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.

vcfR

Archana Malhotra — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 07:38:24 -0500

Most variant calling pipelines result in files containing large quantities of variant information. The variant call format (vcf) is an increasingly popular format for this data. The format of these files and their content is discussed in the vignette ‘vcf data.’ These files are typically intended to be post-processed (i.e., filtered) as an attempt to remove false positives or otherwise problematic sites. The R package vcfR provides tools to facilitate this filtering as well as to visualize the effects of choices made during this process.

Artemis Comparison Tool (ACT)

Shruti Paniwala — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 03:54:41 -0500

ACT is a Java application for displaying pairwise comparisons between two or more DNA sequences. It can be used to identify and analyse regions of similarity and difference between genomes and to explore conservation of synteny, in the context of the entire sequences and their annotation. It can read complete EMBL, GENBANK and GFF entries or sequences in FASTA or raw format.
