Here we present a Java software CHSMiner that detects CHSs based on shared gene content alone. It implements fast greedy search algorithm and rigorous statistical validation, and its friendly graphical interface allows interactive visualization of the results. We tested the software on both simulated and biological realistic data and compared its performance with similar existing software and data source.

Conclusion

CHSMiner is characterized by its integrated workflow, fast speed and convenient usage. It will be useful for both experimentalists and bioinformaticians interested in the structure and evolution of genomes.

jobTree based python wrapper to run the genome simulation tool suite Evolver

Jit — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 16:26:32 -0600

evolverSimControl (eSC) can be used to simulate multi-chromosome genome evolution on an arbitrary phylogeny (Newick format). In addition to simply running evolver, eSC also automatically creates statistical summaries of the simulation as it runs including text and image files. Also included are convenience scripts to: check on a running simulation and see detailed status and logging information; extract fasta sequence files from the leaf nodes of a completed simulation; extract pairwise multiple alignment files (.maf) from leaf and branch nodes from a completed simulation and with the help of mafJoin, join them together into a single maf covering the entire simulation.

CAMSA :: a tool for Comparative Analysis and Merging of Scaffold Assemblies

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 09:10:26 -0600

CAMSA – is a tool for Comparative Analysis and Merging of Scaffold Assemblies, distributed both as a standalone software package and as Python library under the MIT license.

Main features:

works with any number of scaffold assemblies in de-novo non-progressive fashion
allows to simultaneously work with scaffold assemblies obtained from any in silico and in vitro techniques, supporting multiple existing formats via built-in converters
creates an extensive report with several comparative quality metrics (both on assembly level and on the level of individual assembly points)
constructs a merged combined scaffold assembly
provides an interactive framework for a visual comparative analysis of the given assemblies
