OMArk: software for proteome (protein-coding gene repertoire) quality assessment

LEGE — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 15:01:20 -0600

OMArk is a software for proteome (protein-coding gene repertoire) quality assessment. It provides measures of proteome completeness, characterizes the consistency of all protein coding genes with regard to their homologs, and identifies the presence of contamination from other species. OMArk relies on the OMA orthology database, from which it exploits orthology relationships, and on the OMAmer software for fast placement of all proteins into gene families.

URMAP, an ultra-fast read mapper

Jit — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 23:03:54 -0500

URMAP, a new read mapping algorithm. URMAP is an order of magnitude faster than BWA with comparable accuracy on several validation tests. On a Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) variant calling test with 30× coverage 2×150 reads, URMAP achieves high accuracy (precision 0.998, sensitivity 0.982 and F-measure 0.990) with the strelka2 caller. However, GIAB reference variants are shown to be biased against repetitive regions which are difficult to map and may therefore pose an unrealistically easy challenge to read mappers and variant callers.
