MUMmer4: A fast and versatile genome alignment system
MUMmer4, a substantially improved version of MUMmer that addresses genome size constraints by changing the 32-bit suffix tree data structure at the core of MUMmer to a 48-bit suffix array, and that offers improved speed through parallel processing of input query sequences. With a theoretical limi...Tags: MUMmer4, fast, versatile, genome, alignment, system

Carefully opt for human reference genome
Heng Li posted several issues with the human reference genomes given in these resources and suggests the following compressed FASTA file to be used as hg38/GRCh38 human reference genome. if you map reads to GRCh38 or hg38, use the following: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCA/000/00...Tags: Carefully, opt, human, reference, genome

ARCS: scaffolding genome drafts with linked reads
ARCS, an application that utilizes the barcoding information contained in linked reads to further organize draft genomes into highly contiguous assemblies. We show how the contiguity of an ABySS H.sapiensgenome assembly can be increased over six-fold, using moderate coverage (25-fold) Chromi...Tags: ARCS, scaffolding, genome, drafts, linked, reads

G-compass: a comparative genome browser
G-compass (http://www.h-invitational.jp/g-compass/) is a comparative genome browser. It visualizes evolutionarily conserved genomic regions between human and other 12 vertebrates based on original genome alignments pursuing higher coverage (1,2). Annotations of human genes/transcripts and their o...Tags: G-compass, comparative, genome, browser, visualization

AlignGraph: algorithm for secondary de novo genome assembly guided by closely related references
AlignGraph is a software that extends and joins contigs or scaffolds by reassembling them with help provided by a reference genome of a closely related organism. Using AlignGraph AlignGraph --read1 reads_1.fa --read2 reads_2.fa --contig contigs.fa --genome genome.fa --distanceLow distanceLow --...Tags: AlignGraph, algorithm, secondary, de novo, genome, assembly, guided, references

Metassembler: merging and optimizing de novo genome assemblies
Metassembler combines multiple whole genome de novo assemblies into a combined consensus assembly using the best segments of the individual assemblies. Genome assembly projects typically run multiple algorithms in an attempt to find the single best assembly, although those assemblies often have ...Tags: Metassembler, merging, optimizing, de novo, genome, assemblies, tools

CrossMap: a program for convenient conversion of genome coordinates
CrossMap is a program for convenient conversion of genome coordinates (or annotation files) between different assemblies (such as Human hg18 (NCBI36) <> hg19 (GRCh37), Mouse mm9 (MGSCv37) <> mm10 (GRCm38)). It supports most commonly used file formats including SAM/BAM, Wiggle/BigWi...Tags: CrossMap, program, convenient, conversion, genome, coordinates
