First step: Install & load “VennDiagram” package.

# install.packages('VennDiagram')
library(VennDiagram)

Second step: Load data

Add filepath if “catdoge.csv” is not in working-directory.

d <- read.csv("catdoge.csv")

CANU: Assembling Large Genomes with Single-Molecule Sequencing and Locality Sensitive Hashing.

Jit — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 11:38:10 -0500

Canu is a fork of the Celera Assembler designed for high-noise single-molecule sequencing (such as the PacBio RSII or Oxford Nanopore MinION). The software is currently alpha level, feel free to use and report issues encountered.

Canu is a hierachical assembly pipeline which runs in four steps:

Detect overlaps in high-noise sequences using MHAP
Generate corrected sequence consensus
Trim corrected sequences
Assemble trimmed corrected sequences

Linux Cheat Sheet

Jitendra Narayan — Tue, 09 Jul 2013 17:30:04 -0500

In an attempt to find a good Linux reference for bioinformatician and BOL readers, I was unsuccessful at finding a decent one on the Internet. So, we decided to make a cheat sheet for biological programmers.

SeqMule: Automated human exome/genome variants detection

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 10:12:36 -0600

SeqMule takes single-end or paird-end FASTQ or BAM files, generates a script consisting of more than 10 popular alignment, analysis tools and runs the script line by line. Users can change the pipeline or fine-tune the parameters by modifying its configuration file. SeqMule also has some built-in functions, such as pooling consensus calls from various callers, plotting a Venn diagram showing intersection among different callers, and downloading databases. SeqMule can be used for both Mendelian disease study and cancer genome study.

Bioinformatics: Introduction to PERL

Archana Malhotra — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 09:49:37 -0500

This course is aimed at those new to programming and provides an introduction to programming using Perl. By the end of this course, attendees should be able to write simple Perl programs and to understand more complex Perl programs written by others. The course will be taught using the online Learning Perl materials created by Sofia Robb of the University of California Riverside. Further information is available.

HTSlib

Jit — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 11:38:05 -0500

Samtools is a suite of programs for interacting with high-throughput sequencing data. It consists of three separate repositories:

Samtools: Reading/writing/editing/indexing/viewing SAM/BAM/CRAM format
BCFtools: Reading/writing BCF2/VCF/gVCF files and calling/filtering/summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants
HTSlib: A C library for reading/writing high-throughput sequencing data

Samtools and BCFtools both use HTSlib internally, but these source packages contain their own copies of htslib so they can be built independently.

gbtools: Interactive Visualization of Metagenome Bins in R

Jit — Sun, 26 Mar 2017 15:41:31 -0500

We have developed gbtools, a software package that allows users to visualize metagenomic assemblies by plotting coverage (sequencing depth) and GC values of contigs, and also to annotate the plots with taxonomic information. Different sets of annotations, including taxonomic assignments from conserved marker genes or SSU rRNA genes, can be imported simultaneously; users can choose which annotations to plot. Bins can be manually defined from plots, or be imported from third-party binning tools and overlaid onto plots, such that results from different methods can be compared side-by-side. gbtools reports summary statistics of bins including marker gene completeness, and allows the user to add or subtract bins with each other.
