MITOS: improved de novo metazoan mitochondrial genome annotation
Allows automatic annotation of metazoan mitochondrial genomes. MITOS is a pipeline designed to compute a consistent de novo annotation of the mitogenomic sequences. The software allows for a systematic error screening, the standardisation of gene name and gene boundary designation, anticodon labe...Tags: MITOS, improved, de novo, metazoan, mitochondrial, genome, annotation

OrthoANI: An improved algorithm and software for calculating average nucleotide identity
OAT uses OrthoANI to measure the overall similarity between two genome sequences. ANI and OrthoANI are comparable algorithms: they share the same species demarcation cut-off at 95~96% and large comparison studies have demonstrated both algorithms to produce near identical reciprocal similarities....Tags: OrthoANI, improved, algorithm, software, calculating, average, nucleotide, identity, ANI

Merfin: improved variant filtering, assembly evaluation and polishing via k-mer validation
Merfin, a k-mer based variant-filtering algorithm for improved accuracy in genotyping and genome assembly polishing. Merfin evaluates each variant based on the expected k-mer multiplicity in the reads, independently of the quality of the read alignment and variant caller’s interna...Tags: Merfin, improved, variant, filtering, assembly, evaluation, polishing, k-mer, validation
