ABACAS (Algorithm Based Automatic Contiguation of Assembled Sequences) intends to rapidly contiguate (align, order, orientate), visualize and design primers to close gaps on shotgun assembled contigs based on a reference sequence.

ABACAS uses MUMmer to find alignment positions and identify syntenies of assembled contigs against the reference. The output is then processed to generate a pseudomolecule taking overlapping contigs and gaps in to account. ABACAS generates a comparison file that can be used to visualize ordered and oriented contigs in ACT. Synteny is represented by red bars where colour intensity decreases with lower values of percent identity between comparable blocks. Information on contigs such as the orientation, percent identity, coverage and overlap with other contigs can also be visualized by loading the outputted feature file on ACT.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: abacas-examples

abPOA is an extended version of Partial Order Alignment (POA) that performs adaptive banded dynamic programming (DP) with an SIMD implementation. abPOA can perform multiple sequence alignment (MSA) on a set of input sequences and generate a consensus sequence by applying the heaviest bundling algorithm to the final alignment graph.

abPOA can generate high-quality consensus sequences from error-prone long reads and offer significant speed improvement over existing tools.

abPOA supports three alignment modes (global, local, extension) and flexible scoring schemes that allow linear, affine and convex gap penalties. It right now supports SSE2/SSE4.1/AVX2 vectorization.

For more information please refer to the paper1 published in Bioinformatics.

This program searches for and removes remnant adapter sequences from High- Throughput Sequencing (HTS) data and (optionally) trims low quality bases from the 3' end of reads following adapter removal. AdapterRemoval can analyze both single end and paired end data, and can be used to merge overlapping paired-ended reads into (longer) consensus sequences. Additionally, the AdapterRemoval may be used to recover a consensus adapter sequence for paired-ended data, for which this information is not available.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Aevol is a digital genetics model: populations of digital organisms are subjected to a process of selection and variation, which creates a Darwinian dynamics.

By modifying the characteristics of selection (e.g. population size, type of environment, environmental variations) or variation (e.g. mutation rates, chromosomal rearrangement rates, types of rearrangements, horizontal transfer), one can study experimentally the impact of these parameters on the structure of the evolved organisms. In particular, since Aevol integrates a precise and realistic model of the genome, it allows for the study of structural variations of the genome (e.g. number of genes, synteny, proportion of coding sequences).

The simulation platform comes along with a set of tools for analysing phylogenies and measuring many characteristics of the organisms and populations along evolution.

Alien_hunter is an application for the prediction of putative Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events with the implementation of Interpolated Variable Order Motifs (IVOMs). An IVOM approach exploits compositional biases using variable order motif distributions and captures more reliably the local composition of a sequence compared to fixed-order methods. Optionally the predictions can be parsed into a 2-state 2nd order Hidden Markov Model (HMM), in a change-point detection framework, to optimize the localization of the boundaries of the predicted regions. The predictions (embl format) can be automatically loaded into Artemis genome viewer freely available at: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Artemis/.

AMAP is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of peptidic sequences. It utilizes posterior decoding, and a sequence-annealing alignment, instead of the traditional progressive alignment method. It is the only alignment program that allows one to control the sensitivity / specificity tradeoff. It is based on the ProbCons source code, but uses alignment metric accuracy and eliminates the consistency transformation.

The Java visualisation tool of AMAP 2.2 is not yet packaged in Debian.

AmpliconNoise is a package of applications to clean up high-throughput sequence data. It consists of three main parts:

Pyronoise - does flowgram-based clustering to spot misreads SeqNoise - removes PCR point mutations Perseus - removes PCR chimeras without the need for a set of reference sequences

Previously there was a standalone "Pyronoise" by the same authors and this package includes an updated version. There is also a "Denoiser" in Qiime which is related but distinct.

Anfo is a mapper in the spirit of Soap/Maq/Bowtie, but its implementation takes more after BLAST/BLAT. It's most useful for the alignment of sequencing reads where the DNA sequence is somehow modified (think ancient DNA or bisulphite treatment) and/or there is more divergence between sample and reference than what fast mappers will handle gracefully (say the reference genome is missing and a related species is used instead).

Established tools like readseq and seqret from EMBOSS, both create mangled IDs containing | or . characters, and there is no way to fix this behaviour. This resultes in inconsitences between .gbk and .fna versions of files in pipelines.

This script uses only core Perl modules, has no other dependencies like Bioperl or Biopython, and runs very quickly.

It supports the following input formats:

 1. Genbank flat file, typically .gb, .gbk, .gbff (starts with LOCUS)
 2. EMBL flat file, typically .embl, (starts with ID)
 3. GFF with sequence, typically .gff, .gff3 (starts with ##gff)
 4. FASTA DNA, typically .fasta, .fa, .fna, .ffn (starts with >)
 5. FASTQ DNA, typically .fastq, .fq (starts with @)
 6. CLUSTAL alignments, typically .clw, .clu (starts with CLUSTAL or MUSCLE)
 7. STOCKHOLM alignments, typically .sth (starts with # STOCKHOLM)
 8. GFA assembly graph, typically .gfa (starts with ^[A-Z]\t)

Files may be compressed with:

 1. gzip, typically .gz
 2. bzip2, typically .bz2

ARDEN (Artificial Reference Driven Estimation of false positives in NGS data) is a novel benchmark that estimates error rates based on real experimental reads and an additionally generated artificial reference genome. It allows the computation of error rates specifically for a dataset and the construction of a ROC-curve. Thereby, it can be used to optimize parameters for read mappers, to select read mappers for a specific problem or also to filter alignments based on quality estimation.

ART is a set of simulation tools to generate synthetic next-generation sequencing reads. ART simulates sequencing reads by mimicking real sequencing process with empirical error models or quality profiles summarized from large recalibrated sequencing data. ART can also simulate reads using user own read error model or quality profiles. ART supports simulation of single-end, paired-end/mate-pair reads of three major commercial next-generation sequencing platforms: Illumina's Solexa, Roche's 454 and Applied Biosystems' SOLiD. ART can be used to test or benchmark a variety of method or tools for next-generation sequencing data analysis, including read alignment, de novo assembly, SNP and structure variation discovery. ART was used as a primary tool for the simulation study of the 1000 Genomes Project . ART is implemented in C++ with optimized algorithms and is highly efficient in read simulation. ART outputs reads in the FASTQ format, and alignments in the ALN format. ART can also generate alignments in the SAM alignment or UCSC BED file format. ART can be used together with genome variants simulators (e.g. VarSim) for evaluating variant calling tools or methods.

ArtificialFastqGenerator takes the reference genome (in FASTA format) as input and outputs artificial FASTQ files in the Sanger format. It can accept Phred base quality scores from existing FASTQ files, and use them to simulate sequencing errors. Since the artificial FASTQs are derived from the reference genome, the reference genome provides a gold-standard for calling variants (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions and deletions (indels)). This enables evaluation of a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis pipeline which aligns reads to the reference genome and then calls the variants.

atac computes a one-to-one pairwise alignment of large DNA sequences. It first finds the unique k-mers in each sequence, chains them to larger blocks, and fills in spaces between blocks. It was written primarily to transfer annotations between different assemblies of the human genome.

The output is a set of ungapped 'matches', and a set of gapped 'runs' formed from the matches. Each match or run associates one sequence with the other sequence. The association is 'unique', in that there is no other (sizeable) associations for either sequence. Thus, large repeats and duplications are not present in the output - they appear as unmapped regions.

Though the output is always pairwise, atac can cache intermediate results to speed a comparisons of multiple sequences.

This package is part of the Kmer suite.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: kmer-examples

Atropos is tool for specific, sensitive, and speedy trimming of NGS reads. It is a fork of the venerable Cutadapt read trimmer, with the primary improvements being:

  1. Multi-threading support, including an extremely fast "parallel
     write" mode.
  2. Implementation of a new insert alignment-based trimming algorithm
     for paired-end reads that is substantially more sensitive and
     specific than the original Cutadapt adapter alignment-based
     algorithm. This algorithm can also correct mismatches between the
     overlapping portions of the reads.
  3. Options for trimming specific types of data (miRNA, bisulfite-seq).
  4. A new command ('detect') that will detect adapter sequences and
     other potential contaminants.
  5. A new command ('error') that will estimate the sequencing error
     rate, which helps to select the appropriate adapter- and quality-
     trimming parameter values.
  6. A new command ('qc') that generates read statistics similar to
     FastQC. The trim command can also compute read statistics both
     before and after trimming (using the '--stats' option).
  7. Improved summary reports, including support for serialization
     formats (JSON, YAML, pickle), support for user-defined templates
     (via the optional Jinja2 dependency), and integration with MultiQC.
  8. The ability to merge overlapping reads (this is experimental and
     the functionality is limited).
  9. The ability to write the summary report and log messages to
     separate files.
 10. The ability to read SAM/BAM files and read/write interleaved
     FASTQ files.
 11. Direct trimming of reads from an SRA accession.
 12. A progress bar, and other minor usability enhancements.

AUGUSTUS is a software for gene prediction in eukaryotic genomic sequences that is based on a generalized hidden Markov model (HMM), a probabilistic model of a sequence and its gene structure. After learning gene structures from a reference annotation, AUGUSTUS uses the HMM to recognize genes in a new sequence and annotates it with the regions of identified genes. External hints, e.g. from RNA sequencing, EST or protein alignments etc. can be used to guide and improve the gene finding process. The result is the set of most likely gene structures that comply with all given user constraints, if such gene structures exist. AUGUSTUS already includes prebuilt HMMs for many species, as well as scripts to train custom models using annotated genomes.

AutoDock is a prime representative of the programs addressing the simulation of the docking of fairly small chemical ligands to rather big protein receptors. Earlier versions had all flexibility in the ligands while the protein was kept rather ridgid. This latest version 4 also allows for a flexibility of selected sidechains of surface residues, i.e., takes the rotamers into account.

The AutoDock program performs the docking of the ligand to a set of grids describing the target protein. AutoGrid pre-calculates these grids.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: autogrid

BaitFisher was been designed to construct hybrid enrichment baits from multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) or annotated features in MSAs. The main goal of BaitFisher is to avoid redundancy in the construction of baits by designing fewer baits in conserved regions of the MSAs and designing more baits in variable regions. This makes use of the fact that hybrid enrichment baits can differ to some extends from the target region, which they should capture in the enrichment procedure. By specifying the allowed distance between baits and the sequences in the MSAs the user can control the allowed bait-to-target distance and the degree of reduction in the number of baits that are designed. See the BaitFisher paper for details.

BaitFilter was designed (i) to determine whether baits bind unspecifically to a reference genome, (ii) to filter baits that only have partial length matches to a reference genome, (iii) to determine the optimal bait region in a MSA and to convert baits to a format that can be uploaded at a bait constructing company. The optimal bait region can be the most conserved region in the MSA or the region with the highest number of sequences without gaps or ambiguous nucleotides.

BAli-Phy estimates multiple sequence alignments and evolutionary trees from unaligned DNA, amino acid, or codon sequences. BAli-Phy uses MCMC to estimate evolutionary trees, positive selection, and branch lengths while averaging over alternative alignments. BAli-Phy can display alignment ambiguity graphically in an alignment uncertainty (AU) plot.

BAli-Phy can also estimate phylogenies from a fixed alignment (like MrBayes and BEAST) using substitution models like GTR+gamma. BAli-Phy automatically estimates relative rates for each gene.

BamTools facilitates research analysis and data management using BAM files. It copes with the enormous amount of data produced by current sequencing technologies that is typically stored in compressed, binary formats that are not easily handled by the text-based parsers commonly used in bioinformatics research.

BamTools provides both a C++ API for BAM file support as well as a command-line toolkit.

This is the bamtools command-line toolkit.

Available bamtools commands:

 convert  Converts between BAM and a number of other formats
 count    Prints number of alignments in BAM file(s)
 coverage Prints coverage statistics from the input BAM file
 filter   Filters BAM file(s) by user-specified criteria
 header   Prints BAM header information
 index    Generates index for BAM file
 merge    Merge multiple BAM files into single file
 random   Select random alignments from existing BAM file(s), intended more
          as a testing tool.
 resolve  Resolves paired-end reads (marking the IsProperPair flag as needed)
 revert   Removes duplicate marks and restores original base qualities
 sort     Sorts the BAM file according to some criteria
 split    Splits a BAM file on user-specified property, creating a new BAM
          output file for each value found
 stats    Prints some basic statistics from input BAM file(s)
The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Bandage is a GUI program that allows users to interact with the assembly graphs made by de novo assemblers such as Velvet, SPAdes, MEGAHIT and others.

De novo assembly graphs contain not only assembled contigs but also the connections between those contigs, which were previously not easily accessible. Bandage visualises assembly graphs, with connections, using graph layout algorithms. Nodes in the drawn graph, which represent contigs, can be automatically labelled with their ID, length or depth. Users can interact with the graph by moving, labelling and colouring nodes. Sequence information can also be extracted directly from the graph viewer. By displaying connections between contigs, Bandage opens up new possibilities for analysing and improving de novo assemblies that are not possible by looking at contigs alone.

More information and download links are on the Bandage website: rrwick.github.io/Bandage

The package is relevant to the field of genome assembly.

Barrnap (BAsic Rapid Ribosomal RNA Predictor) predicts the location of ribosomal RNA genes in genomes. It supports bacteria (5S,23S,16S), archaea (5S,5.8S,23S,16S), mitochondria (12S,16S) and eukaryotes (5S,5.8S,28S,18S).

It takes FASTA DNA sequence as input, and writes GFF3 as output. It uses the NHMMER tool that comes with HMMER 3.1 for HMM searching in RNA:DNA style. Multithreading is supported and one can expect roughly linear speed-ups with more CPUs.

The BBTools are a collection of small programs to solve recurrent tasks for the creative handling of short biological RNA/DNA sequences. This suite may be best known for its mapper, which is also the name of the project on sourceforge, but several tools have been added over time. All tools are multi-threaded, implemented platform-independently in Java:

BBMap: Short read aligner for DNA and RNA-seq data. Capable of handling arbitrarily large genomes with millions of scaffolds. Handles Illumina, PacBio, 454, and other reads; very high sensitivity and tolerant of errors and numerous large indels.

BBNorm: Kmer-based error-correction and normalization tool.

Dedupe: Simplifies assemblies by removing duplicate or contained subsequences that share a target percent identity.

Reformat: Reformats reads between fasta/fastq/scarf/fasta+qual/sam, interleaved/paired, and ASCII-33/64, at over 500 MB/s.

BBDuk: Filters, trims, or masks reads with kmer matches to an artifact/contaminant file.

BEAST is a cross-platform program for Bayesian MCMC analysis of molecular sequences. It is entirely orientated towards rooted, time-measured phylogenies inferred using strict or relaxed molecular clock models. It can be used as a method of reconstructing phylogenies but is also a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses without conditioning on a single tree topology. BEAST uses MCMC to average over tree space, so that each tree is weighted proportional to its posterior probability. Included is a simple to use user-interface program for setting up standard analyses and a suit of programs for analysing the results.

The BEDTools utilities allow one to address common genomics tasks such as finding feature overlaps and computing coverage. The utilities are largely based on four widely-used file formats: BED, GFF/GTF, VCF, and SAM/BAM. Using BEDTools, one can develop sophisticated pipelines that answer complicated research questions by streaming several BEDTools together.

The groupBy utility is distributed in the filo package.

eXpress is a streaming tool for quantifying the abundances of a set of target sequences from sampled subsequences. Example applications include transcript-level RNA-Seq quantification, allele-specific/haplotype expression analysis (from RNA-Seq), transcription factor binding quantification in ChIP-Seq, and analysis of metagenomic data. It is based on an online-EM algorithm that results in space (memory) requirements proportional to the total size of the target sequences and time requirements that are proportional to the number of sampled fragments. Thus, in applications such as RNA-Seq, eXpress can accurately quantify much larger samples than other currently available tools greatly reducing computing infrastructure requirements. eXpress can be used to build lightweight high-throughput sequencing processing pipelines when coupled with a streaming aligner (such as Bowtie), as output can be piped directly into eXpress, effectively eliminating the need to store read alignments in memory or on disk.

In an analysis of the performance of eXpress for RNA-Seq data, it was observed that this efficiency does not come at a cost of accuracy. eXpress is more accurate than other available tools, even when limited to smaller datasets that do not require such efficiency. Moreover, like the Cufflinks program, eXpress can be used to estimate transcript abundances in multi-isoform genes. eXpress is also able to resolve multi-mappings of reads across gene families, and does not require a reference genome so that it can be used in conjunction with de novo assemblers such as Trinity, Oases, or Trans-ABySS. The underlying model is based on previously described probabilistic models developed for RNA-Seq but is applicable to other settings where target sequences are sampled, and includes parameters for fragment length distributions, errors in reads, and sequence-specific fragment bias.

eXpress can be used to resolve ambiguous mappings in other high-throughput sequencing based applications. The only required inputs to eXpress are a set of target sequences and a set of sequenced fragments multiply-aligned to them. While these target sequences will often be gene isoforms, they need not be. Haplotypes can be used as the reference for allele-specific expression analysis, binding regions for ChIP-Seq, or target genomes in metagenomics experiments. eXpress is useful in any analysis where reads multi-map to sequences that differ in abundance.

Eagle estimates haplotype phase either within a genotyped cohort or using a phased reference panel. The basic idea of the Eagle1 algorithm is to harness identity-by-descent among distant relatives—which is pervasive at very large sample sizes but rare among smaller numbers of samples—to rapidly call phase using a fast scoring approach. In contrast, the Eagle2 algorithm analyzes a full probabilistic model similar to the diploid Li-Stephens model used by previous HMM-based methods.

Efficient tool for clustering and assembling short reads, especially for RAD.

Rainbow is developed to provide an ultra-fast and memory-efficient solution to clustering and assembling short reads produced by RAD-seq. First, Rainbow clusters reads using a spaced seed method. Then, Rainbow implements a heterozygote calling like strategy to divide potential groups into haplotypes in a top-down manner. long a guided tree, it iteratively merges sibling leaves in a bottom-up manner if they are similar enough. Here, the similarity is defined by comparing the 2nd reads of a RAD segment. This approach tries to collapse heterozygote while discriminate repetitive sequences. At last, Rainbow uses a greedy algorithm to locally assemble merged reads into contigs. Rainbow not only outputs the optimal but also suboptimal assembly results. Based on simulation and a real guppy RAD-seq data, it is shown that Rainbow is more competent than the other tools in dealing with RAD-seq data.

BitSeq is an application for inferring expression levels of individual transcripts from sequencing (RNA-Seq) data and estimating differential expression (DE) between conditions. An advantage of this approach is the ability to account for both technical uncertainty and intrinsic biological variance in order to avoid false DE calls. The technical contribution to the uncertainty comes both from finite read-depth and the possibly ambiguous mapping of reads to multiple transcripts.

The BOLT-LMM software package currently consists of two main algorithms, the BOLT-LMM algorithm for mixed model association testing, and the BOLT-REML algorithm for variance components analysis (i.e., partitioning of SNP-heritability and estimation of genetic correlations).

The BOLT-LMM algorithm computes statistics for testing association between phenotype and genotypes using a linear mixed model. By default, BOLT-LMM assumes a Bayesian mixture-of-normals prior for the random effect attributed to SNPs other than the one being tested. This model generalizes the standard infinitesimal mixed model used by previous mixed model association methods, providing an opportunity for increased power to detect associations while controlling false positives. Additionally, BOLT-LMM applies algorithmic advances to compute mixed model association statistics much faster than eigendecomposition-based methods, both when using the Bayesian mixture model and when specialized to standard mixed model association.

The BOLT-REML algorithm estimates heritability explained by genotyped SNPs and genetic correlations among multiple traits measured on the same set of individuals. BOLT-REML applies variance components analysis to perform these tasks, supporting both multi-component modeling to partition SNP-heritability and multi-trait modeling to estimate correlations. BOLT-REML applies a Monte Carlo algorithm that is much faster than eigendecomposition-based methods for variance components analysis at large sample sizes.

This package addresses the problem to interpret the results from the latest (2010) DNA sequencing technologies. Those will yield fairly short stretches and those cannot be interpreted directly. It is the challenge for tools like Bowtie to give a chromosomal location to the short stretches of DNA sequenced per run.

Bowtie aligns short DNA sequences (reads) to the human genome at a rate of over 25 million 35-bp reads per hour. Bowtie indexes the genome with a Burrows-Wheeler index to keep its memory footprint small: typically about 2.2 GB for the human genome (2.9 GB for paired-end).

Boxshade is a program for creating good looking printouts from multiple-aligned protein or DNA sequences. The program does not perform the alignment by itself and requires as input a file that was created by a multiple alignment program or manually edited with respective tools.

Boxshade reads multiple-aligned sequences from either PILEUP-MSF, CLUSTAL-ALN, MALIGNED-data and ESEE-save files (limited to a maximum of 150 sequences with up to 10000 elements each). Various kinds of shading can be applied to identical/similar residues. Output is written to screen or to a file in the following formats: ANSI/VT100, PS/EPS, RTF, HPGL, ReGIS, LJ250-printer, ASCII, xFIG, PICT, HTML

The Bio++ Program Suite is a package of programs using the Bio++ libraries and dedicated to Phylogenetics and Molecular Evolution. All programs are independent, but can be combined to perform rather complex analyses. These programs use the interface helper tools of the libraries, and hence share the same syntax. They also have several options in common, which may also be shared by third-party software.

The following programs are included:

  • BppML for maximum likelihood analysis,
  • BppSeqGen for sequences simulation,
  • BppAncestor for ancestral states reconstruction,
  • BppDist for distance methods,
  • BppPars for parsimony analysis,
  • BppSeqMan for file conversion and sequence manipulation,
  • BppConsense for building consensus tree and computing bootstrap values,
  • BppReRoot for tree rerooting.
  • BppTreeDraw for tree drawing.
  • BppAlnScore for comparing alignments and computing alignment scores.
  • BppMixedLikelihoods for computing site per site likelihoods of components of mixture models.
  • BppPopGen for population genetics analyses.
The package is enhanced by the following packages: bppsuite-examples

BRIG can display circular comparisons between a large number of genomes, with a focus on handling genome assembly data.

  • Images show similarity between a central reference sequence and other sequences as concentric rings.
  • BRIG will perform all BLAST comparisons and file parsing automatically via a simple GUI.
  • Contig boundaries and read coverage can be displayed for draft genomes; customized graphs and annotations can be displayed.
  • Using a user-defined set of genes as input, BRIG can display gene presence, absence, truncation or sequence variation in a set of complete genomes, draft genomes or even raw, unassembled sequence data.
  • BRIG also accepts SAM-formatted read-mapping files enabling genomic regions present in unassembled sequence data from multiple samples to be compared simultaneously

BWA is a software package for mapping low-divergent sequences against a large reference genome, such as the human genome. It consists of three algorithms: BWA-backtrack, BWA-SW and BWA-MEM. The first algorithm is designed for Illumina sequence reads up to 100bp, while the rest two for longer sequences ranged from 70bp to 1Mbp. BWA-MEM and BWA-SW share similar features such as long-read support and split alignment, but BWA-MEM, which is the latest, is generally recommended for high-quality queries as it is faster and more accurate. BWA-MEM also has better performance than BWA-backtrack for 70-100bp Illumina reads.

Contig Annotation Tool (CAT) and Bin Annotation Tool (BAT) are pipelines for the taxonomic classification of long DNA sequences and metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs/bins) of both known and (highly) unknown microorganisms, as generated by contemporary metagenomics studies. The core algorithm of both programs involves gene calling, mapping of predicted ORFs against the nr protein database, and voting-based classification of the entire contig / MAG based on classification of the individual ORFs. CAT and BAT can be run from intermediate steps if files are formatted appropriately.

The CGView Comparison Tool (CCT) is a package for visually comparing bacterial, plasmid, chloroplast, or mitochondrial sequences of interest to existing genomes or sequence collections. The comparisons are conducted using BLAST, and the BLAST results are presented in the form of graphical maps that can also show sequence features, gene and protein names, COG category assignments, and sequence composition characteristics. CCT can generate maps in a variety of sizes, including 400 Megapixel maps suitable for posters. Comparisons can be conducted within a particular species or genus, or all available genomes can be used. The entire map creation process, from downloading sequences to redrawing zoomed maps, can be completed easily using scripts included with the CCT. User-defined features or analysis results can be included on maps, and maps can be extensively customized. To simplify program setup, a CCT virtual machine that includes all dependencies preinstalled is available. Detailed tutorials illustrating the use of CCT are included with the CCT documentation.

Centrifuge is a very rapid and memory-efficient system for the classification of DNA sequences from microbial samples, with better sensitivity than and comparable accuracy to other leading systems. The system uses a novel indexing scheme based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) and the Ferragina-Manzini (FM) index, optimized specifically for the metagenomic classification problem. Centrifuge requires a relatively small index (e.g., 4.3 GB for ~4,100 bacterial genomes) yet provides very fast classification speed, allowing it to process a typical DNA sequencing run within an hour. Together these advances enable timely and accurate analysis of large metagenomics data sets on conventional desktop computers.

CGView is a Java package for generating high quality, zoomable maps of circular genomes. Its primary purpose is to serve as a component of sequence annotation pipelines, as a means of generating visual output suitable for the web. Feature information and rendering options are supplied to the program using an XML file, a tab delimited file, or an NCBI ptt file. CGView converts the input into a graphical map (PNG, JPG, or Scalable Vector Graphics format), complete with labels, a title, legends, and footnotes. In addition to the default full view map, the program can generate a series of hyperlinked maps showing expanded views. The linked maps can be explored using any web browser, allowing rapid genome browsing, and facilitating data sharing. The feature labels in maps can be hyperlinked to external resources, allowing CGView maps to be integrated with existing web site content or databases.

In addition to the CGView application, an API is available for generating maps from within other Java applications, using the cgview package.

CGView can be used for any of the following:

  • Bacterial genome visualization and browsing - CGView can be incorporated into bacterial genome annotation pipelines, as a means of generating web content for data visualization and navigation. The PNG and image map content does not require Java applets or special browser plugins.
  • Genome poster generation - CGView can generate poster-sized images of circular genomes in rasterized image formats or in Scalable Vector Graphics format.
  • Sequence analysis visualization - CGView can be used to display the output of sequence analysis programs in a circular context.

CGView features:

  • Images can be generated in PNG, JPG, or SVG format. See the CGView gallery.
  • Static or interactive maps can be generated. The interactive maps make use of standard PNG images and HTML image maps. Scalable Vector Graphics output is included in the interactive maps (see example).
  • The XML input allows complete control over the appearance of the map.
  • Tab delimited input files and NCBI ptt files can be used as an alternative to the XML format.
  • The CGView API can be used to incorporate CGView into Java applications.
  • The CGView applet can be used to incorporate zoomable maps into web pages (see example).
  • The CGView Server can be used to generate maps online.

ChimeraSlayer is a chimeric sequence detection utility, compatible with near-full length Sanger sequences and shorter 454-FLX sequences (~500bp).

Chimera Slayer involves the following series of steps that operate to flag chimeric 16S rRNA sequences:

 1. the ends of a query sequence are searched against an included
    database of reference chimera-free 16S sequences to identify potential
    parents of a chimera
 2. candidate parents of a chimera are selected as those that form a
    branched best scoring alignment to the NAST-formatted query sequence
 3. the NAST alignment of the query sequence is improved in a
    ‘chimera-aware’ profile-based NAST realignment to the selected
    reference parent sequences
 4. an evolutionary framework is used to flag query sequences found to
    exhibit greater sequence homology to an in silico chimera formed
    between any two of the selected reference parent sequences.

To run Chimera Slayer, you need NAST-formatted sequences generated by the nast-ier utility.

ChimeraSlayer is part of the microbiomeutil suite.

ChromHMM is software for learning and characterizing chromatin states. ChromHMM can integrate multiple chromatin datasets such as ChIP-seq data of various histone modifications to discover de novo the major re-occuring combinatorial and spatial patterns of marks. ChromHMM is based on a multivariate Hidden Markov Model that explicitly models the presence or absence of each chromatin mark. The resulting model can then be used to systematically annotate a genome in one or more cell types. By automatically computing state enrichments for large-scale functional and annotation datasets ChromHMM facilitates the biological characterization of each state. ChromHMM also produces files with genome-wide maps of chromatin state annotations that can be directly visualized in a genome browser.

ChromImpute takes an existing compendium of epigenomic data and uses it to predict signal tracks for mark-sample combinations not experimentally mapped or to generate a potentially more robust version of data sets that have been mapped experimentally. ChromImpute bases its predictions on features from signal tracks of other marks that have been mapped in the target sample and the target mark in other samples with these features combined using an ensemble of regression trees.

This package contains a suite of tools for the manipulation of mmCIF files.

The structure of macro molecules is nowadays recorded in mmCIF files. Until recently however the ancient PDB file format was used by many programs but that format has since long been deprecated.

This package provides two tools, pdb2cif and cif2pdb, that can convert files from one format into the other, provided that data fits of course.

Other tools are cif-validate, cif-grep, cif-diff, cif-merge and mmCQL. The latter can be used to manipulate an mmCIF file as if it were a SQL like database using SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE commands.

This package depends on libcifpp.

ClonalFrame identifies the clonal relationships between the members of a sample, while also estimating the chromosomal position of homologous recombination events that have disrupted the clonal inheritance.

ClonalFrame can be applied to any kind of sequence data, from a single fragment of DNA to whole genomes. It is well suited for the analysis of MLST data, where 7 gene fragments have been sequenced, but becomes progressively more powerful as the sequenced regions increase in length and number up to whole genomes. However, it requires the sequences to be aligned. If you have genomic data that is not aligned, it is recommend to use Mauve which produces alignment of whole bacterial genomes in exactly the format required for analysis with ClonalFrame.

ClonalFrameML is a software package that performs efficient inference of recombination in bacterial genomes. ClonalFrameML was created by Xavier Didelot and Daniel Wilson. ClonalFrameML can be applied to any type of aligned sequence data, but is especially aimed at analysis of whole genome sequences. It is able to compare hundreds of whole genomes in a matter of hours on a standard Desktop computer. There are three main outputs from a run of ClonalFrameML: a phylogeny with branch lengths corrected to account for recombination, an estimation of the key parameters of the recombination process, and a genomic map of where recombination took place for each branch of the phylogeny.

ClonalFrameML is a maximum likelihood implementation of the Bayesian software ClonalFrame which was previously described by Didelot and Falush (2007). The recombination model underpinning ClonalFrameML is exactly the same as for ClonalFrame, but this new implementation is a lot faster, is able to deal with much larger genomic dataset, and does not suffer from MCMC convergence issues

Bacteria, unlike us, can reproduce on their own. They do however have mechanisms that transfer DNA between organisms, a process more formally known as recombination. The mechanisms by which recombination takes place have been studied extensively in the laboratory but much remains to be understood concerning how, when and where recombination takes place within natural populations of bacteria and how it helps them to adapt to new environments. ClonalOrigin performs a comparative analysis of the sequences of a sample of bacterial genomes in order to reconstruct the recombination events that have taken place in their ancestry.

This program performs an alignment of multiple nucleotide or amino acid sequences. It recognizes the format of input sequences and whether the sequences are nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) or amino acid (proteins). The output format may be selected from in various formats for multiple alignments such as Phylip or FASTA. Clustal W is very well accepted.

The output of Clustal W can be edited manually but preferably with an alignment editor like SeaView or within its companion Clustal X. When building a model from your alignment, this can be applied for improved database searches. The Debian package hmmer creates such in form of an HMM.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: clustalw-mpi

This package offers a GUI interface for the Clustal multiple sequence alignment program. It provides an integrated environment for performing multiple sequence- and profile-alignments to analyse the results. The sequence alignment is displayed in a window on the screen. A versatile coloring scheme has been incorporated to highlight conserved features in the alignment. For professional presentations, one should use the texshade LaTeX package or boxshade.

The pull-down menus at the top of the window allow you to select all the options required for traditional multiple sequence and profile alignment. You can cut-and-paste sequences to change the order of the alignment; you can select a subset of sequences to be aligned; you can select a sub-range of the alignment to be realigned and inserted back into the original alignment.

An alignment quality analysis can be performed and low-scoring segments or exceptional residues can be highlighted.

CodonW is a package for codon usage analysis. It was designed to simplify Multivariate Analysis (MVA) of codon usage. The MVA method employed in CodonW is correspondence analysis (COA) (the most popular MVA method for codon usage analysis). CodonW can generate a COA for codon usage, relative synonymous codon usage or amino acid usage. Additional analyses of codon usage include investigation of optimal codons, codon and dinucleotide bias, and/or base composition. CodonW analyses sequences encoded by genetic codes other than the universal code.

ConCavity predicts protein ligand binding sites by combining evolutionary sequence conservation and 3D structure.

ConCavity takes as input a PDB format protein structure and optionally files that characterize the evolutionary sequence conservation of the chains in the structure file.

The following result files are produced by default:

  • Residue ligand binding predictions for each chain (*.scores).
  • Residue ligand binding predictions in a PDB format file (residue scores placed in the temp. factor field, *_residue.pdb).
  • Pocket prediction locations in a DX format file (*.dx).
  • PyMOL script to visualize the predictions (*.pml).
The package is enhanced by the following packages: conservation-code

This package provides score_conservation(1), a tool to score protein sequence conservation.

The following conservation scoring methods are implemented:

  • sum of pairs
  • weighted sum of pairs
  • Shannon entropy
  • Shannon entropy with property groupings (Mirny and Shakhnovich 1995, Valdar and Thornton 2001)
  • relative entropy with property groupings (Williamson 1995)
  • von Neumann entropy (Caffrey et al 2004)
  • relative entropy (Samudrala and Wang 2006)
  • Jensen-Shannon divergence (Capra and Singh 2007)

A window-based extension that incorporates the estimated conservation of sequentially adjacent residues into the score for each column is also given. This window approach can be applied to any of the conservation scoring methods.

The program accepts alignments in the CLUSTAL and FASTA formats.

The sequence-specific output can be used as the conservation input for concavity.

Conservation is highly predictive in identifying catalytic sites and residues near bound ligands.

CRAC is a tool to analyze High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) data in comparison to a reference genome. It is intended for transcriptomic and genomic sequencing reads. More precisely, with transcriptomic reads as input, it predicts point mutations, indels, splice junction, and chimeric RNAs (ie, non colinear splice junctions). CRAC can also output positions and nature of sequence error that it detects in the reads. CRAC uses a genome index. This index must be computed before running the read analysis. For this sake, use the command "crac-index" on your genome files. You can then process the reads using the command crac. See the man page of CRAC (help file) by typing "man crac". CRAC requires large amount of main memory on your computer. For processing against the Human genome, say 50 million reads of 100 nucleotide each, CRAC requires about 40 gigabytes of main memory. Check whether the system of your computing server is equipped with sufficient amount of memory before launching an analysis.

Long-read sequencing enables the comprehensive discovery of structural variations (SVs). However, it is still non-trivial to achieve high sensitivity and performance simultaneously due to the complex SV characteristics implied by noisy long reads.

cuteSV is a sensitive, fast and scalable long-read-based SV detection approach. cuteSV uses tailored methods to collect the signatures of various types of SVs and employs a clustering-and-refinement method to analyze the signatures to implement sensitive SV detection. Benchmarks on real Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) datasets demonstrate that cuteSV has better yields and scalability than state-of-the-art tools.

Recognised as the Damapper Library, this is a long read to reference genome mapping command line tool.

For a given reference database 'X' and read block 'Y', damapper produces the single file 'Y.X.las'. Each output file is sorted in order of the A-reads, and if a match is a chain of local alignments, then the LA's in the chain occur in increasing order of A-coordinates.

HPC.damapper writes a UNIX shell script to the standard output that maps every read in blocks to of database to a reference sequence . If is missing then only the single block is mapped, and if is also missing then all blocks of the database are mapped.

This package contains the damapper and HPC.damapper binaries.

DNA Assembly with Gaps (Dawg) is an application designed to simulate the evolution of recombinant DNA sequences in continuous time based on the robust general time reversible model with gamma and invariant rate heterogeneity and a novel length-dependent model of gap formation. The application accepts phylogenies in Newick format and can return the sequence of any node, allowing for the exact evolutionary history to be recorded at the discretion of users. Dawg records the gap history of every lineage to produce the true alignment in the output. Many options are available to allow users to customize their simulations and results.

To facilitate the multiple phases of the dazzler assembler, all the read data is organized into what is effectively a database of the reads and their meta-information. The design goals for this data base are as follows:

  • The database stores the source Pacbio read information in such a way that it can re-create the original input data, thus permitting a user to remove the (effectively redundant) source files. This avoids duplicating the same data, once in the source file and once in the database.
  • The data base can be built up incrementally, that is new sequence data can be added to the data base over time.
  • The data base flexibly allows one to store any meta-data desired for reads. This is accomplished with the concept of tracks that implementors can add as they need them.
  • The data is held in a compressed form equivalent to the .dexta and .dexqv files of the data extraction module. Both the .fasta and .quiva information for each read is held in the data base and can be recreated from it. The .quiva information can be added separately and later on if desired.
  • To facilitate job parallel, cluster operation of the phases of the assembler, the database has a concept of a current partitioning in which all the reads that are over a given length and optionally unique to a well, are divided up into blocks containing roughly a given number of bases, except possibly the last block which may have a short count. Often programs can be run on blocks or pairs of blocks and each such job is reasonably well balanced as the blocks are all the same size. One must be careful about changing the partition during an assembly as doing so can void the structural validity of any interim block-based results.

Deblur is a greedy deconvolution algorithm for amplicon sequencing based on Illumina Miseq/Hiseq error profiles. The authors recommend using Deblur via the QIIME2 plugin q2-deblur. Examples of its use can be found within the plugin itself. However, Deblur itself does not depend on QIIME2.

The input to Deblur workflow is a directory of FASTA or FASTQ files (1 per sample) or a single demultiplexed FASTA or FASTQ file. These files can be gzip'd. The output directory will contain three BIOM tables in which the observation IDs are the Deblurred sequences. The outputs are contingent on the reference databases used and a more focused discussion on them is in the subsequent README section titled "Positive and Negative Filtering." The output files are as follows:

  • reference-hit.biom : contains only Deblurred reads matching the positive filtering database. By default, a reference composed of 16S sequences is used, and this resulting table will contain only those reads which recruit at a coarse level to it will be retained. Reads are also filtered against the negative reference, which by default will remove any read which appears to be PhiX or adapter.

  • reference-hit.seqs.fa : a fasta file containing all the sequences in reference-hit.biom

  • reference-non-hit.biom : contains only Deblurred reads that did not align to the positive filtering database. Negative filtering is also appied to this table, so by default, PhiX and adapter are removed.

  • reference-non-hit.seqs.fa : a fasta file containing all the sequences in reference-non-hit.biom

  • all.biom : contains all Deblurred reads. This file represents the union of the "reference-hit.biom" and "reference-non-hit.biom" tables.

  • all.seqs.fa : a fasta file containing all the sequences in all.biom

Deblur uses two types of filtering on the sequences:

  • Negative mode - removes known artifact sequences (i.e. sequences aligning to PhiX or Adapter with >=95% identity and coverage).

  • Positive mode - keeps only sequences similar to a reference database (by default known 16S sequences). SortMeRNA is used, and any sequence with an e-value <= 10 is retained. Deblur also outputs a BIOM table without this positive filtering step (named all.biom).

The FASTA files for both of these filtering steps can be supplied via the --neg-ref-fp and --pos-ref-fp options. By default, the negative database is composed of PhiX and adapter sequence and the positive database of known 16S sequences.

Deblur uses negative mode filtering to remove known artifact (i.e. PhiX and Adapter sequences) prior to denoising. The output of Deblur contains three files: all.biom, which includes all sOTUs, reference-hit.biom, which contains the output of positive filtering of the sOTUs (default only sOTUs similar to 16S sequences), and reference-non-hit.biom, which contains only sOTUs failing the positive filtering (default only non-16S sOTUs).

The program density-fitness calculates electron density metrics, for main- (includes Cβ atom) and side-chain atoms of individual residues.

For this calculation, the program uses the structure model in either PDB or mmCIF format and the electron density from the 2mFo-DFc and mFo-DFc maps. If these maps are not readily available, the MTZ file and model can be used to calculate maps clipper. Density-fitness support both X-ray and electron diffraction data.

This program is essentially a reimplementation of edstats, a program available from the CCP4 suite. However, the output now contains only the RSR, SRSR and RSCC fields as in edstats with the addition of EDIAm and OPIA and no longer requires pre-calculated map coefficients.

Dextractor commands allow one to pull exactly and only the information needed for assembly and reconstruction from the source HDF5 files produced by the PacBio RS II sequencer, or from the source BAM files produced by the PacBio Sequel sequencer.

For each of the three extracted file types -- fasta, quiva, and arrow -- the library contains commands to compress the given file type, and to decompress it, which is a reversible process delivering the original uncompressed file. The compressed .fasta files, with the extension .dexta, consume 1/4 byte per base. The compressed .quiva files, with the extension .dexqv, consume 1.5 bytes per base on average, and the compressed .arrow files, with the extension .dexar, consume 1/4 byte per base

DIALIGN2 is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of protein or DNA sequences. It constructs alignments from gapfree pairs of similar segments of the sequences. This scoring scheme for alignments is the basic difference between DIALIGN and other global or local alignment methods. Note that DIALIGN does not employ any kind of gap penalty.

DIALIGN-TX is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of protein or DNA sequences. It is a complete reimplementation of the segment-base approach including several new improvements and heuristics that significantly enhance the quality of the output alignments compared to DIALIGN 2.2 and DIALIGN-T. For pairwise alignment, DIALIGN-TX uses a fragment-chaining algorithm that favours chains of low-scoring local alignments over isolated high-scoring fragments. For multiple alignment, DIALIGN-TX uses an improved greedy procedure that is less sensitive to spurious local sequence similarities.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: dialign-tx-data

Software discoSnp is designed for discovering Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) from raw set(s) of reads obtained with Next Generation Sequencers (NGS).

Note that number of input read sets is not constrained, it can be one, two, or more. Note also that no other data as reference genome or annotations are needed.

The software is composed by two modules. First module, kissnp2, detects SNPs from read sets. A second module, kissreads, enhance the kissnp2 results by computing per read set and for each found SNP:

 1) its mean read coverage
 2) the (phred) quality of reads generating the polymorphism.

This program is superseded by DiscoSnp++.

'disulfinder' is for predicting the disulfide bonding state of cysteines and their disulfide connectivity starting from sequence alone. Disulfide bridges play a major role in the stabilization of the folding process for several proteins. Prediction of disulfide bridges from sequence alone is therefore useful for the study of structural and functional properties of specific proteins. In addition, knowledge about the disulfide bonding state of cysteines may help the experimental structure determination process and may be useful in other genomic annotation tasks.

'disulfinder' predicts disulfide patterns in two computational stages: (1) the disulfide bonding state of each cysteine is predicted by a BRNN-SVM binary classifier; (2) cysteines that are known to participate in the formation of bridges are paired by a Recursive Neural Network to obtain a connectivity pattern.

dnaclust is a tool for clustering large number of short DNA sequences. The clusters are created in such a way that the "radius" of each clusters is no more than the specified threshold.

The input sequences to be clustered should be in Fasta format. The id of each sequence is based on the first word of the seqeunce in the Fasta format. The first word is the prefix of the header up to the first occurrence of white space characters in the header.

Dotter is a graphical dot-matrix program for detailed comparison of two sequences.

  • Every residue in one sequence is compared to every residue in the other, and a matrix of scores is calculated.
  • One sequence is plotted on the x-axis and the other on the y-axis.
  • Noise is filtered out so that alignments appear as diagonal lines.
  • Pairwise scores are averaged over a sliding window to make the score matrix more intelligible.
  • The averaged score matrix forms a three-dimensional landscape, with the two sequences in two dimensions and the height of the peaks in the third. This landscape is projected onto two dimensions using a grey-scale image - the darker grey of a peak, the higher the score is.
  • The contrast and threshold of the grey-scale image can be adjusted interactively, without having to recalculate the score matrix.
  • An Alignment Tool is provided to examine the sequence alignment that the grey-scale image represents.
  • Known high-scoring pairs can be loaded from a GFF file and overlaid onto the plot.
  • Gene models can be loaded from GFF and displayed alongside the relevant axis.
  • Compare a sequence against itself to find internal repeats.
  • Find overlaps between multiple sequences by making a dot-plot of all sequences versus themselves.
  • Run Dotter in batch mode to create large, time-consuming dot-plots as a background process.

E-MEM enables efficient computation of Maximal Exact Matches (MEMs) that does not use full text indexes. The algorithm uses much less space and is highly amenable to parallelization. It can compute all MEMs of minimum length 100 between the whole human and mouse genomes on a 12 core machine in 10 min and 2 GB of memory; the required memory can be as low as 600 MB. It can run efficiently genomes of any size. Extensive testing and comparison with currently best algorithms is provided.

Mummer has many different scripts where one of the key program is MEM computation. In all the scripts, the MEM computation program can be replaced with e-mem with ease for better performance.

Ea-utils provides a set of command-line tools for processing biological sequencing data, barcode demultiplexing, adapter trimming, etc.

Primarily written to support an Illumina based pipeline - but should work with any FASTQs.

Main Tools are:

  • fastq-mcf Scans a sequence file for adapters, and, based on a log-scaled threshold, determines a set of clipping parameters and performs clipping. Also does skewing detection and quality filtering.

  • fastq-multx Demultiplexes a fastq. Capable of auto-determining barcode id's based on a master set fields. Keeps multiple reads in-sync during demultiplexing. Can verify that the reads are in-sync as well, and fail if they're not.

  • fastq-join Similar to audy's stitch program, but in C, more efficient and supports some automatic benchmarking and tuning. It uses the same "squared distance for anchored alignment" as other tools.

  • varcall Takes a pileup and calculates variants in a more easily parameterized manner than some other tools.

DNA barcoding is a tool for characterizing the species origin using a short sequence from a standard position and agreed upon position in the genome. To be used as a DNA barcode, a genome locus should vary among individuals of the same species only to a minor degree and it should vary among species very quickly. From a practical point of view, a barcode locus should be flanked by two conserved regions to design PCR primers. Several manually discovered barcode loci like COI, rbcL, 18S, 16S and 23S rDNA, or trnH-ps are routinely used today, but no objective function has been described to measure their quality in terms of universality (barcode coverage, Bc ) or in terms of taxonomical discrimination capacity (barcode specificity, Bs ).

ecoPCR is an electronic PCR software developed by LECA and Helix-Project. It helps to estimate Barcode primers quality. In conjunction with OBITools you can postprocess ecoPCR output to compute barcode coverage and barcode specificity. New barcode primers can be developed using the ecoPrimers software

The EIGENSOFT package combines functionality from the group's population genetics methods (Patterson et al. 2006) and their EIGENSTRAT stratification method (Price et al. 2006). The EIGENSTRAT method uses principal components analysis to explicitly model ancestry differences between cases and controls along continuous axes of variation; the resulting correction is specific to a candidate marker's variation in frequency across ancestral populations, minimizing spurious associations while maximizing power to detect true associations. The EIGENSOFT package has a built-in plotting script and supports multiple file formats and quantitative phenotypes.

ELPH (Estimated Locations of Pattern Hits) is a general-purpose Gibbs sampler for finding motifs in a set of DNA or protein sequences. The program takes as input a set containing anywhere from a few dozen to thousands of sequences, and searches through them for the most common motif, assuming that each sequence contains one copy of the motif. ELPH was used to find patterns such as ribosome binding sites (RBSs) and exon splicing enhancers (ESEs).

EMBOSS is a free Open Source software analysis package specially developed for the needs of the molecular biology (e.g. EMBnet) user community. The software automatically copes with data in a variety of formats and even allows transparent retrieval of sequence data from the web. Also, as extensive libraries are provided with the package, it is a platform to allow other scientists to develop and release software in true open source spirit. EMBOSS also integrates a range of currently available packages and tools for sequence analysis into a seamless whole. EMBOSS breaks the historical trend towards commercial software packages.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: clustalw primer3

EMMAX is a statistical test for large scale human or model organism association mapping accounting for the sample structure. In addition to the computational efficiency obtained by EMMA algorithm, EMMAX takes advantage of the fact that each locus explains only a small fraction of complex traits, which allows one to avoid repetitive variance component estimation procedure, resulting in a significant amount of increase in computational time of association mapping using mixed model.

ESTScan is a program that can detect coding regions in DNA sequences, even if they are of low quality. ESTScan will also detect and correct sequencing errors that lead to frameshifts. ESTScan is not a gene prediction program , nor is it an open reading frame detector. In fact, its strength lies in the fact that it does not require an open reading frame to detect a coding region. As a result, the program may miss a few translated amino acids at either the N or the C terminus, but will detect coding regions with high selectivity and sensitivity.

ESTScan takes advantages of the bias in hexanucleotide usage found in coding regions relative to non-coding regions. This bias is formalized as an inhomogeneous 3-periodic fifth-order Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Additionally, the HMM of ESTScan has been extended to allows insertions and deletions when these improve the coding region statistics.

Exascale Maximum Likelihood (ExaML) is a code for phylogenetic inference using MPI. This code implements the popular RAxML search algorithm for maximum likelihood based inference of phylogenetic trees.

ExaML is a strapped-down light-weight version of RAxML for phylogenetic inference on huge datasets. It can only execute some very basic functions and is intended for computer-savvy users that can write little perl-scripts and have experience using queue submission scripts for clusters. ExaML only implements the CAT and GAMMA models of rate heterogeneity for binary, DNA, and protein data.

ExaML uses a radically new MPI parallelization approach that yields improved parallel efficiency, in particular on partitioned multi-gene or whole-genome datasets. It also implements a new load balancing algorithm that yields better parallel efficiency.

It is up to 4 times faster than its predecessor RAxML-Light and scales to a larger number of processors.

Exonerate allows you to align sequences using a many alignment models, using either exhaustive dynamic programming, or a variety of heuristics. Much of the functionality of the Wise dynamic programming suite was reimplemented in C for better efficiency. Exonerate is an intrinsic component of the building of the Ensembl genome databases, providing similarity scores between RNA and DNA sequences and thus determining splice variants and coding sequences in general.

An In-silico PCR Experiment Simulation System (see the ipcress man page) is packaged with exonerate.

This package also comes with a selection of utilities for performing simple manipulations quickly on fasta files beyond 2Gb

The FASTA programs find regions of local or global similarity between Protein or DNA sequences, either by searching Protein or DNA databases, or by identifying local duplications within a sequence. Other programs provide information on the statistical significance of an alignment. Like BLAST, FASTA can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.

fastahack is a small application for indexing and extracting sequences and subsequences from FASTA files. The included Fasta.cpp library provides a FASTA reader and indexer that can be embedded into applications which would benefit from directly reading subsequences from FASTA files. The library automatically handles index file generation and use.

Features:

  • FASTA index (.fai) generation for FASTA files
  • Sequence extraction
  • Subsequence extraction
  • Sequence statistics (currently only entropy is provided)

Sequence and subsequence extraction use fseek64 to provide fastest-possible extraction without RAM-intensive file loading operations. This makes fastahack a useful tool for bioinformaticists who need to quickly extract many subsequences from a reference FASTA sequence.

fastDNAml is a program derived from Joseph Felsenstein's version 3.3 DNAML (part of his PHYLIP package). Users should consult the documentation for DNAML before using this program.

fastDNAml is an attempt to solve the same problem as DNAML, but to do so faster and using less memory, so that larger trees and/or more bootstrap replicates become tractable. Much of fastDNAml is merely a recoding of the PHYLIP 3.3 DNAML program from PASCAL to C.

Note that the homepage of this program is not available any more and so this program will probably not see any further updates.

Genetic linkage analysis is a statistical technique used to map genes and find the approximate location of disease genes. There was a standard software package for genetic linkage called LINKAGE. FASTLINK is a significantly modified and improved version of the main programs of LINKAGE that runs much faster sequentially, can run in parallel, allows the user to recover gracefully from a computer crash, and provides abundant new documentation. FASTLINK has been used in over 1000 published genetic linkage studies.

This package contains the following programs:

 ilink:    GEMINI optimization procedure to find a locally
           optimal value of the theta vector of recombination
           fractions
 linkmap:  calculates location scores of one locus against a
           fixed map of other loci
 lodscore: compares likelihoods at locally optimal theta
 mlink:    calculates lod scores and risk with two of more loci
 unknown:  identify possible genotypes for unknowns

FastML is a bioinformatics tool for the reconstruction of ancestral sequences based on the phylogenetic relations between homologous sequences. FastML runs several algorithms that reconstruct the ancestral sequences with emphasis on an accurate reconstruction of both indels and characters. For character reconstruction the previously described FastML algorithms are used to efficiently infer the most likely ancestral sequences for each internal node of the tree. Both joint and the marginal reconstructions are provided. For indels reconstruction the sequences are first coded according to the indel events detected within the multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and then a state-of-the-art likelihood model is used to reconstruct ancestral indels states. The results are the most probable sequences, together with posterior probabilities for each character and indel at each sequence position for each internal node of the tree. FastML is generic and is applicable for any type of molecular sequences (nucleotide, protein, or codon sequences).

FastQC aims to provide a simple way to do some quality control checks on raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing pipelines. It provides a modular set of analyses which you can use to give a quick impression of whether your data has any problems of which you should be aware before doing any further analysis.

The main functions of FastQC are

  • Import of data from BAM, SAM or FastQ files (any variant)
  • Providing a quick overview to tell you in which areas there may be problems
  • Summary graphs and tables to quickly assess your data
  • Export of results to an HTML based permanent report
  • Offline operation to allow automated generation of reports without running the interactive application

The goal of FastQTL is to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are significantly associated with various molecular phenotypes (i.e. expression of known genes, cytosine methylation levels, etc). It performs scans for all possible phenotype-variant pairs in cis (i.e. variants located within a specific window around a phenotype). FastQTL implements a new permutation scheme (Beta approximation) to accurately and rapidly correct for multiple-testing at both the genotype and phenotype levels.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: fastqtl-doc

FastTree infers approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from alignments of nucleotide or protein sequences. It handles alignments with up to a million of sequences in a reasonable amount of time and memory. For large alignments, FastTree is 100-1,000 times faster than PhyML 3.0 or RAxML 7.

FastTree is more accurate than PhyML 3 with default settings, and much more accurate than the distance-matrix methods that are traditionally used for large alignments. FastTree uses the Jukes-Cantor or generalized time-reversible (GTR) models of nucleotide evolution and the JTT (Jones-Taylor-Thornton 1992) model of amino acid evolution. To account for the varying rates of evolution across sites, FastTree uses a single rate for each site (the "CAT" approximation). To quickly estimate the reliability of each split in the tree, FastTree computes local support values with the Shimodaira-Hasegawa test (these are the same as PhyML 3's "SH-like local supports").

This package contains a single threaded version (fasttree) and a parallel version which uses OpenMP (fasttreMP).

Genome coverage, the number of sequencing reads mapped to a position in a genome, is an insightful indicator of irregularities within sequencing experiments. While the average genome coverage is frequently used within algorithms in computational genomics, the complete information available in coverage profiles (i.e. histograms over all coverages) is currently not exploited to its full extent. Thus, biases such as fragmented or erroneous reference genomes often remain unaccounted for. Making this information accessible can improve the quality of sequencing experiments and quantitative analyses.

fitGCP is a framework for fitting mixtures of probability distributions to genome coverage profiles. Besides commonly used distributions, fitGCP uses distributions tailored to account for common artifacts. The mixture models are iteratively fitted based on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm.

Fml-asm is a command-line tool for assembling Illumina short reads in regions from 100bp to 10 million bp in size, based on the fermi-lite library. It is largely a light-weight in-memory version of fermikit without generating any intermediate files. It inherits the performance, the relatively small memory footprint and the features of fermikit. In particular, fermi-lite is able to retain heterozygous events and thus can be used to assemble diploid regions for the purpose of variant calling.

FreeContact is a protein residue contact predictor optimized for speed. Its input is a multiple sequence alignment. FreeContact can function as an accelerated drop-in for the published contact predictors EVfold-mfDCA of DS. Marks (2011) and PSICOV of D. Jones (2011).

FreeContact is accelerated by a combination of vector instructions, multiple threads, and faster implementation of key parts. Depending on the alignment, 8-fold or higher speedups are possible.

A sufficiently large alignment is required for meaningful results. As a minimum, an alignment with an effective (after-weighting) sequence count bigger than the length of the query sequence should be used. Alignments with tens of thousands of (effective) sequences are considered good input.

jackhmmer(1) from the hmmer package, or hhblits(1) from hhsuite can be used to generate the alignments, for example.

This package contains the command line tool freecontact(1).

FSA is a probabilistic multiple sequence alignment algorithm which uses a "distance-based" approach to aligning homologous protein, RNA or DNA sequences. Much as distance-based phylogenetic reconstruction methods like Neighbor-Joining build a phylogeny using only pairwise divergence estimates, FSA builds a multiple alignment using only pairwise estimations of homology. This is made possible by the sequence annealing technique for constructing a multiple alignment from pairwise comparisons, developed by Ariel Schwartz.

FSA brings the high accuracies previously available only for small-scale analyses of proteins or RNAs to large-scale problems such as aligning thousands of sequences or megabase-long sequences. FSA introduces several novel methods for constructing better alignments:

  • FSA uses machine-learning techniques to estimate gap and substitution parameters on the fly for each set of input sequences. This "query-specific learning" alignment method makes FSA very robust: it can produce superior alignments of sets of homologous sequences which are subject to very different evolutionary constraints.
  • FSA is capable of aligning hundreds or even thousands of sequences using a randomized inference algorithm to reduce the computational cost of multiple alignment. This randomized inference can be over ten times faster than a direct approach with little loss of accuracy.
  • FSA can quickly align very long sequences using the "anchor annealing" technique for resolving anchors and projecting them with transitive anchoring. It then stitches together the alignment between the anchors using the methods described above.
  • The included GUI, MAD (Multiple Alignment Display), can display the intermediate alignments produced by FSA, where each character is colored according to the probability that it is correctly aligned

One goal of sequencing based metagenomic analysis is the quantitative taxonomic assessment of microbial community compositions. However, the majority of approaches either quantify at low resolution (e.g. at phylum level) or have severe problems discerning highly similar species. Yet, accurate quantification on species level is desirable in applications such as metagenomic diagnostics or community comparison. GASiC is a method to correct read alignment results for the ambiguities imposed by similarities of genomes. It has superior performance over existing methods.

The GATB-CORE project provides a set of highly efficient algorithms to analyse NGS data sets. These methods enable the analysis of data sets of any size on multi-core desktop computers, including very huge amount of reads data coming from any kind of organisms such as bacteria, plants, animals and even complex samples (e.g. metagenomes). Read more about GATB at https://gatb.inria.fr/. By itself GATB-CORE is not an NGS data analysis tool. However, it can be used to create such tools. There already exist a set of ready-to-use tools relying on GATB-CORE library: see https://gatb.inria.fr/software/

GEMMA is the software implementing the Genome-wide Efficient Mixed Model Association algorithm for a standard linear mixed model and some of its close relatives for genome-wide association studies (GWAS):

  • It fits a univariate linear mixed model (LMM) for marker association tests with a single phenotype to account for population stratification and sample structure, and for estimating the proportion of variance in phenotypes explained (PVE) by typed genotypes (i.e. "chip heritability").
  • It fits a multivariate linear mixed model (mvLMM) for testing marker associations with multiple phenotypes simultaneously while controlling for population stratification, and for estimating genetic correlations among complex phenotypes.
  • It fits a Bayesian sparse linear mixed model (BSLMM) using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for estimating PVE by typed genotypes, predicting phenotypes, and identifying associated markers by jointly modeling all markers while controlling for population structure.
  • It estimates variance component/chip heritability, and partitions it by different SNP functional categories. In particular, it uses HE regression or REML AI algorithm to estimate variance components when individual-level data are available. It uses MQS to estimate variance components when only summary statisics are available.

GEMMA is computationally efficient for large scale GWAS and uses freely available open-source numerical libraries.

GenomeThreader is a software tool to compute gene structure predictions. The gene structure predictions are calculated using a similarity-based approach where additional cDNA/EST and/or protein sequences are used to predict gene structures via spliced alignments. GenomeThreader was motivated by disabling limitations in GeneSeqer, a popular gene prediction program which is widely used for plant genome annotation.

GenomicsDB is built on top of a htslib fork and an internal array storage system for importing, querying and transforming variant data. Variant data is sparse by nature (sparse relative to the whole genome) and using sparse array data stores is a perfect fit for storing such data.

The GenomicsDB stores variant data in a 2D array where:

  • Each column corresponds to a genomic position (chromosome + position);
  • Each row corresponds to a sample in a VCF (or CallSet in the GA4GH terminology);
  • Each cell contains data for a given sample/CallSet at a given position; data is stored in the form of cell attributes;
  • Cells are stored in column major order - this makes accessing cells with the same column index (i.e. data for a given genomic position over all samples) fast.
  • Variant interval/gVCF interval data is stored in a cell at the start of the interval. The END is stored as a cell attribute. For variant intervals (such as deletions and gVCF REF blocks), an additional cell is stored at the END value of the variant interval. When queried for a given genomic position, the query library performs an efficient sweep to determine all intervals that intersect with the queried position.

This package contains some tools to be run as executable files.

A program to visualize the alignment of two genomic sequences together with their annotations. From GFF-format input files it produces PostScript figures for that alignment. The following menu lists many features of gff2aplot:

  • Comprehensive alignment plots for any GFF-feature. Attributes are defined separately so you can modify only whatsoever attributes for a given file or share same customization across different data-sets.
  • All parameters are set by default within the program, but it can be also fully configured via gff2ps-like flexible customization files. Program can handle several of such files, summarizing all the settings before producing the corresponding figure. Moreover, all customization parameters can be set via command-line switches, which allows users to play with those parameters before adding any to a customization file.
  • Source order is taken from input files, if you swap file order you can visualize alignment and its annotation with the new input arrangement.
  • All alignment scores can be visualized in a PiP box below gff2aplot area, using grey-color scale, user-defined color scale or score-dependent gradients.
  • Scalable fonts, which can also be chosen among the basic PostScript default fonts. Feature and group labels can be rotated to improve readability in both annotation axes.
  • The program is still defined as a Unix filter so it can handle data from files, redirections and pipes, writing output to standard-output and warnings to standard error.
  • gff2aplot is able to manage many physical page formats (from A0 to A10, and more -see available page sizes in its manual-), including user-defined ones. This allows, for instance, the generation of poster size genomic maps, or the use of a continuous-paper supporting plotting device, either in portrait or landscape.
  • You can draw different alignments on same alignment plot and distinguish them by using different colors for each.
  • Shape dictionary has been expanded, so that further feature shapes are now available (see manual).
  • Annotation projections through alignment plots (so called ribbons) emulate transparencies via complementary color fill patterns. This feature allows one to show color pseudo-blending when horizontal and vertical ribbons overlap.

gff2ps is a script program developed with the aim of converting gff-formatted records into high quality one-dimensional plots in PostScript. Such plots maybe useful for comparing genomic structures and to visualizing outputs from genome annotation programs. It can be used in a very simple way, because it assumes that the GFF file itself carries enough formatting information, but it also allows through a number of options and/or a configuration file, for a great degree of customization.

Takes a genome file and (currently) a .vcf.gz or a .bed.gz and checks that:

* a .tbi is present
* the VCF has ""##fileformat=VCF" as the first
line
* the VCF has a #CHROM header
* the chromosome are in the order specified by
the genome file (and present)
* the positions are sorted
* the positions are <= the chromosome lengths
defined in the genome file.

As a result, any new genome going into GGD will have a .genome file that will dictate the sort order and presence or absence of the 'chr' prefix for chromosomes

GLAM2 is a software package for finding motifs in sequences, typically amino-acid or nucleotide sequences. A motif is a re-occurring sequence pattern: typical examples are the TATA box and the CAAX prenylation motif. The main innovation of GLAM2 is that it allows insertions and deletions in motifs.

This package includes programs for discovering motifs shared by a set of sequences and finding matches to these motifs in a sequence database, as well as utilities for converting glam2 motifs to standard alignment formats, masking glam2 motifs out of sequences so that weaker motifs can be found, and removing highly similar members of a set of sequences.

The package includes these programs:

 glam2:       discovering motifs shared by a set of sequences;
 glam2scan:   finding matches, in a sequence database, to a motif discovered
              by glam2;
 glam2format: converting glam2 motifs to  standard alignment formats;
 glam2mask:   masking glam2 motifs out of sequences, so that weaker motifs
              can be found;
 glam2-purge: removing highly similar members of a set of sequences.

In this binary package, the fast Fourier algorithm (FFT) was enabled for the glam2 program.

This package contains the programs GMAP and GSNAP as well as utilities to manage genome databases in GMAP/GSNAP format. GMAP (Genomic Mapping and Alignment Program) is a tool for aligning EST, mRNA and cDNA sequences. GSNAP (Genomic Short-read Nucleotide Alignment Program) is a tool for aligning single-end and paired-end transcriptome reads. Both tools can use a database of

  • known splice sites and identify novel splice sites.
  • known single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). GSNAP can align bisulfite-treated DNA.

In biomedical research it is increasing practice to study the genetic basis of disease. This now frequently comprises the sequencing of human sequences. The output of the machine however is redundant, and the real sequence is the best sequence to explain the redundancy. The exchange of data happens only with compressed files - to huge and redundant to perform otherwise. One should avoid uncompression whenever possible.

grabix leverages the fantastic BGZF library of the samtools package to provide random access into text files that have been compressed with bgzip. grabix creates it's own index (.gbi) of the bgzipped file. Once indexed, one can extract arbitrary lines from the file with the grab command. Or choose random lines with the, well, random command.

Grinder is a versatile program to create random shotgun and amplicon sequence libraries based on DNA, RNA or proteic reference sequences provided in a FASTA file.

Grinder can produce genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic, metatranscriptomic, proteomic, metaproteomic shotgun and amplicon datasets from current sequencing technologies such as Sanger, 454, Illumina. These simulated datasets can be used to test the accuracy of bioinformatic tools under specific hypothesis, e.g. with or without sequencing errors, or with low or high community diversity. Grinder may also be used to help decide between alternative sequencing methods for a sequence-based project, e.g. should the library be paired-end or not, how many reads should be sequenced.

GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles.

It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins and lipids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations) many groups are also using it for research on non- biological systems, e.g. polymers.

This package contains variants both for execution on a single machine, and using the MPI interface across multiple machines.

gsort is a tool to sort genomic files according to a genomefile. For example, to sort VCF to have order: X, Y, 2, 1, 3, ... and the header needs to be kept at the top.

As a more likely example, if a file nneds to be sorted to match GATK order (1 ... X, Y, MT) which is not possible with any other sorting tool. With gsort one can simply place MT as the last chrom in the ".genome" file.

It will also be useful for getting files ready for use in bedtools.

Gubbins supports rapid phylogenetic analysis of large samples of recombinant bacterial whole genome sequences.

Gubbins (Genealogies Unbiased By recomBinations In Nucleotide Sequences) is an algorithm that iteratively identifies loci containing elevated densities of base substitutions while concurrently constructing a phylogeny based on the putative point mutations outside of these regions. Simulations demonstrate the algorithm generates highly accurate reconstructions under realistic models of short-term bacterial evolution, and can be run in only a few hours on alignments of hundreds of bacterial genome sequences.

GWAMA (Genome-Wide Association Meta Analysis) software performs meta-analysis of the results of GWA studies of binary or quantitative phenotypes. Fixed- and random-effect meta-analyses are performed for both directly genotyped and imputed SNPs using estimates of the allelic odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for binary traits, and estimates of the allelic effect size and standard error for quantitative phenotypes. GWAMA can be used for analysing the results of all different genetic models (multiplicative, additive, dominant, recessive). The software incorporates error trapping facilities to identify strand alignment errors and allele flipping, and performs tests of heterogeneity of effects between studies.

HH-suite is an open-source software package for sensitive protein sequence searching based on the pairwise alignment of hidden Markov models (HMMs).

This package contains HHsearch and HHblits among other programs and utilities.

HHsearch takes as input a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) or profile HMM and searches a database of HMMs (e.g. PDB, Pfam, or InterPro) for homologous proteins. HHsearch is often used for protein structure prediction to detect homologous templates and to build highly accurate query-template pairwise alignments for homology modeling.

HHblits can build high-quality MSAs starting from single sequences or from MSAs. It transforms these into a query HMM and, using an iterative search strategy, adds significantly similar sequences from the previous search to the updated query HMM for the next search iteration. Compared to PSI-BLAST, HHblits is faster, up to twice as sensitive and produces more accurate alignments.

HISAT2 is a fast and sensitive alignment program for mapping next-generation sequencing reads (both DNA and RNA) to a population of human genomes (as well as against a single reference genome). Based on an extension of BWT for graphs a graph FM index (GFM) was designed and implementd. In addition to using one global GFM index that represents a population of human genomes, HISAT2 uses a large set of small GFM indexes that collectively cover the whole genome (each index representing a genomic region of 56 Kbp, with 55,000 indexes needed to cover the human population). These small indexes (called local indexes), combined with several alignment strategies, enable rapid and accurate alignment of sequencing reads. This new indexing scheme is called a Hierarchical Graph FM index (HGFM).

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

HMMER is an implementation of profile hidden Markov model methods for sensitive searches of biological sequence databases using multiple sequence alignments as queries.

Given a multiple sequence alignment as input, HMMER builds a statistical model called a "hidden Markov model" which can then be used as a query into a sequence database to find (and/or align) additional homologues of the sequence family.

IDBA stands for iterative de Bruijn graph assembler. In computational sequence biology, an assembler solves the puzzle coming from large sequencing machines that feature many gigabytes of short reads from a large genome.

This package provides several flavours of the IDBA assembler, as they all share the same source tree but serve different purposes and evolved over time.

IDBA is the basic iterative de Bruijn graph assembler for second-generation sequencing reads. IDBA-UD, an extension of IDBA, is designed to utilize paired-end reads to assemble low-depth regions and use progressive depth on contigs to reduce errors in high-depth regions. It is a generic purpose assembler and especially good for single-cell and metagenomic sequencing data. IDBA-Hybrid is another update version of IDBA-UD, which can make use of a similar reference genome to improve assembly result. IDBA-Tran is an iterative de Bruijn graph assembler for RNA-Seq data.

The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a high-performance viewer that efficiently handles large heterogeneous data sets, while providing a smooth and intuitive user experience at all levels of genome resolution. A key characteristic of IGV is its focus on the integrative nature of genomic studies, with support for both array-based and next-generation sequencing data, and the integration of clinical and phenotypic data. Although IGV is often used to view genomic data from public sources, its primary emphasis is to support researchers who wish to visualize and explore their own data sets or those from colleagues. To that end, IGV supports flexible loading of local and remote data sets, and is optimized to provide high-performance data visualization and exploration on standard desktop systems.

INDELible is a new, portable, and flexible application for biological sequence simulation that combines many features in the same place for the first time. Using a length-dependent model of indel formation it can simulate evolution of multi-partitioned nucleotide, amino-acid, or codon data sets through the processes of insertion, deletion, and substitution in continuous time.

Nucleotide simulations may use the general unrestricted model or the general time reversible model and its derivatives, and amino-acid simulations can be conducted using fifteen different empirical rate matrices. Substitution rate heterogeneity can be modeled via the continuous and discrete gamma distributions, with or without a proportion of invariant sites. INDELible can also simulate under non-homogeneous and non-stationary conditions where evolutionary models are permitted to change across a phylogeny.

Unique among indel simulation programs, INDELible offers the ability to simulate using codon models that exhibit nonsynonymous/synonymous rate ratio heterogeneity among sites and/or lineages.

Infernal ("INFERence of RNA ALignment") searches DNA sequence databases for RNA structure and sequence similarities. It provides an implementation of a special variant of profile stochastic context-free grammars called covariance models (CMs). A CM is like a sequence profile, but it scores a combination of sequence consensus and RNA secondary structure consensus, so in many cases, it is more capable of identifying RNA homologs that conserve their secondary structure more than their primary sequence.

The tool is an integral component of the Rfam database.

IVA is a de novo assembler designed to assemble virus genomes that have no repeat sequences, using Illumina read pairs sequenced from mixed populations at extremely high depth.

IVA's main algorithm works by iteratively extending contigs using aligned read pairs. Its input can be just read pairs, or additionally you can provide an existing set of contigs to be extended. Alternatively, it can take reads together with a reference sequence.

JELLYFISH is a tool for fast, memory-efficient counting of k-mers in DNA. A k-mer is a substring of length k, and counting the occurrences of all such substrings is a central step in many analyses of DNA sequence. JELLYFISH can count k-mers using an order of magnitude less memory and an order of magnitude faster than other k-mer counting packages by using an efficient encoding of a hash table and by exploiting the "compare-and-swap" CPU instruction to increase parallelism.

JELLYFISH is a command-line program that reads FASTA and multi-FASTA files containing DNA sequences. It outputs its k-mer counts in an binary format, which can be translated into a human-readable text format using the "jellyfish dump" command.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Kallisto is a program for quantifying abundances of transcripts from RNA-Seq data, or more generally of target sequences using high-throughput sequencing reads. It is based on the novel idea of pseudoalignment for rapidly determining the compatibility of reads with targets, without the need for alignment. On benchmarks with standard RNA-Seq data, kallisto can quantify 30 million human reads in less than 3 minutes on a Mac desktop computer using only the read sequences and a transcriptome index that itself takes less than 10 minutes to build. Pseudoalignment of reads preserves the key information needed for quantification, and kallisto is therefore not only fast, but also as accurate than existing quantification tools. In fact, because the pseudoalignment procedure is robust to errors in the reads, in many benchmarks kallisto significantly outperforms existing tools.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Kaptive reports information about K and O types for Klebsiella genome assemblies.

Given a novel genome and a database of known loci (K or O), Kaptive will help a user to decide whether their sample has a known or novel locus. It carries out the following for each input assembly:

  • BLAST for all known locus nucleotide sequences (using blastn) to identify the best match ('best' defined as having the highest coverage).
  • Extract the region(s) of the assembly which correspond to the BLAST hits (i.e. the locus sequence in the assembly) and save it to a FASTA file.
  • BLAST for all known locus genes (using tblastn) to identify which expected genes (genes in the best matching locus) are present/missing and whether any unexpected genes (genes from other loci) are present.
  • Output a summary to a table file.

In cases where your input assembly closely matches a known locus, Kaptive should make that obvious. When your assembly has a novel type, that too should be clear. However, Kaptive cannot reliably extract or annotate locus sequences for totally novel types - if it indicates a novel locus is present then extracting and annotating the sequence is up to you! Very poor assemblies can confound the results, so be sure to closely examine any case where the locus sequence in your assembly is broken into multiple pieces.

king-probe is a program that allows one to evaluate atomic packing, either within or between molecules. It generates "contact dots" where atoms are in close contact.

The program king-probe generates "contact dots" at points on the van der Waals surface of atoms which are in close proximity to other atoms; reading atomic coordinates in protein databank (PDB) format files and writing color-coded dot lists (spikes where atoms clash) for inclusion in a kinemage.

KisSplice is a piece of software that enables the analysis of RNA-seq data with or without a reference genome. It is an exact local transcriptome assembler that allows one to identify SNPs, indels and alternative splicing events. It can deal with an arbitrary number of biological conditions, and will quantify each variant in each condition. It has been tested on Illumina datasets of up to 1G reads. Its memory consumption is around 5Gb for 100M reads.

KMA is mapping a method designed to map raw reads directly against redundant databases, in an ultra-fast manner using seed and extend. KMA is particularly good at aligning high quality reads against highly redundant databases, where unique matches often does not exist. It works for long low quality reads as well, such as those from Nanopore. Non- unique matches are resolved using the "ConClave" sorting scheme, and a consensus sequence are outputtet in addition to other common attributes.

The kmc software is designed for counting k-mers (sequences of consecutive k symbols) in a set of reads. K-mer counting is important for many bioinformatics applications, e.g. developing de Bruijn graph assemblers.

Building de Bruijn graphs is a commonly used approach for genome assembly with data from second-generation sequencing. Unfortunately, sequencing errors (frequent in practice) result in huge memory requirements for de Bruijn graphs, as well as long build time. One of the popular approaches to handle this problem is filtering the input reads in such a way that unique k-mers (very likely obtained as a result of an error) are discarded.

Thus, KMC scans the raw reads and produces a compact representation of all non-unique reads accompanied with number of their occurrences. The algorithm implemented in KMC makes use mostly of disk space rather than RAM, which allows one to use KMC even on rather typical personal computers. When run on high-end servers (what is necessary for KMC competitors) it outperforms them in both memory requirements and speed of computation. The disk space necessary for computation is in order of the size of input data (usually it is smaller).

Kraken is a system for assigning taxonomic labels to short DNA sequences, usually obtained through metagenomic studies. Previous attempts by other bioinformatics software to accomplish this task have often used sequence alignment or machine learning techniques that were quite slow, leading to the development of less sensitive but much faster abundance estimation programs. Kraken aims to achieve high sensitivity and high speed by utilizing exact alignments of k-mers and a novel classification algorithm.

In its fastest mode of operation, for a simulated metagenome of 100 bp reads, Kraken processed over 4 million reads per minute on a single core, over 900 times faster than Megablast and over 11 times faster than the abundance estimation program MetaPhlAn. Kraken's accuracy is comparable with Megablast, with slightly lower sensitivity and very high precision.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: jellyfish1 multiqc

Kraken 2 is the newest version of Kraken, a taxonomic classification system using exact k-mer matches to achieve high accuracy and fast classification speeds. This classifier matches each k-mer within a query sequence to the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of all genomes containing the given k-mer. The k-mer assignments inform the classification algorithm. [see: Kraken 1's Webpage for more details].

Kraken 2 provides significant improvements to Kraken 1, with faster database build times, smaller database sizes, and faster classification speeds. These improvements were achieved by the following updates to the Kraken classification program:

 1. Storage of Minimizers: Instead of storing/querying entire k-mers,
    Kraken 2 stores minimizers (l-mers) of each k-mer. The length of
    each l-mer must be ≤ the k-mer length. Each k-mer is treated by
    Kraken 2 as if its LCA is the same as its minimizer's LCA.
 2. Introduction of Spaced Seeds: Kraken 2 also uses spaced seeds to
    store and query minimizers to improve classification accuracy.
 3. Database Structure: While Kraken 1 saved an indexed and sorted list
    of k-mer/LCA pairs, Kraken 2 uses a compact hash table. This hash
    table is a probabilistic data structure that allows for faster
    queries and lower memory requirements. However, this data structure
    does have a <1% chance of returning the incorrect LCA or returning
    an LCA for a non-inserted minimizer. Users can compensate for this
    possibility by using Kraken's confidence scoring thresholds.
 4. Protein Databases: Kraken 2 allows for databases built from amino
    acid sequences. When queried, Kraken 2 performs a six-frame
    translated search of the query sequences against the database.
 5. 16S Databases: Kraken 2 also provides support for databases not
    based on NCBI's taxonomy. Currently, these include the 16S
    databases: Greengenes, SILVA, and RDP.

LAMARC is a program which estimates population-genetic parameters such as population size, population growth rate, recombination rate, and migration rates. It approximates a summation over all possible genealogies that could explain the observed sample, which may be sequence, SNP, microsatellite, or electrophoretic data. LAMARC and its sister program Migrate are successor programs to the older programs Coalesce, Fluctuate, and Recombine, which are no longer being supported. The programs are memory-intensive but can run effectively on workstations.

lamassemble merges overlapping "long" DNA reads into a consensus sequence (i.e. assembles them). It works OK when the number of reads is less than a thousand or so. The merging is not always accurate. In particular, if the reads come from huge tandem repeats, wrong parts of the reads may get merged.

LAST is software for comparing and aligning sequences, typically DNA or protein sequences. LAST is similar to BLAST, but it copes better with very large amounts of sequence data. Here are two things LAST is good at:

  • Comparing large (e.g. mammalian) genomes.
  • Mapping lots of sequence tags onto a genome.

The main technical innovation is that LAST finds initial matches based on their multiplicity, instead of using a fixed size (e.g. BLAST uses 10-mers). This allows one to map tags to genomes without repeat-masking, without becoming overwhelmed by repetitive hits. To find these variable-sized matches, it uses a suffix array (inspired by Vmatch). To achieve high sensitivity, it uses a discontiguous suffix array, analogous to spaced seeds.

LASTZ is a drop-in replacement for BLASTZ, and is backward compatible with BLASTZ’s command-line syntax. That is, it supports all of BLASTZ’s options but also has additional ones, and may produce slightly different alignment results.

The libpwiz library from the ProteoWizard project provides a modular and extensible set of open-source, cross-platform tools and libraries. The tools perform proteomics data analyses; the libraries enable rapid tool creation by providing a robust, pluggable development framework that simplifies and unifies data file access, and performs standard chemistry and LCMS dataset computations.

The primary goal of ProteoWizard is to eliminate the existing barriers to proteomic software development so that researchers can focus on the development of new analytic approaches, rather than having to dedicate significant resources to mundane (if important) tasks, like reading data files.

This package ships command line tools that include idconvert (conversion of MS identifications) and msconvert (conversion of MS raw data files from/to any supported format).

The Variant Call Format (VCF) is a flat-file, tab-delimited textual format intended to concisely describe reference-indexed variations between individuals. VCF provides a common interchange format for the description of variation in individuals and populations of samples, and has become the defacto standard reporting format for a wide array of genomic variant detectors.

vcflib provides methods to manipulate and interpret sequence variation as it can be described by VCF. It is both:

  • an API for parsing and operating on records of genomic variation as it can be described by the VCF format,
  • and a collection of command-line utilities for executing complex manipulations on VCF files.

This package contains several tools using the library.

Lighter is a fast, memory-efficient tool for correcting sequencing errors. Lighter avoids counting k-mers. Instead, it uses a pair of Bloom filters, one holding a sample of the input k-mers and the other holding k-mers likely to be correct. As long as the sampling fraction is adjusted in inverse proportion to the depth of sequencing, Bloom filter size can be held constant while maintaining near-constant accuracy. Lighter is parallelized, uses no secondary storage, and is both faster and more memory-efficient than competing approaches while achieving comparable accuracy.

Lucy is a utility that prepares raw DNA sequence fragments for sequence assembly, possibly using the TIGR Assembler. The cleanup process includes quality assessment, confidence reassurance, vector trimming and vector removal. The primary advantage of Lucy over other similar utilities is that it is a fully integrated, stand alone program.

Lucy was designed and written at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR, now the J. Craig Venter Institute), and it has been used here for several years to clean sequence data from automated DNA sequencers prior to sequence assembly and other downstream uses. The quality trimming portion of lucy makes use of phred quality scores, such as those produced by many automated sequencers based on the Sanger sequencing method. As such, lucy’s quality trimming may not be appropriate for sequence data produced by some of the new “next-generation” sequencers.

MACS empirically models the length of the sequenced ChIP fragments, which tends to be shorter than sonication or library construction size estimates, and uses it to improve the spatial resolution of predicted binding sites. MACS also uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome sequence, allowing for more sensitive and robust prediction. MACS compares favorably to existing ChIP-Seq peak-finding algorithms, is publicly available open source, and can be used for ChIP-Seq with or without control samples.

MacSyFinder is a program to model and detect macromolecular systems, genetic pathways... in protein datasets. In prokaryotes, these systems have often evolutionarily conserved properties: they are made of conserved components, and are encoded in compact loci (conserved genetic architecture). The user models these systems with MacSyFinder to reflect these conserved features, and to allow their efficient detection

This package presents the Open Source Java API to biological databases and a series of mostly sequence-based algorithms.

MafFilter applies a series of "filters" to a MAF file, in order to clean it, extract data and computer statistics while keeping track of the associated meta-data such as genome coordinates and quality scores.

  • It can process the alignment to remove low-quality / ambiguous / masked regions.
  • It can export data into a single or multiple alignment file in format such as Fasta or Clustal.
  • It can read annotation data in GFF or GTF format, and extract the corresponding alignment.
  • It can perform sliding windows calculations.
  • It can reconstruct phylogeny/genealogy along the genome alignment.
  • It can compute population genetics statistics, such as site frequency spectrum, number of fixed/polymorphic sites, etc.

MAFFT is a multiple sequence alignment program which offers three accuracy-oriented methods:

  • L-INS-i (probably most accurate; recommended for <200 sequences; iterative refinement method incorporating local pairwise alignment information),
  • G-INS-i (suitable for sequences of similar lengths; recommended for <200 sequences; iterative refinement method incorporating global pairwise alignment information),
  • E-INS-i (suitable for sequences containing large unalignable regions; recommended for <200 sequences), and five speed-oriented methods:

  • FFT-NS-i (iterative refinement method; two cycles only),

  • FFT-NS-i (iterative refinement method; max. 1000 iterations),
  • FFT-NS-2 (fast; progressive method),
  • FFT-NS-1 (very fast; recommended for >2000 sequences; progressive method with a rough guide tree),
  • NW-NS-PartTree-1 (recommended for ∼50,000 sequences; progressive method with the PartTree algorithm).

MALT, an acronym for MEGAN alignment tool, is a sequence alignment and analysis tool designed for processing high-throughput sequencing data, especially in the context of metagenomics. It is an extension of MEGAN6, the MEGenome Analyzer and is designed to provide the input for MEGAN6, but can also be used independently of MEGAN6.

The core of the program is a sequence alignment engine that aligns DNA or protein sequences to a DNA or protein reference database in either BLASTN (DNA queries and DNA references), BLASTX (DNA queries and protein references) or BLASTP (protein queries and protein references) mode. The engine uses a banded-alignment algorithm with ane gap scores and BLOSUM substitution matrices (in the case of protein alignments). The program can compute both local alignments (Smith-Waterman) or semi-global alignments (in which reads are aligned end-to-end into reference sequences), the latter being more appropriate for aligning metagenomic reads to references.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Mapsembler2 is a targeted assembly software. It takes as input a set of NGS raw reads (fasta or fastq, gzipped or not) and a set of input sequences (starters).

It first determines if each starter is read-coherent, e.g. whether reads confirm the presence of each starter in the original sequence. Then for each read-coherent starter, Mapsembler2 outputs its sequence neighborhood as a linear sequence or as a graph, depending on the user choice.

Mapsembler2 may be used for (not limited to):

  • Validate an assembled sequence (input as starter), e.g. from a de Bruijn graph assembly where read-coherence was not enforced.
  • Checks if a gene (input as starter) has an homolog in a set of reads
  • Checks if a known enzyme is present in a metagenomic NGS read set.
  • Enrich unmappable reads by extending them, possibly making them mappable
  • Checks what happens at the extremities of a contig
  • Remove contaminants or symbiont reads from a read set

Maq (short for Mapping and Assembly with Quality) builds mapping assemblies from short reads generated by the next-generation sequencing machines. It was particularly designed for Illumina-Solexa 1G Genetic Analyzer, and has a preliminary functionality to handle ABI SOLiD data. Maq is previously known as mapass2.

Developmemt of Maq stopped in 2008. Its successors are BWA and SAMtools.

Maqview is graphical read alignment viewer. It is specifically designed for the Maq alignment file and allows you to see the mismatches, base qualities and mapping qualities. Maqview is nothing fancy as Consed or GAP, but just a simple viewer for you to see what happens in a particular region.

In comparison to tgap-maq, the text-based read alignment viewer written by James Bonfield, Maqview is faster and takes up much less memory and disk space in indexing. This is possibly because tgap aims to be a general-purpose viewer but Maqview fully makes use of the fact that a Maq alignment file has already been sorted. Maqview is also efficient in viewing and provides a command-line tool to quickly retrieve any region in an Maq alignment file.

Mash uses MinHash locality-sensitive hashing to reduce large biosequences to a representative sketch and rapidly estimate pairwise distances between genomes or metagenomes. Mash sketch databases effectively delineate known species boundaries, allow construction of approximate phylogenies, and can be searched in seconds using assembled genomes or raw sequencing runs from Illumina, Pacific Biosciences, and Oxford Nanopore. For metagenomics, Mash scales to thousands of samples and can replicate Human Microbiome Project and Global Ocean Survey results in a fraction of the time.

Mauve is a system for efficiently constructing multiple genome alignments in the presence of large-scale evolutionary events such as rearrangement and inversion. Multiple genome alignment provides a basis for research into comparative genomics and the study of evolutionary dynamics. Aligning whole genomes is a fundamentally different problem than aligning short sequences.

Mauve has been developed with the idea that a multiple genome aligner should require only modest computational resources. It employs algorithmic techniques that scale well in the amount of sequence being aligned. For example, a pair of Y. pestis genomes can be aligned in under a minute, while a group of 9 divergent Enterobacterial genomes can be aligned in a few hours.

Mauve computes and interactively visualizes genome sequence comparisons. Using FastA or GenBank sequence data, Mauve constructs multiple genome alignments that identify large-scale rearrangement, gene gain, gene loss, indels, and nucleotide substutition.

Mauve is developed at the University of Wisconsin.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: progressivemauve

MEGAN Community Edition is a shotgun sequencer to analyze microbiome samples. It is a rewrite and extension of the widely-used microbiome analysis tool MEGAN so as to facilitate the interactive analysis of the taxonomic and functional content of very large microbiome datasets. Other new features include a functional classifier called InterPro2GO, gene-centric read assembly, principal coordinate analysis of taxonomy and function, and support for metadata. By integrating MEGAN CE with the high-throughput DNA-to-protein alignment tool DIAMOND a powerful and complete pipeline for the analysis of metagenome shotgun sequences can be provided.

This program computes, for a nucleic acid duplex, the enthalpy, the entropy and the melting temperature of the helix-coil transitions. Three types of hybridisation are possible: DNA/DNA, DNA/RNA, and RNA/RNA. The program first computes the hybridisation enthalpy and entropy from the elementary parameters of each Crick's pair by the nearest-neighbor method. Then the melting temperature is computed. The set of thermodynamic parameters can be easily changed, for instance following an experimental breakthrough.

meryl computes the kmer content of genomic sequences. Kmer content is represented as a list of kmers and the number of times each occurs in the input sequences. The kmer can be restricted to only the forward kmer, only the reverse kmer, or the canonical kmer (lexicographically smaller of the forward and reverse kmer at each location). Meryl can report the histogram of counts, the list of kmers and their counts, or can perform mathematical and set operations on the processed data files.

This package is part of the Kmer suite.

MetaPhlAn is a computational tool for profiling the composition of microbial communities (Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes) from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data (i.e. not 16S) with species-level. With the newly added StrainPhlAn module, it is now possible to perform accurate strain-level microbial profiling.

MetaPhlAn relies on ~1.1M unique clade-specific marker genes (the latest marker information file mpa_v31_CHOCOPhlAn_201901_marker_info.txt.bz2 can be found here) identified from ~100,000 reference genomes (~99,500 bacterial and archaeal and ~500 eukaryotic), allowing:

  • unambiguous taxonomic assignments;
  • accurate estimation of organismal relative abundance;
  • species-level resolution for bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes and viruses;
  • strain identification and tracking
  • orders of magnitude speedups compared to existing methods.
  • metagenomic strain-level population genomics

What was referred to as "next-generation" DNA sequencing up to the year 2020 delivered only "short" reads up to ~600 base pairs in length that would then have to be puzzled by random overlaps in their sequence towards a complete genome. This is the genome assembly. And there are many biological pitfalls on long stretches of low complexity regions and copy number variations and other sorts of redundancies that render this difficult.

This package provides a short-read DNA sequence assembler based on a de Bruijn graph, capable of assembling a human genome on a desktop computer in a day.

The output of Minia is a set of contigs, i.e. stretches of gap-free linear overlaps of short reads. In the best possible case this is a whole chromosome.

Minia produces results of similar contiguity and accuracy to other de Bruijn assemblers (e.g. Velvet).

Miniasm is an experimental very fast OLC-based de novo assembler for noisy long reads. It takes all-vs-all read self-mappings (typically by minimap) as input and outputs an assembly graph in the GFA format. Different from mainstream assemblers, miniasm does not have a consensus step. It simply concatenates pieces of read sequences to generate the final unitig sequences. Thus the per-base error rate is similar to the raw input reads.

Minimac4 is a lower memory and more computationally efficient implementation of "minimac2/3". It is an algorithm for genotypic imputation that works on phased genotypes (say from MaCH).

Minimac4 is designed to handle very large reference panels in a more computationally efficient way with no loss of accuracy. This algorithm analyzes only the unique sets of haplotypes in small genomic segments, thereby saving on time-complexity, computational memory but no loss in degree of accuracy.

Minimap is an experimental tool to efficiently find multiple approximate mapping positions between two sets of long biological sequences, such as between DNA reads and reference genomes, between genomes and between long noisy reads. Minimap does not generate alignments as of now and because of this, it is usually tens of times faster than mainstream aligners. It does not replace mainstream aligners, but it can be useful when you want to quickly identify long approximate matches at moderate divergence among a huge collection of sequences. For this task, it is much faster than most existing tools.

Minimap2 is a versatile sequence alignment program that aligns DNA or mRNA sequences against a large reference database. Typical use cases include: (1) mapping PacBio or Oxford Nanopore genomic reads to the human genome; (2) finding overlaps between long reads with error rate up to ~15%; (3) splice-aware alignment of PacBio Iso-Seq or Nanopore cDNA or Direct RNA reads against a reference genome; (4) aligning Illumina single- or paired-end reads; (5) assembly-to-assembly alignment; (6) full- genome alignment between two closely related species with divergence below ~15%.

For ~10kb noisy reads sequences, minimap2 is tens of times faster than mainstream long-read mappers such as BLASR, BWA-MEM, NGMLR and GMAP. It is more accurate on simulated long reads and produces biologically meaningful alignment ready for downstream analyses. For >100bp Illumina short reads, minimap2 is three times as fast as BWA-MEM and Bowtie2, and as accurate on simulated data. Detailed evaluations are available from the minimap2 paper or the preprint.

MIPE provides a standard format to exchange and/or storage of all information associated with PCR experiments using a flat text file. This will:

  • allow for exchange of PCR data between researchers/laboratories
  • enable traceability of the data
  • prevent problems when submitting data to dbSTS or dbSNP
  • enable the writing of standard scripts to extract data (e.g. a list of PCR primers, SNP positions or haplotypes for different animals)

Although this tool can be used for data storage, it's primary focus should be data exchange. For larger repositories, relational databases are more appropriate for storage of these data. The MIPE format could then be used as a standard format to import into and/or export from these databases.

The mira genome fragment assembler is a specialised assembler for sequencing projects classified as 'hard' due to high number of similar repeats. For expressed sequence tags (ESTs) transcripts, miraEST is specialised on reconstructing pristine mRNA transcripts while detecting and classifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) occurring in different variations thereof.

The assembler is routinely used for such various tasks as mutation detection in different cell types, similarity analysis of transcripts between organisms, and pristine assembly of sequences from various sources for oligo design in clinical microarray experiments.

The package provides the following executables: Binaries provided:

  • mira: for assembly of genome sequences
  • miramem: estimating memory needed to assemble projects.
  • mirabait: a "grep" like tool to select reads with kmers up to 256 bases.
  • miraconvert: is a tool to convert, extract and sometimes recalculate all kinds of data related to sequence assembly files.

The main goal of this project is to create a reflection group on metazoan microRNAs (miRNAs), open to all interested researchers, to identify blockages and develop standards and guidelines to improve miRNA research, resources and communication. This can go through the use of standardized file formats, gene and variants nomenclature guidelines, and advancements in miRNA biology understanding. The group will eventually also aim at expanding its breadth to the development of novel tools, data resources, and best-practices guidelines to benefit the scientific community by providing high confidence validated research and analysis strategies, regardless the expertise in this field. This package provides the command line interface to mirtop.

Many small reads are produced by high-throughput "next generation" sequencing technologies. The final sequence is derived from how these reads are overlapping towards a consensus. The more reads are covering/confirming parts of a nucleotide seq, the higher the confidence is. Too many reads would be indicative of e.g. repeats in the genome.

mosdepth can output:

  • per-base depth about 2x as fast samtools depth--about 25 minutes of CPU time for a 30X genome.
  • mean per-window depth given a window size--as would be used for CNV calling.
  • the mean per-region given a BED file of regions.
  • a distribution of proportion of bases covered at or above a given threshold for each chromosome and genome-wide.
  • quantized output that merges adjacent bases as long as they fall in the same coverage bins e.g. (10-20)
  • threshold output to indicate how many bases in each region are covered at the given thresholds. when appropriate, the output files are bgzipped and indexed for ease of use.

Implementation of a fast species delimitation method, based on PTP (Zhang et al. 2013) with a 64-bit multi-threaded design that handles very large datasets.

The tool mPTP can handle very large biodiversity datasets. It implements a fast method to compute the ML delimitation from an inferred phylogenetic tree of the samples. Using MCMC, it also computes the support values for each clade, which can be used to assess the confidence of the ML delimitation.

ML delimitation mPTP implements two flavours of the point-estimate solution. First, it implements the original method from (Zhang et al. 2013) where all within-species processes are modelled with a single exponential distribution. mPTP uses a dynamic programming implementation which estimates the ML delimitation faster and more accurately than the original PTP. The dynamic programming implementation has similar properties as (Gulek et al. 2010). See the wiki for more information. The second method assumes a distinct exponential distribution for the branching events of each of the delimited species allowing it to fit to a wider range of empirical datasets.

MCMC method mPTP generates support values for each clades. They represent the ratio of the number of samples for which a particular node was in the between-species process, to the total number of samples.

Bayesian inference of phylogeny is based upon a quantity called the posterior probability distribution of trees, which is the probability of a tree conditioned on the observations. The conditioning is accomplished using Bayes's theorem. The posterior probability distribution of trees is impossible to calculate analytically; instead, MrBayes uses a simulation technique called Markov chain Monte Carlo (or MCMC) to approximate the posterior probabilities of trees.

The sequencing of DNA or RNA with current high-throughput technologies involves an array of tools and these are applied over a range of samples. It is easy to loose oversight. And gathering the data and forwarding them in a readable manner to the individuals who took the samples is a challenge for a tool in itself. Well. Here it is. MultiQC aggregates the output of multiple tools into a single report.

Reports are generated by scanning given directories for recognised log files. These are parsed and a single HTML report is generated summarising the statistics for all logs found. MultiQC reports can describe multiple analysis steps and large numbers of samples within a single plot, and multiple analysis tools making it ideal for routine fast quality control.

MUMmer is a system for rapidly aligning entire genomes, whether in complete or draft form. For example, MUMmer 3.0 can find all 20-basepair or longer exact matches between a pair of 5-megabase genomes in 13.7 seconds, using 78 MB of memory, on a 2.4 GHz Linux desktop computer. MUMmer can also align incomplete genomes; it handles the 100s or 1000s of contigs from a shotgun sequencing project with ease, and will align them to another set of contigs or a genome using the NUCmer program included with the system. If the species are too divergent for DNA sequence alignment to detect similarity, then the PROmer program can generate alignments based upon the six-frame translations of both input sequences.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: e-mem

MUSCLE is a multiple alignment program for protein sequences. MUSCLE stands for multiple sequence comparison by log-expectation. In the authors tests, MUSCLE achieved the highest scores of all tested programs on several alignment accuracy benchmarks, and is also one of the fastest programs out there.

Muscle v5 is a major re-write of MUSCLE based on new algorithms.

Users should be aware that command line arguments compared to version 3.x of MUSCLE have changed!

Highest accuracy, scalable to thousands of sequences

Compared to previous versions, Muscle v5 is much more accurate, is often faster, and scales to much larger datasets. At the time of writing (late 2021), Muscle v5 has the highest scores on multiple alignment benchmarks including Balibase, Bralibase, Prefab and Balifam. It can align tens of thousands of sequences with high accuracy on a low-cost commodity computer (say, an 8-core Intel CPU with 32 Gb RAM). On large datasets, Muscle v5 is 20-30% more accurate than MAFFT and Clustal-Omega.

Alignment ensembles

Muscle v5 can generate ensembles of high-accuracy alternative alignments. All replicates have equal average accuracy on benchmark test, including the MSA made with default parameters. By comparing results of downstream analysis (trees, structure prediction...) on different replicates, you can assess the effects of alignment errors on your study.

Mustang is an algorithm to align multiple protein structures. Given a set of PDB files, the program uses the spatial information in the Calpha atoms of the set to produce a sequence alignment. Based on a progressive pairwise heuristic the algorithm then proceeds through a number of refinement passes. Mustang reports the multiple sequence alignment and the corresponding superposition of structures.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: mustang-testdata

NanoLyse is a tool for rapid removal of contaminant DNA, using the Minimap2 aligner through the mappy Python binding. A typical application would be the removal of the lambda phage control DNA fragment supplied by ONT, for which the reference sequence is included in the package. However, this approach may lead to unwanted loss of reads from regions highly homologous to the lambda phage genome.

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is the most widely used sequence similarity tool. There are versions of BLAST that compare protein queries to protein databases, nucleotide queries to nucleotide databases, as well as versions that translate nucleotide queries or databases in all six frames and compare to protein databases or queries. PSI-BLAST produces a position-specific-scoring-matrix (PSSM) starting with a protein query, and then uses that PSSM to perform further searches. It is also possible to compare a protein or nucleotide query to a database of PSSM’s. The NCBI supports a BLAST web page at blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov as well as a network service.

Entrez Direct (EDirect) is an advanced method for accessing NCBI's set of interconnected databases (publication, sequence, structure, gene, variation, expression, etc.) from a terminal window or script. Functions take search terms from command-line arguments. Individual operations are combined to build multi-step queries. Record retrieval and formatting normally complete the process.

EDirect also provides an argument-driven function that simplifies the extraction of data from document summaries or other results that are returned in structured XML format. This can eliminate the need for writing custom software to answer ad hoc questions. Queries can move seamlessly between EDirect commands and UNIX utilities or scripts to perform actions that cannot be accomplished entirely within Entrez.

Electronic PCR (e-PCR) is computational procedure that is used to identify sequence tagged sites(STSs), within DNA sequences. e-PCR looks for potential STSs in DNA sequences by searching for subsequences that closely match the PCR primers and have the correct order, orientation, and spacing that could represent the PCR primers used to generate known STSs.

The new version of e-PCR implements a fuzzy matching strategy. To reduce likelihood that a true STS will be missed due to mismatches, multiple discontiguous words may be used instead of a single exact word. Each of this word has groups of significant positions separated by 'wildcard' positions that are not required to match. In addition, it is also possible to allow gaps in the primer alignments.

The main motivation for implementing reverse searching (called Reverse e-PCR) was to make it feasible to search the human genome sequence and other large genomes. The new version of e-PCR provides a search mode using a query sequence against a sequence database.

This program is retired upstream and it is suggested to use Primer-Blast

instead.

ncbi-seg (a.k.a. SEG) is a program for identifying and masking segments of low compositional complexity in amino acid sequences.

ncbi-seg divides sequences into contrasting segments of low-complexity and high-complexity. Low-complexity segments defined by the algorithm represent "simple sequences" or "compositionally-biased regions".

This program is inappropriate for masking nucleotide sequences and, in fact, may strip some nucleotide ambiguity codes from nt. sequences as they are being read.

Ngmlr is a long-read mapper designed to sensitively align PacBilo or Oxford Nanopore to (large) reference genomes. It was designed to quickly and correctly align the reads, including those spanning (complex) structural variations. Ngmlr uses an SV aware k-mer search to find approximate mapping locations for a read and then a banded Smith- Waterman alignment algorithm to compute the final alignment. Ngmlr uses a convex gap cost model that penalizes gap extensions for longer gaps less than for shorter ones to compute precise alignments.

NORSnet can distinguish between very long contiguous segments with non-regular secondary structure (NORS regions) and well-folded proteins.

NORSnet was trained on predicted information rather than on experimental data. This allows NORSnet to reach into regions in sequence space that are not covered by specialized disorder predictors. One disadvantage of this approach is that it is not optimal for the identification of the "average" disordered region.

NORSnet takes the following input, further described on norsnet(1):

  • a protein sequence in a FASTA file
  • secondary structure and solvent accessibility prediction by prof(1)
  • an HSSP file
  • flexible/rigid residues prediction by profbval(1)

NORSp is a publicly available predictor for disordered regions in proteins. Specifically, it predicts long regions with no regular secondary structure. Upon submission of a protein sequence, NORSp analyses the protein about its secondary structure, the presence of transmembrane helices and coiled-coils. It then returns the presence and position of disordered regions.

NORSp can be useful for biologists in several ways. For example, crystallographers can check whether their proteins contain NORS regions and make the decision about whether to proceed with the experiments since NORS proteins may be difficult to crystallise, as demonstrated by the their low occurrence in PDB. Biologists interested in protein structure-function relationship may also find it interesting to verify whether the protein-protein interaction sites coincide with NORS regions.

PAL2NAL is a program that converts a multiple sequence alignment of proteins and the corresponding DNA (or mRNA) sequences into a codon-based DNA alignment. The program automatically assigns the corresponding codon sequence even if the input DNA sequence has mismatches with the input protein sequence, or contains UTRs, polyA tails. It can also deal with frame shifts in the input alignment, which is suitable for the analysis of pseudogenes. The resulting codon-based DNA alignment can further be subjected to the calculation of synonymous (Ks) and non-synonymous (Ka) substitution rates.

The PALEOMIX pipelines are a set of pipelines and tools designed to aid the rapid processing of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) data: The BAM pipeline processes de-multiplexed reads from one or more samples, through sequence processing and alignment, to generate BAM alignment files useful in downstream analyses; the Phylogenetic pipeline carries out genotyping and phylogenetic inference on BAM alignment files, either produced using the BAM pipeline or generated elsewhere; and the Zonkey pipeline carries out a suite of analyses on low coverage equine alignments, in order to detect the presence of F1-hybrids in archaeological assemblages. In addition, PALEOMIX aids in metagenomic analysis of the extracts.

The pipelines have been designed with ancient DNA (aDNA) in mind, and includes several features especially useful for the analyses of ancient samples, but can all be for the processing of modern samples, in order to ensure consistent data processing.

Paraclu finds clusters in data attached to sequences. It was first applied to transcription start counts in genome sequences, but it could be applied to other things too.

Paraclu is intended to explore the data, imposing minimal prior assumptions, and letting the data speak for itself.

One consequence of this is that paraclu can find clusters within clusters. Real data sometimes exhibits clustering at multiple scales: there may be large, rarefied clusters; and within each large cluster there may be several small, dense clusters.

Parsnp was designed to align the core genome of hundreds to thousands of bacterial genomes within a few minutes to few hours. Input can be both draft assemblies and finished genomes, and output includes variant (SNP) calls, core genome phylogeny and multi-alignments. Parsnp leverages contextual information provided by multi-alignments surrounding SNP sites for filtration/cleaning, in addition to existing tools for recombination detection/filtration and phylogenetic reconstruction.

pbdagcon is a tool that implements DAGCon (Directed Acyclic Graph Consensus) which is a sequence consensus algorithm based on using directed acyclic graphs to encode multiple sequence alignment.

It uses the alignment information from blasr to align sequence reads to a "backbone" sequence. Based on the underlying alignment directed acyclic graph (DAG), it will be able to use the new information from the reads to find the discrepancies between the reads and the "backbone" sequences. A dynamic programming process is then applied to the DAG to find the optimum sequence of bases as the consensus. The new consensus can be used as a new backbone sequence to iteratively improve the consensus quality.

While the code is developed for processing PacBio(TM) raw sequence data, the algorithm can be used for general consensus purpose. Currently, it only takes FASTA input. For shorter read sequences, one might need to adjust the blasr alignment parameters to get the alignment string properly.

The code and the underlying graphical data structure have been used for some algorithm development prototyping including phasing reads and pre-assembly.

PacBio DNA sequencers produce two types of characteristic reads: CCS (short and low error rate) and CLR (long and high error rate), both of which could be useful for de novo assembly of genomes. PBSIM simulates those PacBio reads from a reference sequence by using either a model-based or sampling-based simulation. Simulated reads are useful, for example, when developing or evaluating sequence assemblers targeted at PacBio data.

PHAST is a software package for comparative and evolutionary genomics. It consists of about half a dozen major programs, plus more than a dozen utilities for manipulating sequence alignments, phylogenetic trees, and genomic annotations. For the most part, PHAST focuses on two kinds of applications: the identification of novel functional elements, including protein-coding exons and evolutionarily conserved sequences; and statistical phylogenetic modeling, including estimation of model parameters, detection of signatures of selection, and reconstruction of ancestral sequences.

PHAST does not support phylogeny reconstruction or sequence alignment, and it is designed for use with DNA sequences only (see Comparison).

PhyBin is a simple command line tool that classifies a set of Newick tree files by their topology. The purpose of it is to take a large set of tree files and browse through the most common tree topologies.

It can do simple binning of identical trees or more complex clustering based on an all-to-all Robinson-Foulds distance matrix.

phybin produces output files that characterize the size and contents of each bin or cluster (including generating GraphViz-based visual representations of the tree topologies).

PhyML is a software that estimates maximum likelihood phylogenies from alignments of nucleotide or amino acid sequences. It provides a wide range of options that were designed to facilitate standard phylogenetic analyses. The main strengths of PhyML lies in the large number of substitution models coupled to various options to search the space of phylogenetic tree topologies, going from very fast and efficient methods to slower but generally more accurate approaches. It also implements two methods to evaluate branch supports in a sound statistical framework (the non-parametric bootstrap and the approximate likelihood ratio test).

PhyML was designed to process moderate to large data sets. In theory, alignments with up to 4,000 sequences 2,000,000 character-long can be analyzed. In practice however, the amount of memory required to process a data set is proportional of the product of the number of sequences by their length. Hence, a large number of sequences can only be processed provided that they are short. Also, PhyML can handle long sequences provided that they are not numerous. With most standard personal computers, the “comfort zone” for PhyML generally lies around 3 to 500 sequences less than 2,000 character long.

This package also includes PhyTime.

The PhySamp package currently contains two programs: bppphysamp, which samples sequences according to their similarity, and bppalnoptim, which samples a sequence alignment by removing sequences in order to maximize the number of sites suitable for a given analysis. The bppalnoptim program has three running modes:

  • Interactive: the user will be iteratively proposed a set of choices for sequence removal, with their corresponding site gains. The procedure stops when the user does not want to remove more sequences, and the resulting filtered alignment is written.
  • Automatic: the user enters an a priori criterion for stopping the filtering procedure (for instance a minimum number of sequences to keep).
  • Diagnostic: this mode allows one to plot the trade-off curve, by showing the site gain as a function of the number of removed sequences.

phyx provides a convenient, lightweight and inclusive toolkit consisting of programs spanning the wide breadth of programs utilized by researchers performing phylogenomic analyses. Modeled after Unix/GNU/Linux command line tools, individual programs perform a single task and operate on standard I/O streams. A result of this stream-centric approach is that, for most programs, only a single sequence or tree is in memory at any moment. Thus, large datasets can be processed with minimal memory requirements. phyx’s ever-growing complement of programs consists of over 35 programs focused on exploring, manipulating, analyzing and simulating phylogenetic objects (alignments, trees and MCMC logs). As with standard Unix command line tools, these programs can be piped (together with non-phyx tools), allowing the easy construction of efficient analytical pipelines.

The Nanopore is a device to determine the sequences of single moleculres of DNA. No amplification. The output is gigantic and tools like this one help to reduce it.

Over time, other means have substitute the need for this one. Upstream has halted development. Some tutorials and pipelines of the Nanopore still refer to it, though.

Pilon is a software tool which can be used to:

  • Automatically improve draft assemblies
  • Find variation among strains, including large event detection Pilon requires as input a FASTA file of the genome along with one or more BAM files of reads aligned to the input FASTA file. Pilon uses read alignment analysis to identify inconsistencies between the input genome and the evidence in the reads. It then attempts to make improvements to the input genome, including:

  • Single base differences

  • Small indels
  • Larger indel or block substitution events
  • Gap filling
  • Identification of local misassemblies, including optional opening of new gaps

The toolchain is composed of the following tools: 1. spliced_bam2gff - a tool for converting sorted BAM files containing spliced alignments into GFF2 format. Each read will be represented as a distinct transcript. This tool comes handy when visualizing spliced reads at particular loci and to provide input to the rest of the toolchain.

  1. cluster_gff - this tool takes a sorted GFF2 file as input and clusters together reads having similar exon/intron structure and creates a rough consensus of the clusters by taking the median of exon boundaries from all transcripts in the cluster.

  2. polish_clusters - this tool takes the cluster definitions generated by cluster_gff and for each cluster creates an error corrected read by mapping all reads on the read with the median length and polishing it using racon. The polished reads can be mapped to the genome using minimap2 or GMAP.

  3. collapse_partials - this tool takes GFFs generated by either cluster_gff or polish_clusters and filters out transcripts which are likely to be based on RNA degradation products from the 5' end. The tool clusters the input transcripts into "loci" by the 3' ends and discards transcripts which have a compatible transcripts in the loci with more exons.

PIQUE is a software pipeline for performing genome wide association studies (GWAS). The main function of PIQUE is to provide ‘convenience’ wrappers that allow users to perform GWAS using the popular program EMMAX (Kang et al., 2010) without the need to be familiar with all of the software tools used to generate the required EMMAX input files. PIQUE will also perform a number of quality control steps prior to running EMMAX, ensuring that the various input data files are in the correct format. PIQUE proceeds in two main stages although there are multiple entry and exit points from which the pipeline can be run. The first stage consists of running the “pique-input” program, which can read genotype and phenotype information in several different formats and generates all the necessary input files required to run EMMAX. The second step in the pipeline uses the “pique-run” program to actually run EMMAX using the files generated by “pique-input” (or pre-existing user-supplied input files) to perform the GWAS and output the analysis summary files.

The program pIRS can be used for simulating Illumina PE reads, with a series of characters generated by Illumina sequencing platform, such as insert size distribution, sequencing error(substitution, insertion, deletion), quality score and GC content-coverage bias.

The insert size follows a normal distribution, so users should set the mean value and standard deviation. Usually the standard deviation is set as 1/20 of the mean value. The normal distribution by Box-Muller method is simulated.

The program simulates sequencing error, quality score and GC content- coverage bias according to the empirical distribution profile. Some default profiles counted from lots of real sequencing data are provided.

To simulate reads from diploid genome, users should simulate the diploid genome sequence firstly by setting the ratio of heterozygosis SNP, heterozygosis InDel and structure variation.

For the interpretation of the transcriptome (the abundance and sequence of RNA) of tomour cells one is particularly interested in transcripts that cannot be mapped to single genes but that are seen to be fused as parts from two genes. Likely eplanations are chromosomal translocations.

Pizzly can identify novel such peculiarities, building on interpretations on variable splicing by the tool kallisto. Both tools are elements of the bcbio workflow.

PlasmidID is a mapping-based, assembly-assisted plasmid identification tool that analyzes and gives graphic solution for plasmid identification.

PlasmidID is a computational pipeline that maps Illumina reads over plasmid database sequences. The k-mer filtered, most covered sequences are clustered by identity to avoid redundancy and the longest are used as scaffold for plasmid reconstruction. Reads are assembled and annotated by automatic and specific annotation. All information generated from mapping, assembly, annotation and local alignment analyses is gathered and accurately represented in a circular image which allow user to determine plasmidic composition in any bacterial sample.

POA is Partial Order Alignment, a fast program for multiple sequence alignment (MSA) in bioinformatics. Its advantages are speed, scalability, sensitivity, and the superior ability to handle branching / indels in the alignment. Partial order alignment is an approach to MSA, which can be combined with existing methods such as progressive alignment. POA optimally aligns a pair of MSAs and which therefore can be applied directly to progressive alignment methods such as CLUSTAL. For large alignments, Progressive POA is 10-30 times faster than CLUSTALW.

Porechop is a tool for finding and removing adapters from Oxford Nanopore reads. Adapters on the ends of reads are trimmed off, and when a read has an adapter in its middle, it is treated as chimeric and chopped into separate reads. Porechop performs thorough alignments to effectively find adapters, even at low sequence identity. Porechop also supports demultiplexing of Nanopore reads that were barcoded with the Native Barcoding Kit, PCR Barcoding Kit or Rapid Barcoding Kit.

PRANK is a probabilistic multiple alignment program for DNA, codon and amino-acid sequences. It's based on a novel algorithm that treats insertions correctly and avoids over-estimation of the number of deletion events. In addition, PRANK borrows ideas from maximum likelihood methods used in phylogenetics and correctly takes into account the evolutionary distances between sequences. Lastly, PRANK allows for defining a potential structure for sequences to be aligned and then, simultaneously with the alignment, predicts the locations of structural units in the sequences.

PRANK is a command-line program for UNIX-style environments but the same sequence alignment engine is implemented in the graphical program PRANKSTER. In addition to providing a user-friendly interface to those not familiar with Unix systems, PRANKSTER is an alignment browser for alignments saved in the HSAML format. The novel format allows for storing all the information generated by the aligner and the alignment browser is a convenient way to analyse and manipulate the data.

PRANK aims at an evolutionarily correct sequence alignment and often the result looks different from ones generated with other alignment methods. There are, however, cases where the different look is caused by violations of the method's assumptions. To understand why things may go wrong and how to avoid that, read this explanation of differences between PRANK and traditional progressive alignment methods.

ProAlign performs probabilistic sequence alignments using hidden Markov models (HMM). It includes a graphical interface (GUI) allowing to (i) perform alignments of nucleotide or amino-acid sequences, (ii) view the quality of solutions, (iii) filter the unreliable alignment regions and (iv) export alignments to other software.

ProAlign uses a progressive method, such that multiple alignment is created stepwise by performing pairwise alignments in the nodes of a guide tree. Sequences are described with vectors of character probabilities, and each pairwise alignment reconstructs the ancestral (parent) sequence by computing the probabilities of different characters according to an evolutionary model.

Probalign uses partition function posterior probability estimates to compute maximum expected accuracy multiple sequence alignments. It performs statistically significantly better than the leading alignment programs Probcons v1.1, MAFFT v5.851, and MUSCLE v3.6 on BAliBASE 3.0, HOMSTRAD, and OXBENCH benchmarks. Probalign improvements are largest on datasets containing N/C terminal extensions and on datasets with long and heterogeneous length sequences. On heteregeneous length datasets containing repeats Probalign alignment accuracy is 10% and 15% higher than the other three methods when standard deviation of length is at least 300 and 400.

Tool for generating multiple alignments of protein sequences. Using a combination of probabilistic modeling and consistency-based alignment techniques, PROBCONS has achieved the highest accuracies of all alignment methods to date. On the BAliBASE benchmark alignment database, alignments produced by PROBCONS show statistically significant improvement over current programs, containing an average of 7% more correctly aligned columns than those of T-Coffee, 11% more correctly aligned columns than those of CLUSTAL W, and 14% more correctly aligned columns than those of DIALIGN.

Prodigal (Prokaryotic Dynamic Programming Genefinding Algorithm) is a microbial (bacterial and archaeal) gene finding program developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee. Key features of Prodigal include:

Speed: Prodigal is an extremely fast gene recognition tool (written in very vanilla C). It can analyze an entire microbial genome in 30 seconds or less.

Accuracy: Prodigal is a highly accurate gene finder. It correctly locates the 3' end of every gene in the experimentally verified Ecogene data set (except those containing introns). It possesses a very sophisticated ribosomal binding site scoring system that enables it to locate the translation initiation site with great accuracy (96% of the 5' ends in the Ecogene data set are located correctly).

Specificity: Prodigal's false positive rate compares favorably with other gene identification programs, and usually falls under 5%.

GC-Content Indifferent: Prodigal performs well even in high GC genomes, with over a 90% perfect match (5'+3') to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa curated annotations.

Metagenomic Version: Prodigal can run in metagenomic mode and analyze sequences even when the organism is unknown.

Ease of Use: Prodigal can be run in one step on a single genomic sequence or on a draft genome containing many sequences. It does not need to be supplied with any knowledge of the organism, as it learns all the properties it needs to on its own.

PROFbval can be useful for both protein structure and function predictions. For instance, a biologist can locate potentially antigenic determinants by identifying the most flexible residues on the protein surface. Additionally, a crystallographer can locate residues that potentially have high experimental B-values.

PROFbval takes the following input, further described on profbval(1):

  • a protein sequence in a FASTA file
  • secondary structure and solvent accessibility prediction by prof(1)
  • an HSSP file

Background: the mobility of a given residue on the protein surface is related to its functional role. Therefore, identification of extremely rigid or flexible residues on the protein surface is helpful for identifying functionally important residues in proteins. A common measure of atom mobility in proteins is B-value data from x-ray crystallography structures. PROFbval is the first tool to predict normalized backbone B-values from amino-acid sequence.

This package provides prof(1), the protein secondary structure, accessibility and transmembrane helix predictor from Burkhard Rost. Prediction is either done from protein sequence alone or from an alignment - the latter should be used for optimal performance.

How well does prof(1) perform?

  • Secondary structure is predicted at an expected average accuracy > 72% for the three states helix, strand and loop.

  • Solvent accessibility is predicted at a correlation coefficient (correlation between experimentally observed and predicted relative solvent accessibility) of 0.54

  • Transmembrane helix prediction has an expected per-residue accuracy of about 95%. The number of false positives, i.e., transmembrane helices predicted in globular proteins, is about 2%.

The mauveAligner and progressiveMauve alignment algorithms have been implemented as command-line programs included with the downloadable Mauve software. When run from the command-line, these programs provide options not yet available in the graphical interface.

Mauve is a system for efficiently constructing multiple genome alignments in the presence of large-scale evolutionary events such as rearrangement and inversion. Multiple genome alignment provides a basis for research into comparative genomics and the study of evolutionary dynamics. Aligning whole genomes is a fundamentally different problem than aligning short sequences.

Mauve has been developed with the idea that a multiple genome aligner should require only modest computational resources. It employs algorithmic techniques that scale well in the amount of sequence being aligned. For example, a pair of Y. pestis genomes can be aligned in under a minute, while a group of 9 divergent Enterobacterial genomes can be aligned in a few hours.

Mauve computes and interactively visualizes genome sequence comparisons. Using FastA or GenBank sequence data, Mauve constructs multiple genome alignments that identify large-scale rearrangement, gene gain, gene loss, indels, and nucleotide substutition.

Mauve is developed at the University of Wisconsin.

PROTTEST (ModelTest's relative) is a program for selecting the model of protein evolution that best fits a given set of sequences (alignment). This java program is based on the Phyml program (for maximum likelihood calculations and optimization of parameters) and uses the PAL library as well. Models included are empirical substitution matrices (such as WAG, LG, mtREV, Dayhoff, DCMut, JTT, VT, Blosum62, CpREV, RtREV, MtMam, MtArt, HIVb, and HIVw) that indicate relative rates of amino acid replacement, and specific improvements (+I:invariable sites, +G: rate heterogeneity among sites, +F: observed amino acid frequencies) to account for the evolutionary constraints impossed by conservation of protein structure and function. ProtTest uses the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and other statistics (AICc and BIC) to find which of the candidate models best fits the data at hand.

PROVEAN (Protein Variation Effect Analyzer) is a software tool which predicts whether an amino acid substitution or indel has an impact on the biological function of a protein.

PROVEAN is useful for filtering sequence variants to identify nonsynonymous or indel variants that are predicted to be functionally important.

The performance of PROVEAN is comparable to popular tools such as SIFT or PolyPhen-2.

A fast computation approach to obtain pairwise sequence alignment scores enabled the generation of precomputed PROVEAN predictions for 20 single AA substitutions and a single AA deletion at every amino acid position of all protein sequences in human and mouse.

Regulation of transcription is one of the main check points of gene expression regulation and plays a key role in fundamental processes like cellular differentiation and dynamic molecular responses to stimuli The transcriptional activity of genes is finely regulated by the interaction of sequence elements on the DNA (transcription factor binding sites or TFBSs) and particular proteins called Transcription Factors (TFs). , TFBSs are usually clustered in specific regulatory genomic regions called promoters and enhancers. TFs usually recognize TFBSs in a loose sequence specific fashion but there is no computational way to determine if any given sequence motif on the DNA is actually bound in-vivo by a TF, even when the motif is an istance of the sequences typically bound by the TF itself.

Tools like Pscan and PscanChIP analyse a set of regulatory sequences to detect motif enrichment. The rationale is that if a given TFBS is present in a "surpisingly high" number of istances then there is a good chance that the TF that recognize that motif is a common regulator of the input sequences, thus they use redundancy as an information source.

While Pscan (of the pscan-tfbs package) is tailored to work on promoters, that is the regulatory regions upstream of transcription start sites, PscanChIP is suited to work on more general regulatory genomic regions like the ones identified through ChIP-Seq experiments.

Pscan finds Over-represented Transcription Factor Binding Site Motifs in Sequences from Co-Regulated or Co-Expressed Genes.

Pscan is a software tool that scans a set of sequences (e.g. promoters) from co-regulated or co-expressed genes with motifs describing the binding specificity of known transcription factors and assesses which motifs are significantly over- or under-represented, providing thus hints on which transcription factors could be common regulators of the genes studied, together with the location of their candidate binding sites in the sequences. Pscan does not resort to comparisons with orthologous sequences and experimental results show that it compares favorably to other tools for the same task in terms of false positive predictions and computation time. The website is free and open to all users and there is no login requirement.

When a membrane is scanned perpendicularly to its surface, the fluorescence signal originating from the membrane itself must be separated from the signal of the surrounding medium for an FCS analysis. PyScanFCS interactively extracts the fluctuating fluorescence signal from such measurements and applies a multiple-tau algorithm. The obtained correlation curves can be evaluated using PyCorrFit.

TreeTime provides routines for ancestral sequence reconstruction and the maximum likelihoo inference of molecular-clock phylogenies, i.e., a tree where all branches are scaled such that the locations of terminal nodes correspond to their sampling times and internal nodes are placed at the most likely time of divergence.

TreeTime aims at striking a compromise between sophisticated probabilistic models of evolution and fast heuristics. It implements GTR models of ancestral inference and branch length optimization, but takes the tree topology as given. To optimize the likelihood of time-scaled phylogenies, treetime uses an iterative approach that first infers ancestral sequences given the branch length of the tree, then optimizes the positions of unconstraine d nodes on the time axis, and then repeats this cycle. The only topology optimization are (optional) resolution of polytomies in a way that is most (approximately) consistent with the sampling time constraints on the tree. The package is designed to be used as a stand-alone tool or as a library used in larger phylogenetic analysis workflows.

Features

  • ancestral sequence reconstruction (marginal and joint maximum likelihood)
  • molecular clock tree inference (marginal and joint maximum likelihood)
  • inference of GTR models
  • rerooting to obtain best root-to-tip regression
  • auto-correlated relaxed molecular clock (with normal prior)

This package provides the Python 3 module.

The Variant Call Format (VCF) specifies the format of a text file used in bioinformatics for storing gene sequence variations. The format has been developed with the advent of large-scale genotyping and DNA sequencing projects, such as the 1000 Genomes Project.

The intent of this module is to mimic the csv module in the Python stdlib, as opposed to more flexible serialization formats like JSON or YAML. vcf will attempt to parse the content of each record based on the data types specified in the meta-information lines -- specifically the ##INFO and ##FORMAT lines. If these lines are missing or incomplete, it will check against the reserved types mentioned in the spec. Failing that, it will just return strings.

This package provides helper scripts using python3-pyvcf.

Microbes are surrounding us, animals, plants and all their parasites with strong effect on these and the environment these live in. Soil quality comes to mind but also the effect that bacteria have on each other. Humans are influencing the absolute and relative abundance of bacteria by antibiotics, food, fertilizers - you name it - and these changes affect us.

QIIME 2 is a powerful, extensible, and decentralized microbiome analysis package with a focus on data and analysis transparency. QIIME 2 enables researchers to start an analysis with raw DNA sequence data and finish with publication-quality figures and statistical results. Key features:

  • Integrated and automatic tracking of data provenance
  • Semantic type system
  • Plugin system for extending microbiome analysis functionality
  • Support for multiple types of user interfaces (e.g. API, command line, graphical)

QIIME 2 is a complete redesign and rewrite of the QIIME 1 microbiome analysis pipeline. QIIME 2 will address many of the limitations of QIIME 1, while retaining the features that makes QIIME 1 a powerful and widely-used analysis pipeline.

QIIME 2 currently supports an initial end-to-end microbiome analysis pipeline. New functionality will regularly become available through QIIME 2 plugins. You can view a list of plugins that are currently available on the QIIME 2 plugin availability page. The future plugins page lists plugins that are being developed.

QuickTree is an efficient implementation of the Neighbor-Joining algorithm (PMID: 3447015), capable of reconstructing phylogenies from huge alignments in time less than the age of the universe.

QuickTree accepts both distance matrix and multiple-sequence-aligment inputs. The former should be in PHYLIP format. The latter should be in Stockholm format, which is the native alignment format for the Pfam database. Alignments in various formats can be converted to Stockholm format with the sreformat program, which is part of the HMMer package (hmmer.org).

The tress are written to stdout, in the Newick/New-Hampshire format use by PHYLIP and many other programs

QuorUM enables to obtain trimmed and error-corrected reads that result in assemblies with longer contigs and fewer errors. QuorUM provides best performance compared to other published error correctors in several metrics. QuorUM is efficiently implemented making use of current multi- core computing architectures and it is suitable for large data sets (1 billion bases checked and corrected per day per core). The third-party assembler (SOAPdenovo) benefits significantly from using QuorUM error- corrected reads. QuorUM error corrected reads result in a factor of 1.1 to 4 improvement in N50 contig size compared to using the original reads with SOAPdenovo for the data sets investigated.

The BitSeq package is targeted for transcript expression analysis and differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data in two stage process. In the first stage it uses Bayesian inference methodology to infer expression of individual transcripts from individual RNA-seq experiments. The second stage of BitSeq embraces the differential expression analysis of transcript expression. Providing expression estimates from replicates of multiple conditions, Log-Normal model of the estimates is used for inferring the condition mean transcript expression and ranking the transcripts based on the likelihood of differential expression.

This tool allows one to display very long data vectors in a space-efficient manner, by organising it along a 2D Hilbert curve. The user can then visually judge the large scale structure and distribution of features simultaenously with the rough shape and intensity of individual features.

In bioinformatics, a typical use case is ChIP-Chip and ChIP-Seq, or basically all the kinds of genomic data, that are conventionally displayed as quantitative track ("wiggle data") in genome browsers such as those provided by Ensembl or UCSC.

Microarrays are microscopic plates with carefully arranged short DNA strands and/or chemically prepared surfaces to which other DNA preferably binds. The amount of DNA binding at different locations of these chips, typically determined by a fluorescent dye, is to be interpreted. The technology is typically used with DNA that is derived from RNA, i.e to determine the activity of a gene and/or its splice variants. But the technology is also used to determine sequence variations in genomic DNA.

This Bioconductor package supports the analysis of gene expression microarray data, especially the use of linear models for analysing designed experiments and the assessment of differential expression. The package includes pre-processing capabilities for two-colour spotted arrays. The differential expression methods apply to all array platforms and treat Affymetrix, single channel and two channel experiments in a unified way.

Multi-Omics Factor Analysis: an unsupervised framework for the integration of multi-omics data sets.

Upstream no longer supports this package. This package only still ships to help with rerunning/comparing/transitioning existing projects. For new projects please upgrade to MOFA2 (MOFA+). Actually, also when adding new data to old projects, MOFA2 has further improved the handling of multiple factors, and to compensate for a batch effect that is likely introduced with additional data, may be an immediate use case for that new version.

This package provides functions for reading, writing, plotting, and manipulating phylogenetic trees, analyses of comparative data in a phylogenetic framework, ancestral character analyses, analyses of diversification and macroevolution, computing distances from DNA sequences, reading and writing nucleotide sequences as well as importing from BioConductor, and several tools such as Mantel's test, generalized skyline plots, graphical exploration of phylogenetic data (alex, trex, kronoviz), estimation of absolute evolutionary rates and clock-like trees using mean path lengths and penalized likelihood, dating trees with non-contemporaneous sequences, translating DNA into AA sequences, and assessing sequence alignments. Phylogeny estimation can be done with the NJ, BIONJ, ME, MVR, SDM, and triangle methods, and several methods handling incomplete distance matrices (NJ, BIONJ, MVR*, and the corresponding triangle method). Some functions call external applications (PhyML, Clustal, T-Coffee, Muscle) whose results are returned into R.

The package offers the R library GenABEL for the hunt of genetic contributions to a disease (or any other pheonypical trait) by so called genome-wide association analysis. Additional input commonly comes from DNA mircoarray experiments, performed on every individual, that determine differences (polymorphisms) in the population. GenABEL finds associations between quantitative or binary traits and single-nucleiotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Package 'GenABEL’ was removed from the CRAN repository. The code was obtained from the archive.

A wide range of functions for phylogenetic analysis. Functionality is concentrated in phylogenetic comparative biology, but also includes a diverse array of methods for visualizing, manipulating, reading or writing, and even inferring phylogenetic trees and data. Included among the functions in phylogenetic comparative biology are various for ancestral state reconstruction, model-fitting, simulation of phylogenies and data, and multivariate analysis. There are a broad range of plotting methods for phylogenies and comparative data which include, but are not restricted to, methods for mapping trait evolution on trees, for projecting trees into phenotypic space or a geographic map, and for visualizing correlated speciation between trees. Finally, there are a number of functions for reading, writing, analyzing, inferring, simulating, and manipulating phylogenetic trees and comparative data not covered by other packages. For instance, there are functions for randomly or non-randomly attaching species or clades to a phylogeny, for estimating supertrees or consensus phylogenies from a set, for simulating trees and phylogenetic data under a range of models, and for a wide variety of other manipulations and analyses that phylogenetic biologists might find useful in their research.

R/qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental crosses. It is implemented as an add-on-package for the freely available and widely used statistical language/software R (see http://www.r-project.org).

The development of this software as an add-on to R allows one to take advantage of the basic mathematical and statistical functions, and powerful graphics capabilities, that are provided with R. Further, the user will benefit by the seamless integration of the QTL mapping software into a general statistical analysis program. The goal is to make complex QTL mapping methods widely accessible and allow users to focus on modeling rather than computing.

A key component of computational methods for QTL mapping is the hidden Markov model (HMM) technology for dealing with missing genotype data. The main HMM algorithms, with allowance for the presence of genotyping errors, for backcrosses, intercrosses, and phase-known four-way crosses were implemented.

The current version of R/qtl includes facilities for estimating genetic maps, identifying genotyping errors, and performing single-QTL genome scans and two-QTL, two-dimensional genome scans, by interval mapping (with the EM algorithm), Haley-Knott regression, and multiple imputation. All of this may be done in the presence of covariates (such as sex, age or treatment). One may also fit higher-order QTL models by multiple imputation.

Provides a computational framework for Bayesian estimation of antigen-driven selection in immunoglobulin (Ig) sequences, providing an intuitive means of analyzing selection by quantifying the degree of selective pressure. Also provides tools to profile mutations in Ig sequences, build models of somatic hypermutation (SHM) in Ig sequences, and make model-dependent distance comparisons of Ig repertoires.

SHazaM is part of the Immcantation analysis framework for Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq) and provides tools for advanced analysis of somatic hypermutation (SHM) in immunoglobulin (Ig) sequences. Shazam focuses on the following analysis topics:

  • Quantification of mutational load SHazaM includes methods for determine the rate of observed and expected mutations under various criteria. Mutational profiling criteria include rates under SHM targeting models, mutations specific to CDR and FWR regions, and physicochemical property dependent substitution rates.
  • Statistical models of SHM targeting patterns Models of SHM may be divided into two independent components: 1) a mutability model that defines where mutations occur and 2) a nucleotide substitution model that defines the resulting mutation. Collectively these two components define an SHM targeting model. SHazaM provides empirically derived SHM 5-mer context mutation models for both humans and mice, as well tools to build SHM targeting models from data.
  • Analysis of selection pressure using BASELINe The Bayesian Estimation of Antigen-driven Selection in Ig Sequences (BASELINe) method is a novel method for quantifying antigen-driven selection in high-throughput Ig sequence data. BASELINe uses SHM targeting models can be used to estimate the null distribution of expected mutation frequencies, and provide measures of selection pressure informed by known AID targeting biases.
  • Model-dependent distance calculations SHazaM provides methods to compute evolutionary distances between sequences or set of sequences based on SHM targeting models. This information is particularly useful in understanding and defining clonal relationships.

Cells of the immune system are the grand exception to the rule that all cells of an individuum have (mostly exact) copies of the same DNA. B cells (which produce antibodies) and T cells (which communicate with cells) however have a section of their DNA with genes of the groups V, D and J that are reorganised within the genomic DNA to provide the flexibility to deal with yet unknown pathogens.

Summary: Infers the V genotype of an individual from immunoglobulin (Ig) repertoire-sequencing (Rep-Seq) data, including detection of any novel alleles. This information is then used to correct existing V allele calls from among the sample sequences.

High-throughput sequencing of B cell immunoglobulin receptors is providing unprecedented insight into adaptive immunity. A key step in analyzing these data involves assignment of the germline V, D and J gene segment alleles that comprise each immunoglobulin sequence by matching them against a database of known V(D)J alleles. However, this process will fail for sequences that utilize previously undetected alleles, whose frequency in the population is unclear.

TIgGER is a computational method that significantly improves V(D)J allele assignments by first determining the complete set of gene segments carried by an individual (including novel alleles) from V(D)J-rearrange sequences. TIgGER can then infer a subject’s genotype from these sequences, and use this genotype to correct the initial V(D)J allele assignments.

The application of TIgGER continues to identify a surprisingly high frequency of novel alleles in humans, highlighting the critical need for this approach. TIgGER, however, can and has been used with data from other species.

Core Abilities:

  • Detecting novel alleles
  • Inferring a subject’s genotype
  • Correcting preliminary allele calls

Required Input

  • A table of sequences from a single individual, with columns containing the following:
  • V(D)J-rearranged nucleotide sequence (in IMGT-gapped format)
  • Preliminary V allele calls
  • Preliminary J allele calls
  • Length of the junction region
  • Germline Ig sequences in IMGT-gapped fasta format (e.g., as those downloaded from IMGT/GENE-DB)

The former can be created through the use of IMGT/HighV-QUEST and Change-O.

Happy is an R interface into the HAPPY C package for fine-mapping Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) in Heterogenous Stocks (HS). An HS is an advanced intercross between (usually eight) founder inbred strains of mice. HS are suitable for fine-mapping QTL. It uses a multipoint analysis which offers significant improvements in statistical power to detect QTLs over that achieved by single-marker association.

The happy package is an extension of the original C program happy; it uses the C code to compute the probability of descent from each of the founders, at each locus position, but the happy packager allows a much richer range of models to be fit to the data.

Racon is intended as a standalone consensus module to correct raw contigs generated by rapid assembly methods which do not include a consensus step. The goal of Racon is to generate genomic consensus which is of similar or better quality compared to the output generated by assembly methods which employ both error correction and consensus steps, while providing a speedup of several times compared to those methods. It supports data produced by both Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore Technologies.

Racon can be used as a polishing tool after the assembly with either Illumina data or data produced by third generation of sequencing. The type of data inputed is automatically detected.

Racon takes as input only three files: contigs in FASTA/FASTQ format, reads in FASTA/FASTQ format and overlaps/alignments between the reads and the contigs in MHAP/PAF/SAM format. Output is a set of polished contigs in FASTA format printed to stdout. All input files can be compressed with gzip.

Racon can also be used as a read error-correction tool. In this scenario, the MHAP/PAF/SAM file needs to contain pairwise overlaps between reads including dual overlaps.

A wrapper script is also available to enable easier usage to the end- user for large datasets. It has the same interface as racon but adds two additional features from the outside. Sequences can be subsampled to decrease the total execution time (accuracy might be lower) while target sequences can be split into smaller chunks and run sequentially to decrease memory consumption. Both features can be run at the same time as well.

Ragout (Reference-Assisted Genome Ordering UTility) is a tool for chromosome-level scaffolding using multiple references. Given initial assembly fragments (contigs/scaffolds) and one or multiple related references (complete or draft), it produces a chromosome-scale assembly (as a set of scaffolds).

The approach is based on the analysis of genome rearrangements (like inversions or chromosomal translocations) between the input genomes and reconstructing the most parsimonious structure of the target genome.

Ragout now supports both small and large genomes (of mammalian scale and complexity). The assembly of highly polymorphic genomes is currently limited.

RapMap is a testing ground for ideas in quasi-mapping / (lightweight / pseudo) transcriptome alignment. That means that, at this point, it is somewhat experimental. The develop branch will have the latest improvements and additions, but is not guaranteed to be stable between commits. Breaking changes to the master branch will be accompanied by a tag to the version before the breaking change. Currently, RapMap is a stand-alone quasi-mapper that can be used with other tools. It is also being used as part of Sailfish and Salmon. Eventually, the hope is to create and stabilize an API so that it can be used as a library from other tools.

Quasi-mapping / (lightweight / pseudo)-alignment is the term that is used here for the type of information required for certain tasks (e.g. transcript quantification) that is less "heavyweight" than what is provided by traditional alignment. For example, one may only need to know the transcripts / contigs to which a read aligns and, perhaps, the position within those transcripts rather than the optimal alignment and base-for-base CIGAR string that aligns the read and substring of the transcript. For details on RapMap (quasi-mapping in particular), please check out the associated paper. Note: RapMap implements both quasi- mapping and pseudo-alignment (originally introduced in Bray et al. 2016), these two are not the same thing. They are distinct concepts, and RapMap simply happens to implement algorithms for computing both.

Raster3D is a set of tools for generating high quality raster images of proteins or other molecules. The core program renders spheres, triangles, cylinders, and quadric surfaces with specular highlighting, Phong shading, and shadowing. It uses an efficient software Z-buffer algorithm which is independent of any graphics hardware. Ancillary programs process atomic coordinates from PDB files into rendering descriptions for pictures composed of ribbons, space-filling atoms, bonds, ball+stick, etc. Raster3D can also be used to render pictures composed in other programs such as Molscript in glorious 3D with highlights, shadowing, etc. Output is to pixel image files with 24 bits of color information per pixel.

Rate4Site calculates the relative evolutionary rate at each site using a probabilistic-based evolutionary model. This allows taking into account the stochastic process underlying sequence evolution within protein families and the phylogenetic tree of the proteins in the family. The conservation score at a site corresponds to the site's evolutionary rate.

This package is inspired by the demultiplexing options in porechop but without the adapter trimming options - it just demuxes. It uses the parasail library with its Python bindings to do pairwise alignment which provides a considerable speed up over the seqan library used by porechop due to its low-level use of vector processor instructions.

REAPR is a tool that evaluates the accuracy of a genome assembly using mapped paired end reads, without the use of a reference genome for comparison. It can be used in any stage of an assembly pipeline to automatically break incorrect scaffolds and flag other errors in an assembly for manual inspection. It reports mis-assemblies and other warnings, and produces a new broken assembly based on the error calls.

The software requires as input an assembly in FASTA format and paired reads mapped to the assembly in a BAM file. Mapping information such as the fragment coverage and insert size distribution is analysed to locate mis-assemblies. REAPR works best using mapped read pairs from a large insert library (at least 1000bp). Additionally, if a short insert Illumina library is also available, REAPR can combine this with the large insert library in order to score each base of the assembly.

The RECON package implements a de novo algorithm for the identification of repeat families from biological sequences.

The program implements an approach for the de novo identification and classification of repeat sequence families that is based on extensions to the usual approach of single linkage clustering of local pairwise alignments between genomic sequences. The extensions use multiple alignment information to define the boundaries of individual copies of the repeats and to distinguish homologous but distinct repeat element families. When tested on the human genome, this approach was able to properly identify and group known transposable elements. The program, should be useful for first-pass automatic classification of repeats in newly sequenced genomes.

Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference (STAR) software based on a previously undescribed RNA-seq alignment algorithm that uses sequential maximum mappable seed search in uncompressed suffix arrays followed by seed clustering and stitching procedure. STAR outperforms other aligners by a factor of >50 in mapping speed, aligning to the human genome 550 million 2 × 76 bp paired-end reads per hour on a modest 12-core server, while at the same time improving alignment sensitivity and precision. In addition to unbiased de novo detection of canonical junctions, STAR can discover non-canonical splices and chimeric (fusion) transcripts, and is also capable of mapping full-length RNA sequences. Using Roche 454 sequencing of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction amplicons, the authors experimentally validated 1960 novel intergenic splice junctions with an 80-90% success rate, corroborating the high precision of the STAR mapping strategy.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Roary is a high speed stand alone pan genome pipeline, which takes annotated assemblies in GFF3 format (as produced, for instance, by Prokka) and calculates the pan genome. Using a standard desktop PC, it can analyse datasets with thousands of samples, something which is computationally infeasible with existing methods, without compromising the quality of the results. 128 samples can be analysed in under 1 hour using 1 GB of RAM and a single processor. To perform this analysis using existing methods would take weeks and hundreds of GB of RAM. Roary is not intended for meta-genomics or for comparing extremely diverse sets of genomes.

RSEM is a software package for estimating gene and isoform expression levels from RNA-Seq data. The RSEM package provides an user-friendly interface, supports threads for parallel computation of the EM algorithm, single-end and paired-end read data, quality scores, variable-length reads and RSPD estimation. In addition, it provides posterior mean and 95% credibility interval estimates for expression levels. For visualization, It can generate BAM and Wiggle files in both transcript-coordinate and genomic-coordinate. Genomic-coordinate files can be visualized by both UCSC Genome browser and Broad Institute’s Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV). Transcript-coordinate files can be visualized by IGV. RSEM also has its own scripts to generate transcript read depth plots in pdf format. The unique feature of RSEM is, the read depth plots can be stacked, with read depth contributed to unique reads shown in black and contributed to multi-reads shown in red. In addition, models learned from data can also be visualized. Last but not least, RSEM contains a simulator.

SAINT implements the scoring algorithm for protein-protein interaction data using label free quantitative proteomics data in AP-MS experiments. It was used for spectral count data in the yeast kinase interactome work not incorporating control purification, as well as a generalized implementation for spectral count data with and without control purification.

Alternatively, you can also run SAINT in combination with ProHits.

The package was written for either doing analysis without or with control IPs and

Salmon is a wicked-fast program to produce a highly-accurate, transcript-level quantification estimates from RNA-seq data. Salmon achieves is accuracy and speed via a number of different innovations, including the use of lightweight alignments (accurate but fast-to-compute proxies for traditional read alignments) and massively-parallel stochastic collapsed variational inference. The result is a versatile tool that fits nicely into many different pipelines. For example, you can choose to make use of the lightweight alignments by providing Salmon with raw sequencing reads, or, if it is more convenient, you can provide Salmon with regular alignments (e.g. computed with your favorite aligner), and it will use the same wicked-fast, state-of-the-art inference algorithm to estimate transcript-level abundances for your experiment.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Current "next-generation" sequencing technologies cannot tell what exact sequence they will be reading. They take what is available. And if some sequences are read very often, then this needs some extra biomedical thinking. The genome could for instance be duplicated.

samblaster is a fast and flexible program for marking duplicates in read-id grouped paired-end SAM files. It can also optionally output discordant read pairs and/or split read mappings to separate SAM files, and/or unmapped/clipped reads to a separate FASTQ file. When marking duplicates, samblaster will require approximately 20MB of memory per 1M read pairs.

Most short read aligners perform local alignment of reads to the reference genome. Examples includes bwa mem, minimap2, and bowtie2 (unless in --end-to-end mode). This means the ends of the read may not be part of the best alignment.

This can be caused by:

  • adapter sequences (aren't in the reference)
  • poor quality bases (mismatches only make the alignment score worse)
  • structural variation in your sample compared to the reference
  • reads overlapping the start and end of contigs (including circular genomes)

Read aligners output a SAM file. Column 6 in this format stores the CIGAR string. which describes which parts of the read aligned and which didn't. The unaligned ends of the read can be "soft" or "hard" clipped, denoted with S and H at each end of the CIGAR string. It is possible for both types to be present, but that is not common. Soft and hard don't mean anything biologically, they just refer to whether the full read sequence is in the SAM file or not.

The Nanopore is a device for DNA/RNA sequencing that does not require an amplification of the material. The polynucleotides are threaded through a pore and while these pass through, the change in the electrostatic potential allows one to identify ("call") the actual base that resides in the pore. Scrappie goes a step further and also attempts to describe modifications to the nucleic acid.

scrm simulates the evolution of genetic sequences.

It takes a neutral evolutionary model as input, and generates random sequences that evolved under the model. As coalescent simulator, it traces the ancestry of the sampled sequences backwards in time and is therefore extremely efficient. Compared to other coalescent simulators, it can simulate chromosome-scale sequences without a measureable reduction of genetic linkage between different sites.

SeaView is a viewer and editor of multiple sequence alignments, i.e. DNA or protein sequences are positioned each in their own separate line, such that the nucleotide/amino acid at a particular position (column) is presumed to have the same biochemical property.

SeaView reads and writes various file formats (NEXUS, MSF, CLUSTAL, FASTA, PHYLIP, MASE, Newick) of DNA and protein sequences and of phylogenetic trees. Alignments can be manually edited. It drives the programs Muscle or Clustal Omega for multiple sequence alignment, and also allows one to use any external alignment algorithm able to read and write FASTA-formatted files. It computes phylogenetic trees by parsimony using PHYLIP's dnapars/protpars algorithm, by distance with NJ or BioNJ algorithms on a variety of evolutionary distances, or by maximum likelihood using the program PhyML 3.0.

SeaView draws phylogenetic trees on screen or PostScript files, and allows one to download sequences from EMBL/GenBank/UniProt using the Internet.

Bacterial genomes vary extensively in terms of both gene content and gene sequence - this plasticity hampers the use of traditional SNP-based methods for identifying all genetic associations with phenotypic variation. SEER provides a computationally scalable and widely applicable statistical method for the identification of sequence elements that are significantly enriched in a phenotype of interest. SEER is applicable to even tens of thousands of genomes by counting variable- length k-mers using a distributed string-mining algorithm. Robust options are provided for association analysis that also correct for the clonal population structure of bacteria. Using large collections of genomes of the major human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, SEER identifies relevant previously characterised resistance determinants for several antibiotics.

Segemehl is a software to map short sequencer reads to reference genomes. Segemehl implements a matching strategy based on enhanced suffix arrays (ESA). Segemehl accepts fasta and fastq queries (gzip'ed and bgzip'ed). In addition to the alignment of reads from standard DNA- and RNA-seq protocols, it also allows the mapping of bisulfite converted reads (Lister and Cokus) and implements a split read mapping strategy. The output of segemehl is a SAM or BAM formatted alignment file. In the case of split-read mapping, additional BED files are written to the disc. These BED files may be summarized with the postprocessing tool haarz. In the case of the alignment of bisulfite converted reads, raw methylation rates may also be called with haarz.

In brief, for each suffix of a read, segemehl aims to find the best-scoring seed. Seeds might contain insertions, deletions, and mismatches (differences). The number of differences allowed within a single seed is user-controlled and is crucial for the runtime of the program. Subsequently, seeds that undercut the user-defined E-value are passed on to an exact semi-global alignment procedure. Finally, reads with a minimum accuracy of percent are reported to the user.

Needle is a tool for semi-quantitative analysis of very large collections of nucleotide sequences.

Needle stores its data in multiple interleaved Bloom filter, a fast and space efficient probabilistic data structure and uses a windowing scheme (also called minimisers) to reduce the amount of data to store. How many interleaved Bloom filter are used is defined by the user. Each interleaved Bloom filter has a so called expression threshold and stores minimisers with an occurrence greater than or equal to its own expression threshold and smaller than the next biggest expression threshold (if there is no bigger expression threshold, all greater than or equal to the threshold are stored). These expression thresholds are then used during the query (called estimate) to approximate the expression values of given transcripts.

Raptor is a system for approximately searching many queries such as next-generation sequencing reads or transcripts in large collections of nucleotide sequences. Raptor uses winnowing minimizers to define a set of representative k-mers, an extension of the interleaved Bloom filters (IBFs) as a set membership data structure and probabilistic thresholding for minimizers. This approach allows compression and partitioning of the IBF to enable the effective use of secondary memory.

SeqPrep is a program to merge paired end Illumina reads that are overlapping into a single longer read. It may also just be used for its adapter trimming feature without doing any paired end overlap. When an adapter sequence is present, that means that the two reads must overlap (in most cases) so they are forcefully merged. When reads do not have adapter sequence they must be treated with care when doing the merging, so a much more specific approach is taken. The default parameters were chosen with specificity in mind, so that they could be ran on libraries where very few reads are expected to overlap. It is always safest though to save the overlapping procedure for libraries where you have some prior knowledge that a significant portion of the reads will have some overlap.

SeqSero is a pipeline for Salmonella serotype determination from raw sequencing reads or genome assemblies.

SeqSero is a novel tool for determining Salmonella serotypes using high- throughput genome sequencing data. SeqSero is based on curated databases of Salmonella serotype determinants (rfb gene cluster, fliC and fljB alleles) and is predicted to determine serotype rapidly and accurately for nearly the full spectrum of Salmonella serotypes (more than 2,300 serotypes), from both raw sequencing reads and genome assemblies. The performance of SeqSero was evaluated by testing

 1. raw reads from genomes of 308 Salmonella isolates of known serotype
 2. raw reads from genomes of 3,306 Salmonella isolates sequenced and
    made publicly available by GenomeTrakr, a U.S. national monitoring
    network operated by the Food and Drug Administration; and
 3. 354 other publicly available draft or complete Salmonella genomes.
SeqSero can help to maintain the well-established utility of Salmonella

serotyping when integrated into a platform of WGS-based pathogen subtyping and characterization.

De novo assembly from Oxford Nanopore reads. The goal of the Shasta long read assembler is to rapidly produce accurate assembled sequence using as input DNA reads generated by Oxford Nanopore flow cells.

Computational methods used by the Shasta assembler include:

  • Using a run-length representation of the read sequence. This makes the assembly process more resilient to errors in homopolymer repeat counts, which are the most common type of errors in Oxford Nanopore reads.

  • Using in some phases of the computation a representation of the read sequence based on markers, a fixed subset of short k-mers (k ≈ 10).

Shasta assembly quality is comparable or better than assembly quality achieved by other long read assemblers.

This package contains the executable binaries (tools) and accommodating scripts.

Most modern sequencing technologies produce reads that have deteriorating quality towards the 3'-end. Incorrectly called bases here negatively impact assembles, mapping, and downstream bioinformatics analyses.

Sickle is a tool that uses sliding windows along with quality and length thresholds to determine when quality is sufficiently low to trim the 3'-end of reads. It will also discard reads based upon the length threshold. It takes the quality values and slides a window across them whose length is 0.1 times the length of the read. If this length is less than 1, then the window is set to be equal to the length of the read. Otherwise, the window slides along the quality values until the average quality in the window drops below the threshold. At that point the algorithm determines where in the window the drop occurs and cuts both the read and quality strings there. However, if the cut point is less than the minimum length threshold, then the read is discarded entirely.

Sickle supports four types of quality values: Illumina, Solexa, Phred, and Sanger. Note that the Solexa quality setting is an approximation (the actual conversion is a non-linear transformation). The end approximation is close.

Sickle also supports gzipped file inputs.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Sigma (“Simple greedy multiple alignment”) is an alignment program. It's algorithm and scoring scheme are designed specifically for non-coding DNA sequence.

It uses a strategy of seeking the best possible gapless local alignments. This happens at each step making the best possible alignment consistent with existing alignments. It scores the significance of the alignment based on the lengths of the aligned fragments and a background model. These may be supplied or estimated from an auxiliary file of intergenic DNA.

sim4 is a similarity-based tool for aligning an expressed DNA sequence (EST, cDNA, mRNA) with a genomic sequence for the gene. It also detects end matches when the two input sequences overlap at one end (i.e., the start of one sequence overlaps the end of the other).

sim4 employs a blast-based technique to first determine the basic matching blocks representing the "exon cores". In this first stage, it detects all possible exact matches of W-mers (i.e., DNA words of size W) between the two sequences and extends them to maximal scoring gap-free segments. In the second stage, the exon cores are extended into the adjacent as-yet-unmatched fragments using greedy alignment algorithms, and heuristics are used to favor configurations that conform to the splice-site recognition signals (GT-AG, CT-AC). If necessary, the process is repeated with less stringent parameters on the unmatched fragments.

Sim4db performs fast batch alignment of large cDNA (EST, mRNA) sequence sets to a set of eukaryotic genomic regions. It uses the sim4 and sim4cc algorithms to determine the alignments, but incorporates a fast sequence indexing and retrieval mechanism, implemented in the sister package 'leaff', to speedily process large volumes of sequences.

While sim4db produces alignments in the same way as sim4 or sim4cc, it has additional features to make it more amenable for use with whole-genome annotation pipelines. A script file can be used to group pairings between cDNAs and their corresponding genomic regions, to be aligned as one run and using the same set of parameters. Sim4db also optionally reports more than one alignment for the same cDNA within a genomic region, as long as they meet user-defined criteria such as minimum length, percentage sequence identity or coverage. This feature is instrumental in finding all alignments of a gene family at one locus. Lastly, the output is presented either as custom sim4db alignments or as GFF3 gene features.

This package is part of the Kmer suite.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: kmer-examples

The difference with Simka stands in the fact that SimkaMin outputs approximate (but very similar) results by subsampling the kmer space. With this strategy, and with default parameters, SimkaMin is an order of magnitude faster, uses 10 times less memory and 70 times less disk than Simka.

SKA (Split Kmer Analysis) is a toolkit for prokaryotic (and any other small, haploid) DNA sequence analysis using split kmers. A split kmer is a pair of kmers in a DNA sequence that are separated by a single base. Split kmers allow rapid comparison and alignment of small genomes, and is particulalry suited for surveillance or outbreak investigation. SKA can produce split kmer files from fasta format assemblies or directly from fastq format read sequences, cluster them, align them with or without a reference sequence and provide various comparison and summary statistics. Currently all testing has been carried out on high-quality Illumina read data, so results for other platforms may vary.

SKESA is a DeBruijn graph-based de-novo assembler designed for assembling reads of microbial genomes sequenced using Illumina. Comparison with SPAdes and MegaHit shows that SKESA produces assemblies that have high sequence quality and contiguity, handles low-level contamination in reads, is fast, and produces an identical assembly for the same input when assembled multiple times with the same or different compute resources. SKESA has been used for assembling over 272,000 read sets in the Sequence Read Archive at NCBI and for real-time pathogen detection.

SMALT efficiently aligns DNA sequencing reads with a reference genome. Reads from a wide range of sequencing platforms, for example Illumina, Roche-454, Ion Torrent, PacBio or ABI-Sanger, can be processed including paired reads.

The software employs a perfect hash index of short words (< 20 nucleotides long), sampled at equidistant steps along the genomic reference sequences.

For each read, potentially matching segments in the reference are identified from seed matches in the index and subsequently aligned with the read using a banded Smith-Waterman algorithm.

The best gapped alignments of each read is reported including a score for the reliability of the best mapping. The user can adjust the trade-off between sensitivity and speed by tuning the length and spacing of the hashed words.

A mode for the detection of split (chimeric) reads is provided. Multi-threaded program execution is supported.

Remark of Debian Med team: This can be regarded as successor of ssaha2

This program is from the same author as ssaha2 and according to its author faster and more precise than ssaha2 (except for sequences > 2000bp).

The Smith–Waterman algorithm performs local sequence alignment; that is, for determining similar regions between two strings or nucleotide or protein sequences. Instead of looking at the total sequence, the Smith–Waterman algorithm compares segments of all possible lengths and optimizes the similarity measure.

SNAP is a new sequence aligner that is 3-20x faster and just as accurate as existing tools like BWA-mem, Bowtie2 and Novoalign. It runs on commodity x86 processors, and supports a rich error model that lets it cheaply match reads with more differences from the reference than other tools. This gives SNAP up to 2x lower error rates than existing tools (in some cases) and lets it match larger mutations that they may miss. SNAP also natively reads BAM, FASTQ, or gzipped FASTQ, and natively writes SAM or BAM, with built-in sorting, duplicate marking, and BAM indexing.

Snippy finds SNPs between a haploid reference genome and your NGS sequence reads. It will find both substitutions (snps) and insertions/deletions (indels). It will use as many CPUs as you can give it on a single computer (tested to 64 cores). It is designed with speed in mind, and produces a consistent set of output files in a single folder. It can then take a set of Snippy results using the same reference and generate a core SNP alignment (and ultimately a phylogenomic tree).

This program finds single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites from multi-fasta alignment input files (which might be compressed). Its output can be in various widely used formats (Multi Fasta Alignment, Vcf, phylip).

The software has been developed at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

A Single Nucleotide - polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip; plural snips) is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a Single Nucleotide — A, T, C or G — in the genome (or other shared sequence) differs between members of a biological species or paired chromosomes. For example, two sequenced DNA fragments from different individuals, AAGCCTA to AAGCTTA, contain a difference in a single nucleotide. In this case there are two alleles. Almost all common SNPs have only two alleles.

"We are all different!" Geneticists agree to this. Even twins, who are said to be identical are on a molecular level only "mostly" identical. And even within the exact same individual, healthy cells acquire mutations such that we are all genetic mosaics. Changes to individual cells may be induced by environmental factors, e.g. like UV light, or happen sporadically as mishaps during cellular divisions.

Because there are so many genetic differences, and most have just no particular meaning for the development of a phenotype, i.e. most have no effect, it would be nice to have heuristics implemented that direct the researcher towards single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are most likely to be relevant. This identifies the gene that causes or contributes to, e.g, an illness, and possibly also genes that are affected by that change. Such mechanistic understanding of a disease, particularly when multiple genes and multiple genetic variants are contributing to the then "polygenic" phenotype, is at the onset of drug development and increasingly also for selecting individualized therapies in the clinic.

SnpEff is a variant annotation and effect prediction tool. It annotates and predicts the effects of variants on genes (such as amino acid changes). The inputs are predicted variants (SNPs, insertions, deletions and MNPs). The input file is usually obtained as a result of a sequencing experiment, and it is usually in variant call format (VCF).

SnpEff analyzes the input variants. It annotates the variants and calculates the effects they produce on known genes (e.g. amino acid changes).

SnpSift is a toolbox that allows one to filter and manipulate annotated files. Once the genomic variants have been annotated, one needs to filter them out in order to find the "interesting / relevant variants". Given the large data files, this is not a trivial task (e.g. one cannot load all the variants into XLS spreadsheet). SnpSift helps to perform this VCF file manipulation and filtering required at this stage in data processing pipelines.

This package addresses a common problem in bioinformatics that has become routine now also in clinical research: the assembly and comparison of the very long genomic DNA sequences from many short reads that the machines provide.

SOAPaligner/soap2 is a member of the Short Oligonucleotide Analysis Package (SOAP) and an updated version of SOAP software for short oligonucleotide alignment (soap v1). The new program features in super fast and accurate alignment for huge amounts of short reads generated by Illumina/Solexa Genome Analyzer. Compared to soap v1, it is one order of magnitude faster. It require only 2 minutes aligning one million single-end reads onto the human reference genome. Another remarkable improvement of SOAPaligner is that it now supports a wide range of the read length.

SOAPaligner/soap2 benefitted in time and space efficiency by a revolution in the basic data structures and algorithms used. The core algorithms and the indexing data structures (2way-BWT) are developed by the algorithms research group of the Department of Computer Science, the University of Hong Kong (T.W. Lam, Alan Tam, Simon Wong, Edward Wu and S.M. Yiu).

For getting ideas on the cause of diseases or their response to therapy, and for understanding either for a particular patient, doctors around the globe are starting to look at the genes or the whole genome and how that sequence is different from a healthy / well responding individual.

SOAPsnp is a member of the SOAP (Short Oligonucleotide Analysis Package). The program is a resequencing utility. It assembles the consensus sequence for the genome of a newly sequenced individual based on the alignment of the raw sequencing reads on a known reference. SNPs can then be identified on the consensus sequence through the comparison with the reference.

SOAPsnp uses a method based on Bayes' theorem (the reverse probability model) to call consensus genotype by carefully considering the data quality, alignment, and recurring experimental errors. All these kinds of information was integrated into a single quality score for each base in PHRED scale to measure the accuracy of consensus calling. Currently, it supports the alignment format of SOAPaligner (soap2).

SortMeRNA is a biological sequence analysis tool for filtering, mapping and OTU-picking NGS reads. The core algorithm is based on approximate seeds and allows for fast and sensitive analyses of nucleotide sequences. The main application of SortMeRNA is filtering rRNA from metatranscriptomic data. Additional applications include OTU-picking and taxonomy assignation available through QIIME v1.9+ (http://qiime.org - v1.9.0-rc1). SortMeRNA takes as input a file of reads (fasta or fastq format) and one or multiple rRNA database file(s), and sorts apart rRNA and rejected reads into two files specified by the user. Optionally, it can provide high quality local alignments of rRNA reads against the rRNA database. SortMeRNA works with Illumina, 454, Ion Torrent and PacBio data, and can produce SAM and BLAST-like alignments.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Spaced (Words) is a new approach to alignment-free sequence comparison. While most alignment-free algorithms compare the word-composition of sequences, spaced uses a pattern of care and don't care positions. The occurrence of a spaced word in a sequence is then defined by the characters at the match positions only, while the characters at the don't care positions are ignored. Instead of comparing the frequencies of contiguous words in the input sequences, this new approach compares the frequencies of the spaced words according to the pre-defined pattern. An information-theoretic distance measure is then used to define pairwise distances on the set of input sequences based on their spaced-word frequencies. Systematic test runs on real and simulated sequence sets have shown that, for phylogeny reconstruction, this multiple-spaced-words approach is far superior to the classical alignment-free approach based on contiguous word frequencies.

The SPAdes – St. Petersburg genome assembler is intended for both standard isolates and single-cell MDA bacteria assemblies. It works with Illumina or IonTorrent reads and is capable of providing hybrid assemblies using PacBio and Sanger reads. You can also provide additional contigs that will be used as long reads.

This package provides the following additional pipelines:

  • metaSPAdes – a pipeline for metagenomic data sets
  • plasmidSPAdes – a pipeline for extracting and assembling plasmids from WGS data sets
  • metaplasmidSPAdes – a pipeline for extracting and assembling plasmids from metagenomic data sets
  • rnaSPAdes – a de novo transcriptome assembler from RNA-Seq data
  • truSPAdes – a module for TruSeq barcode assembly
  • biosyntheticSPAdes – a module for biosynthetic gene cluster assembly with paired-end reads

SPAdes provides several stand-alone binaries with relatively simple command-line interface: k-mer counting (spades-kmercounter), assembly graph construction (spades-gbuilder) and long read to graph aligner (spades-gmapper).

Spaln (space-efficient spliced alignment) is a stand-alone program that maps and aligns a set of cDNA or protein sequences onto a whole genomic sequence in a single job. It also performs spliced or ordinary alignment after rapid similarity search against a protein sequence database, if a genomic segment or an amino acid sequence is given as a query.

spaln supports a combination of protein sequence database and a given genomic segment and performs rapid similarity searches and (semi-)global alignments of a set of protein sequence queries against a protein sequence database. Spaln adopts multi-phase heuristics that makes it possible to perform the job on a conventional personal computer.

Sprai is a tool to correct sequencing errors in single-pass reads for de novo assembly. It is originally designed for correcting sequencing errors in single-molecule DNA sequencing reads, especially in Continuous Long Reads (CLRs) generated by PacBio RS sequencers. The goal of Sprai is not maximizing the accuracy of error-corrected reads. Instead, Sprai aims at maximizing the continuity (i.e., N50 contig length) of assembled contigs after error correction.

SPREAD is a user-friendly application to analyze and visualize phylogeographic reconstructions resulting from Bayesian inference of spatio-temporal diffusion.

There is a tutorial for SPREAD online at http://www.kuleuven.be/aidslab/phylogeography/tutorial/spread_tutorial.html

Originally this program is named "spread". However, there is just such a package inside Debian and thus a 'phy' for phylogeny was prepended.

SSAKE-based Scaffolding of Pre-Assembled Contigs after Extension (SSPACE) is a script able to extend and scaffold pre-assembled contigs using one or more mate pairs or paired-end libraries, or even a combination.

SSPACE is built based on SSAKE. Code of SSAKE is changed to be able to extend and scaffold pre-assembled contigs for multiple paired reads libraries.

This is the free 'basic' version of SSPACE. The non-free 'standard' version is available directly from Baseclear.

Staden is a fully developed set of DNA sequence assembly (Gap4 and Gap5), editing and analysis tools (Spin).

Gap4 performs sequence assembly, contig ordering based on read pair data, contig joining based on sequence comparisons, assembly checking, repeat searching, experiment suggestion, read pair analysis and contig editing. It has graphical views of contigs, templates, readings and traces which all scroll in register. Contig editor searches and experiment suggestion routines use confidence values to calculate the confidence of the consensus sequence and hence identify only places requiring visual trace inspection or extra data. The result is extremely rapid finishing and a consensus of known accuracy.

Pregap4 provides a graphical user interface to set up the processing required to prepare trace data for assembly or analysis, and automates these processes.

Trev is a rapid and flexible viewer and editor for ABI, ALF, SCF and ZTR trace files.

Prefinish analyses partially completed sequence assemblies and suggests the most efficient set of experiments to help finish the project.

Tracediff and hetscan automatically locate mutations by comparing trace data against reference traces. They annotate the mutations found ready for viewing in gap4.

Spin analyses nucleotide sequences to find genes, restriction sites, motifs, etc. It can perform translations, find open reading frames, count codons, etc. Many results are presented graphically and a sliding sequence window is linked to the graphics cursor. Spin also compares pairs of sequences in many ways. It has very rapid dot matrix analysis, global and local alignment algorithms, plus a sliding sequence window linked to the graphical plots. It can compare nucleic acid against nucleic acid, protein against protein, and protein against nucleic acid.

The abundance of transcripts in a human tissue sample can be determined by RNA sequencing. The exact sequence sampled may be random, depending on the technology used. And it may be short, i.e. shorter than the transcript. At some point, many shorter reads need to be assembled to the model the complete transcripts.

StringTie knows how to assemble of RNA-Seq into potential transcripts without the need of a reference genome and provides a quantification also of the splice variants.

Suitename is a program that supports the ROC RNA Ontology Consortium consensus RNA backbone nomenclature and conformer-list development.

From dihedral-angle input for a specific RNA structure (usually from Dangle), Suitename categorizes the RNA backbone geometry of each suite (the sugar-to-sugar version of a residue) either as an outlier or as belonging to one of the 53 defined conformer bins. The output is either a one-line-per-suite report, or a linear conformer string (as shown below the image here) in one of several variant formats. Suitename is built into MolProbity, producing entries in the multi-criterion chart for an RNA model and also a suitestring file.

With the development of next-generation sequencing, efficient tools are needed to handle millions of sequences in reasonable amounts of time. Sumaclust is a program developed by the LECA. Sumaclust aims to cluster sequences in a way that is fast and exact at the same time. This tool has been developed to be adapted to the type of data generated by DNA metabarcoding, i.e. entirely sequenced, short markers. Sumaclust clusters sequences using the same clustering algorithm as UCLUST and CD- HIT. This algorithm is mainly useful to detect the 'erroneous' sequences created during amplification and sequencing protocols, deriving from 'true' sequences.

With the development of next-generation sequencing, efficient tools are needed to handle millions of sequences in reasonable amounts of time. Sumatra is a program developed by the LECA. Sumatra aims to compare sequences in a way that is fast and exact at the same time. This tool has been developed to be adapted to the type of data generated by DNA metabarcoding, i.e. entirely sequenced, short markers. Sumatra computes the pairwise alignment scores from one dataset or between two datasets, with the possibility to specify a similarity threshold under which pairs of sequences that have a lower similarity are not reported. The output can then go through a classification process with programs such as MCL or MOTHUR.

SumTrees is a program to summarize non-parameteric bootstrap or Bayesian posterior probability support for splits or clades on phylogenetic trees.

The basis of the support assessment is typically given by a set of non-parametric bootstrap replicate tree samples produced by programs such as GARLI or RAxML, or by a set of MCMC tree samples produced by programs such as Mr. Bayes or BEAST. The proportion of trees out of the samples in which a particular split is found is taken to be the degree of support for that split as indicated by the samples. The samples that are the basis of the support can be distributed across multiple files, and a burn-in option allows for an initial number of trees in each file to be excluded from the analysis if they are not considered to be drawn from the true support distribution.

The purpose of swarm is to provide a novel clustering algorithm to handle large sets of amplicons. Traditional clustering algorithms results are strongly input-order dependent, and rely on an arbitrary global clustering threshold. swarm results are resilient to input-order changes and rely on a small local linking threshold d, the maximum number of differences between two amplicons. swarm forms stable high-resolution clusters, with a high yield of biological information.

T-Coffee is a multiple sequence alignment package. Given a set of sequences (Proteins or DNA), T-Coffee generates a multiple sequence alignment. Version 2.00 and higher can mix sequences and structures.

T-Coffee allows the combination of a collection of multiple/pairwise, global or local alignments into a single model. It can also estimate the level of consistency of each position within the new alignment with the rest of the alignments. See the pre-print for more information

T-Coffee has a special called M-Coffee that makes it possible to combine the output of many multiple sequence alignment packages. In its published version, it uses MUSCLE, PROBCONS, POA, DiAlign-TS, MAFFT, Clustal W, PCMA and T-Coffee. A special version has been made for Debian, DM-Coffee, that uses only free software by replacing Clustal W by Kalign. Using the 8 Methods of M-Coffee can sometimes be a bit heavy. You can use a subset of your favorite methods if you prefer.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: clustalw dialign-tx kalign mafft muscle muscle3 ncbi-blast+ poa prank probcons tm-align

Tabix indexes files where some columns indicate sequence coordinates: name (usually a chromosome), start and stop. The input data file must be position sorted and compressed by bgzip (provided in this package), which has a gzip like interface. After indexing, tabix is able to quickly retrieve data lines by chromosomal coordinates. Fast data retrieval also works over network if an URI is given as a file name.

This package is built from the HTSlib source, and provides the bgzip, htsfile, and tabix tools.

tantan is a tool to mask simple regions (low complexity and short-period tandem repeats) in DNA, RNA, and protein sequences. The aim of tantan is to prevent false predictions when searching for homologous regions between two sequences. Simple repeats often align strongly to each other, causing false homology predictions.

Theseus is a program that simultaneously superimposes multiple macromolecular structures. Theseus finds the optimal solution to the superposition problem using the method of maximum likelihood. By down-weighting variable regions of the superposition and by correcting for correlations among atoms, the ML superposition method produces very accurate structural alignments.

When macromolecules with different residue sequences are superimposed, other programs and algorithms discard residues that are aligned with gaps. Theseus, however, uses a novel superimposition algorithm that includes all of the data.

The objectif of the THESIAS program is to performed haplotype-based association analysis in unrelated individuals. This program is based on the maximum likelihood model described in Tregouet et al. 2002 (Hum Mol Genet 2002,11: 2015-2023) and is linked to the SEM algorithm (Tregouet et al. Ann Hum Genet 2004,68: 165-177). THESIAS allows one to simultaneous estimate haplotype frequencies and their associate effects on the phenotype of interest. In this new THESIAS release, quantitative, qualitative (logistic and matched-pair analysis), categorical and survival outcomes can be studied. X-linked haplotype analysis is also feasible. Covariate-adjusted haplotype effects as well as haplotype x covariate interactions can also be investigated.

TIPP is a modification of SEPP for classifying query sequences (i.e. reads) using phylogenetic placement.

TIPP inserts each read into a taxonomic tree and uses the insertion location to identify the taxonomic lineage of the read. The novel idea behind TIPP is that rather than using the single best alignment and placement for taxonomic identification, it uses a collection of alignments and placements and considers statistical support for each alignment and placement.

TIPP can also be used for abundance estimation by computing an abundance profile on the reads binned to marker genes in a reference dataset.

TM-align is a computer algorithm for protein structure alignment using dynamic programming. The scoring is performed by the TM-score rotation matrix. This is similar to the RMSD in that unaligned portions of the structure influence the scoring less than the more structurally conserved regions.

This is a software that can be used to analyze Tn-Seq datasets. It includes various statistical calculations of essentiality of genes or genomic regions (including conditional essentiality between 2 conditions). These methods were developed and tested as a collaboration between the Sassetti lab (UMass) and the Ioerger lab (Texas A&M)

TRANSIT is capable of analyzing TnSeq libraries constructed with Himar1 or Tn5 datasets.

TRANSIT assumes you have already done pre-processing of raw sequencing files (.fastq) and extracted read counts into a .wig formatted file. The .wig file should contain the counts at all sites where an insertion could take place (including sites with no reads). For Himar1 datasets this is all TA sites in the genome. For Tn5 datasets this would be all nucleotides in the genome.

tophat-recondition is a post-processor for TopHat unmapped reads (contained in unmapped.bam), making them compatible with downstream tools (e.g., the Picard suite, samtools, GATK) (TopHat issue #17). It also works around bugs in TopHat:

  • the "mate is unmapped" SAM flag is not set on any reads in the unmapped.bam file (TopHat issue #3)
  • the mapped mate of an unmapped read can be absent from accepted_hits.bam, creating a mismatch between the file and the unmapped read's flags (TopHat issue #16)

Toppred is a program to determine the topology of a transmembrane protein based on G. von Heijne algorithm.

Each sequence from seq data in fasta format is processed, and toppred generate the Hydrophobycity profile of the sequence, and the corresponding hydrophobycities values in the file sequence-ID.hydro.

Furthermore, the predicted topologies are represented as png images. Each topology is stored in file sequence-ID-number.png

The hydrophobicity profile is computed using a window formed by a core rectangular window of size n, flanked by 2 triangular windows of size q. NB rectangular and triangular mean that the ponderation values inside those windows are respectively constant and variable.

This program is a new implementation of the original toppred program, based on G. von Heijne algorithm

Tortoize validates protein structure models by checking the Ramachandran plot and side-chain rotamer distributions. Quality Z-scores are given at the residue level and at the model level (ramachandran-z and torsions-z). Higher scores are better. To compare models or to describe the reliability of the model Z-scores jackknife- based standard deviations are also reported (ramachandran-jackknife-sd and torsion-jackknife-sd).

ESTs are short sequences derived from reverse-transcribed RNA. Their abundances yield insights in the expression of genes across tissues, support the discovery of new genes and allow one to assess the coverage of whole genome sequencing projects. Public databases like dbEST at the NCBI collect this data.

trace2dbEST process raw sequenceing chromatograph trace files from EST projects into quality-checked sequences, ready for submission to dbEST. trace2dbEST guides you through the creation of all the necessary files for submission of ESTs to dbEST. trace2dbest makes use of other software (available free under academic licence) that you will need to have installed, namely phred, cross_match and (optionally) BLAST.

Tracetuner is a tool for base and quality calling of trace files from DNA sequencing instruments. Traditional DNA sequencing yields curves from four different channels or light frequencies that human or (preferably) machines are interpreting to determine the actual base (A,C,G or T) and the confidence with which this is determined.

TraceTuner is a DNA sequencing quality value, base calling and trace processing software application originally developed by Paracel, Inc. While providing a flexible interface and capability to adopt the "pure" base calls produced by Phred, KB or any other "original" caller, it offers competitive features not currently available in other tools, such as customized calibration of quality values, advanced heterozygote and mixed base calling and deconvolving the "mixed" electropherograms resulting from the presence of indels into a couple of "pure" electropherograms.

Later versions Previous versions of TraceTuner were used by Celera Genomics to process over 27 million reads from both Drosophila and human genome projects. In 2000, Applied Biosystems bundled TraceTuner with ABI3700 Genome Analyzers and shipped it to the customers of these capillary electrophoresis sequencers. its SNP detection and genotyping software product SeqScape.

TraceTuner implements an advanced peak processing technology for resolving overlapping peaks of the same dye color into individual, or "intrinsic" peaks. TraceTuner, for its support of mixed base calling, have been used by the research community, the private biotech sector, and the U.S. government as components of different variant detection, genotyping and forensic software applications (e.g. Applied Biosystems SeqScape, Paracel Genome Assembler, MTexpert, etc.).

This technology was protected by US Patent #6,681,186. Currently, TraceTuner is an open source software, which has been used by J. Craig Venter Institute's DNA Sequencing and Resequencing pipelines.

This package prepares an important piece of human history to be used with new data on new machines or to revisit older observations..

TransDecoder identifies candidate coding regions within transcript sequences, such as those generated by de novo RNA-Seq transcript assembly using Trinity, or constructed based on RNA-Seq alignments to the genome using Tophat and Cufflinks.

TransDecoder identifies likely coding sequences based on the following criteria:

  • a minimum length open reading frame (ORF) is found in a transcript sequence
  • a log-likelihood score similar to what is computed by the GeneID software is > 0.
  • the above coding score is greatest when the ORF is scored in the 1st reading frame as compared to scores in the other 5 reading frames.
  • if a candidate ORF is found fully encapsulated by the coordinates of another candidate ORF, the longer one is reported. However, a single transcript can report multiple ORFs (allowing for operons, chimeras, etc).
  • optional the putative peptide has a match to a Pfam domain above the noise cutoff score.

TREE-PUZZLE (the new name for PUZZLE) is an interactive console program that implements a fast tree search algorithm, quartet puzzling, that allows analysis of large data sets and automatically assigns estimations of support to each internal branch. TREE-PUZZLE also computes pairwise maximum likelihood distances as well as branch lengths for user specified trees. Branch lengths can also be calculated under the clock-assumption. In addition, TREE-PUZZLE offers a novel method, likelihood mapping, to investigate the support of a hypothesized internal branch without computing an overall tree and to visualize the phylogenetic content of a sequence alignment.

This is the parallelized version of tree-puzzle.

A tandem repeat in DNA is two or more adjacent, approximate copies of a pattern of nucleotides. Tandem Repeats Finder is a program to locate and display tandem repeats in DNA sequences. In order to use the program, the user submits a sequence in FASTA format. There is no need to specify the pattern, the size of the pattern or any other parameter. The output consists of two files: a repeat table file and an alignment file. The repeat table, viewable in a web browser, contains information about each repeat, including its location, size, number of copies and nucleotide content. Clicking on the location indices for one of the table entries opens a second browser page that shows an alignment of the copies against a consensus pattern. The program is very fast, analyzing sequences on the order of .5Mb in just a few seconds. Submitted sequences may be of arbitrary length. Repeats with pattern size in the range from 1 to 2000 bases are detected.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: trf-examples

Trim Galore! is a wrapper script to automate quality and adapter trimming as well as quality control, with some added functionality to remove biased methylation positions for RRBS sequence files (for directional, non-directional (or paired-end) sequencing). It's main features are:

  • For adapter trimming, Trim Galore! uses the first 13 bp of Illumina standard adapters ('AGATCGGAAGAGC') by default (suitable for both ends of paired-end libraries), but accepts other adapter sequence, too
  • For MspI-digested RRBS libraries, Trim Galore! performs quality and adapter trimming in two subsequent steps. This allows it to remove 2 additional bases that contain a cytosine which was artificially introduced in the end-repair step during the library preparation
  • For any kind of FastQ file other than MspI-digested RRBS, Trim Galore! can perform single-pass adapter- and quality trimming
  • The Phred quality of basecalls and the stringency for adapter removal can be specified individually
  • Trim Galore! can remove sequences if they become too short during the trimming process. For paired-end files Trim Galore! removes entire sequence pairs if one (or both) of the two reads became shorter than the set length cutoff. Reads of a read-pair that are longer than a given threshold but for which the partner read has become too short can optionally be written out to single-end files. This ensures that the information of a read pair is not lost entirely if only one read is of good quality
  • Trim Galore! can trim paired-end files by 1 additional bp from the 3' end of all reads to avoid problems with invalid alignments with Bowtie 1
  • Trim Galore! accepts and produces standard or gzip compressed FastQ files
  • FastQC can optionally be run on the resulting output files once trimming has completed

Trimmomatic performs a variety of useful trimming tasks for illumina paired-end and single ended data.The selection of trimming steps and their associated parameters are supplied on the command line.

The current trimming steps are:

  • ILLUMINACLIP: Cut adapter and other illumina-specific sequences from the read.
  • SLIDINGWINDOW: Perform a sliding window trimming, cutting once thes average quality within the window falls below a threshold.
  • LEADING: Cut bases off the start of a read, if below a threshold quality
  • TRAILING: Cut bases off the end of a read, if below a threshold quality
  • CROP: Cut the read to a specified length
  • HEADCROP: Cut the specified number of bases from the start of the read
  • MINLENGTH: Drop the read if it is below a specified length
  • TOPHRED33: Convert quality scores to Phred-33
  • TOPHRED64: Convert quality scores to Phred-64 It works with FASTQ (using phred + 33 or phred + 64 quality scores, depending on the Illumina pipeline used), either uncompressed or gzipp'ed FASTQ. Use of gzip format is determined based on the .gz extension.
The package is enhanced by the following packages: multiqc

Trinity represents a novel method for the efficient and robust de novo reconstruction of transcriptomes from RNA-seq data. Trinity combines three independent software modules: Inchworm, Chrysalis, and Butterfly, applied sequentially to process large volumes of RNA-seq reads. Trinity partitions the sequence data into many individual de Bruijn graphs, each representing the transcriptional complexity at a given gene or locus, and then processes each graph independently to extract full-length splicing isoforms and to tease apart transcripts derived from paralogous genes.

Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a dimension reduction technique that can be used for visualisation similarly to t- SNE, but also for general non-linear dimension reduction. The algorithm is founded on three assumptions about the data:

 1. The data is uniformly distributed on a Riemannian manifold;
 2. The Riemannian metric is locally constant (or can be
    approximated as such);
 3. The manifold is locally connected.

From these assumptions it is possible to model the manifold with a fuzzy topological structure. The embedding is found by searching for a low dimensional projection of the data that has the closest possible equivalent fuzzy topological structure.

Being free of fancy external library dependency and/or network access, the VARNA Applet can be used as a base for a standalone applet. It looks reasonably good and scales up or down nicely to adapt to the space available on a web page, thanks to the anti-aliasing drawing primitives of Swing.

Vcfanno allows you to quickly annotate your VCF with any number of INFO fields from any number of VCFs or BED files. It uses a simple conf file to allow the user to specify the source annotation files and fields and how they will be added to the info of the query VCF.

  • For VCF, values are pulled by name from the INFO field with special cases of ID and FILTER to pull from those VCF columns.
  • For BED, values are pulled from (1-based) column number.
  • For BAM, depth (count), "mapq" and "seq" are currently supported.

Vcfanno is written in go and it supports custom user-scripts written in Lua. It can annotate more than 8000 variants per second with 34 annotations from 9 files on a modest laptop and over 30K variants per second using 12 processes on a server.

Velvet is a de novo genomic assembler specially designed for short read sequencing technologies, such as Solexa or 454, developed by Daniel Zerbino and Ewan Birney at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), near Cambridge, in the United Kingdom.

Velvet currently takes in short read sequences, removes errors then produces high quality unique contigs. It then uses paired read information, if available, to retrieve the repeated areas between contigs.

VeryFastTree is a highly efficient implementation inspired by the FastTree-2 tool, designed to expedite the inference of approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from nucleotide or protein sequence alignments. It is an optimized implementation designed to accelerate the estimation of phylogenies for large alignments. By leveraging parallelization and vectorization strategies, VeryFastTree significantly improves the performance and scalability of phylogenetic analysis, allowing it to construct phylogenetic trees in a fraction of the time previously required.

Maintaining the integrity of FastTree-2, VeryFastTree retains the same phases, methods, and heuristics used for estimating phylogenetic trees. This ensures that the topological accuracy of the trees produced by VeryFastTree remains equivalent to that of FastTree-2. Moreover, unlike the parallel version of FastTree-2, VeryFastTree guarantees deterministic results, eliminating any potential variations in the output.

To facilitate a seamless transition for users, VeryFastTree adopts the exact same command line arguments as FastTree-2. This means that by simply substituting FastTree-2 with VeryFastTree, and using the same set of options, users can significantly enhance the overall performance of their phylogenetic analyses.

variation graph data structures, interchange formats, alignment, genotyping, and variant calling methods

Variation graphs provide a succinct encoding of the sequences of many genomes. A variation graph (in particular as implemented in vg) is composed of:

  • nodes, which are labeled by sequences and ids
  • edges, which connect two nodes via either of their respective ends
  • paths, describe genomes, sequence alignments, and annotations (such as gene models and transcripts) as walks through nodes connected by edges

This model is similar to a number of sequence graphs that have been used in assembly and multiple sequence alignment. Paths provide coordinate systems relative to genomes encoded in the graph, allowing stable mappings to be produced even if the structure of the graph is changed.

WigeoN examines the sequence conservation between a query and a trusted reference sequence, both in NAST alignment format. Based on the sequence identity between the query and the reference sequence, there is an expected amount of variation among the alignment. If the observed variation is greater than the 95% quantile of the distribution of variation observed between non-anomalous sequences, then it is flagged as an anomaly.

WigeoN is a flexible command-line based reimplementation of the Pintail algorithm Appl Environ Microbiol. 2005 Dec;7112:7724-36.

WigeoN is useful for flagging chimeras and anomalies only in near full-length 16S rRNA sequences. WigeoN lacks sensitivity with sequences less than 1000 bp.

To run WigeoN, you need NAST-formatted sequences generated by the nast-ier utility.

WigeoN is part of the microbiomeutil suite.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: microbiomeutil-data

Wise2 is a package focused on comparisons of biopolymers, commonly DNA and protein sequences. There are many other packages which do this, probably the best known being BLAST package (from NCBI) and the Fasta package (from Bill Pearson). There are other packages, such as the HMMER package (Sean Eddy) or SAM package (UC Santa Cruz) focused on hidden Markov models (HMMs) of biopolymers.

Wise2's particular forte is the comparison of DNA sequence at the level of its protein translation. This comparison allows the simultaneous prediction of say gene structure with homology based alignment.

Wise2 also contains other algorithms, such as the venerable Smith-Waterman algorithm, or more modern ones such as Stephen Altschul's generalised gap penalties, or even experimental ones developed in house, such as dba. The development of these algorithms is due to the ease of developing such algorithms in the environment used by Wise2.

Wise2 has also been written with an eye for reuse and maintainability. Although it is a pure C package you can access its functionality directly in Perl. Parts of the package (or the entire package) can be used by other C or C++ programs without namespace clashes as all externally linked variables have the unique identifier Wise2 prepended.

RNA is transcribed from DNA, possibly spliced and exported to the cytoplasm - fine - but its bases can also be modified, edited, and not all such modifications are visible by Sanger sequencing methods and its derivatives.

The Nanopore measures potentials, and if the bases have a different shape then this is measured - not necessarily in an interpretable manner, something must be left for mass spectrometry, but one may be pointed to a difference. And maybe one can even statistically associate such differences with a molecular or clinical phenotype.

yaha is an open source, flexible, sensitive and accurate DNA aligner designed for single-end reads. It supports three major modes of operation:

  • The default “Optimal Query Coverage” (-OQC) mode reports the best set of alignments that cover the length of each query.
  • Using “Filter By Similarity” (-FBS), along with the best set of alignments, yaha will also output alignments that are highly similar to an alignment in the best set.
  • Finally, yaha can output all the alignments found for each query. The -OQC and -FBS modes are specifically tuned to form split read mappings that can be used to accurately identify structural variation events (deletions, duplications, insertions or inversions) between the subject query and the reference genome.

Yanosim has three options:

  1. yanosim model:

    Creates an model of mismatches, insertions and deletions based on an alignment of nanopore DRS reads to a reference. Reads should be aligned to a transcriptome i.e. without spliced alignment, using minimap2. They should have the cs tag. 2. yanosim quantify:

    Quantify the number of reads mapping to each transcript in a reference, so that the right number of reads can be simulated. 3. yanosim simulate:

    Given a model created using yanosim model, and per-transcript read counts created using yanosim simulate, simulate error-prone long-reads from the given fasta file.

Cph is an abstraction of conda package handling and a tool for extracting, creating, and converting between formats.

At the time of writing, the standard conda package format is a .tar.bz2 file. That will need to be maintained for quite a long time, thanks to the long tail of people using old conda versions. There is a new conda format, described at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HGKsbg_j69rKXP- ihhpCb1kNQSE8Iy3yOsUU2x68x8uw/edit?usp=sharing. This new format is designed to have much faster metadata access and utilize more modern compression algorithms, while also facilitating package signing without adding sidecar files.

The Dazzler Scrubbing Suite produces a set of edited reads that are guaranteed to

  • be continuous stretches of the underlying genome (i.e. no unremoved adapters and not chimers)
  • have no very low quality stretches (i.e. the error rate never exceeds some reasonable maximum, 20% or so in the case of Pacbio data). Its secondary goal is to do so with the minimum removal of data and splitting of reads.

Many scientific communities share the problem of regularly updating external databases. With every update, also various tasks need to be performed for the update of indices that need to be recreated. This work depends on the tools that are available locally and is not always completely simple.

This package provides the getData Perl script, which in some not so complicated manner performs the invocation to wget to download data and then knows how to perform the indexing. There is only a hash table to be filled with the commands to be executed. Maintainers of scientific packages that are strongly coupled to public datasets are invited to add a runtime dependency to this package and add instructions for getData to follow.

This package provides several tools that (at least at the time of their creation) provide functionalities beyond the routine provided by samtools and other reverse dependencies of the htslib.

These new tools are

 • bam-filter : filter BAM/CRAM/SAM files with a simple expression language
 • count-reads: count BAM/CRAM reads in regions given in a BED file
 • vcf-check  : check regions of a VCF against a background for missing chunks

and yes, as the name suggests, these tools are all implemented in nim, using the nim-hts (upstream: hts-nim) wrapper for the htslib.

Header-only C++ HNSW implementation with Python bindings.

A common task in data analysis but also in scientific computations is to find data that is very close (multi-dimensional space) or similar (same thing) to a given data point. Also as heuristics for physics engines, it is the objects closest to you that you are most likely to collide with. This library knows how to do this fast.

Maude is a high-performance reflective language and system supporting both equational and rewriting logic specification and programming for a wide range of applications. Maude has been influenced in important ways by the OBJ3 language, which can be regarded as an equational logic sublanguage. Besides supporting equational specification and programming, Maude also supports rewriting logic computation.

Rewriting logic is a logic of concurrent change that can naturally deal with state and with concurrent computations. It has good properties as a general semantic framework for giving executable semantics to a wide range of languages and models of concurrency. In particular, it supports very well concurrent object-oriented computation. The same reasons making rewriting logic a good semantic framework make it also a good logical framework, that is, a metalogic in which many other logics can be naturally represented and executed.

Maude supports in a systematic and efficient way logical reflection. This makes Maude remarkably extensible and powerful, supports an extensible algebra of module composition operations, and allows many advanced metaprogramming and metalanguage applications. Indeed, some of the most interesting applications of Maude are metalanguage applications, in which Maude is used to create executable environments for different logics, theorem provers, languages, and models of computation.

Maude is of interest to the biomedical community for modeling and analysis of biological systems.

MRS is a complete system to retrieve, index and query biological and medical databanks. It comes with all the code required to fetch data using FTP or rsync, then creates a local databank with indices using a databank specific parser written in Perl. It can then serve this data using a built-in web application and webservices.

Searching can be done on words and Boolean queries. As a bonus you can search protein sequences using a custom Blast algorithm.

Loom is an efficient file format for very large omics datasets, consisting of a main matrix, optional additional layers, a variable number of row and column annotations. Loom also supports sparse graphs. Loom files are used to store single-cell gene expression data: the main matrix contains the actual expression values (one column per cell, one row per gene); row and column annotations contain metadata for genes and cells, such as Name, Chromosome, Position (for genes), and Strain, Sex, Age (for cells).

Loom files (.loom) are created in the HDF5 file format, which supports an internal collection of numerical multidimensional datasets. HDF5 is supported by many computer languages, including Java, MATLAB, Mathematica, Python, R, and Julia. .loom files are accessible from any language that supports HDF5.

Data can be presented in the following formats, using the following functions:

  • sorted bam file process_bam(bamfile, threads)
  • standard fastq file process_fastq_plain(fastqfile, 'threads')
  • fastq file with metadata from MinKNOW or Albacore process_fastq_rich(fastqfile)
  • sequencing_summary file generated by Albacore process_summary(sequencing_summary.txt, 'readtype')

Fastq files can be compressed using gzip, bzip2 or bgzip. The data is returned as a pandas DataFrame with standardized headernames for convenient extraction. The functions perform logging while being called and extracting data.

The Nested Containment List is a datastructure for interval overlap queries, like the interval tree. It is usually an order of magnitude faster than the interval tree both for building and query lookups.

The implementation here is a revived version of the one used in the now defunct PyGr library, which died of bitrot. It was now made less memory-consuming and wrapper functions allow batch-querying the NCLS for further speed gains.

This package was implemented to be the cornerstone of the PyRanges project, but was made available to the Python community as a stand-alone library.

Pychopper v2 is a Python module to identify, orient and trim full-length Nanopore cDNA reads. It is also able to rescue fused reads and provides the script 'pychopper.py'. The general approach of Pychopper v2 is the following:

  • Pychopper first identifies alignment hits of the primers across the length of the sequence. The default method for doing this is using nhmmscan with the pre-trained strand specific profile HMMs, included with the package. Alternatively, one can use the edlib backend, which uses a combination of global and local alignment to identify the primers within the read.
  • After identifying the primer hits by either of the backends, the reads are divided into segments defined by two consecutive primer hits. The score of a segment is its length if the configuration of the flanking primer hits is valid (such as SPP,-VNP for forward reads) or zero otherwise.
  • The segments are assigned to rescued reads using a dynamic programming algorithm maximizing the sum of used segment scores (hence the amount of rescued bases). A crucial observation about the algorithm is that if a segment is included as a rescued read, then the next segment must be excluded as one of the primer hits defining it was "used up" by the previous segment. This put constraints on the dynamic programming graph. The arrows in read define the optimal path for rescuing two fused reads with the a total score of l1 + l3.

A crucial parameter of Pychopper v2 is -q, which determines the stringency of primer alignment (E-value in the case of the pHMM backend). This can be explicitly specified by the user, however by default it is optimized on a random sample of input reads to produce the maximum number of classified reads.

Samtools provides a function "faidx" (FAsta InDeX), which creates a small flat index file ".fai" allowing for fast random access to any subsequence in the indexed FASTA file, while loading a minimal amount of the file in to memory. This Python module implements pure Python classes for indexing, retrieval, and in-place modification of FASTA files using a samtools compatible index. The pyfaidx module is API compatible with the pygr seqdb module. A command-line script "faidx" is installed alongside the pyfaidx module, and facilitates complex manipulation of FASTA files without any programming knowledge.

This package provides the Python 3 modules to access fasta files.

A PyRanges object must have the columns Chromosome, Start and End. These describe the genomic position and function as implicit row labels. A Strand column is optional and adds strand information to the intervals. Any other columns are allowed and are considered metadata.

The structure can be filled from .bed, .bam or .gff files, also from tabular or textual representations.

A small Python module providing edit distance (aka Levenshtein distance, that is, counting insertions, deletions and substitutions) and Hamming distance computation.

Its main purpose is to speed up computation of edit distance by allowing to specify a maximum number of differences maxdiff (banding). If that parameter is provided, the returned edit distance is anly accurate up to maxdiff. That is, if the actual edit distance is higher than maxdiff, a value larger than maxdiff is returned, but not necessarily the actual edit distance.

Microbiome studies often aim to predict outcomes or differentiate samples based on their microbial compositions, tasks that can be efficiently performed by supervised learning methods. The q2-sample-classifier plugin makes these methods more accessible, reproducible, and interpretable to a broad audience of microbiologists, clinicians, and others who wish to utilize supervised learning methods for predicting sample characteristics based on microbiome composition or other "omics" data

QIIME 2 is a powerful, extensible, and decentralized microbiome analysis package with a focus on data and analysis transparency. QIIME 2 enables researchers to start an analysis with raw DNA sequence data and finish with publication-quality figures and statistical results. Key features:

  • Integrated and automatic tracking of data provenance
  • Semantic type system
  • Plugin system for extending microbiome analysis functionality
  • Support for multiple types of user interfaces (e.g. API, command line, graphical)

QIIME 2 is a complete redesign and rewrite of the QIIME 1 microbiome analysis pipeline. QIIME 2 will address many of the limitations of QIIME 1, while retaining the features that makes QIIME 1 a powerful and widely-used analysis pipeline.

QIIME 2 currently supports an initial end-to-end microbiome analysis pipeline. New functionality will regularly become available through QIIME 2 plugins. You can view a list of plugins that are currently available on the QIIME 2 plugin availability page. The future plugins page lists plugins that are being developed.

This package provides templates for QIIME 2 plugins.

This package is for analyzing array DNA copy number data, which is usually (but not always) called array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (array CGH) data It implements a methodology for finding change-points in these data which are points after which the (log) test over reference ratios have changed location. This model is that the change-points correspond to positions where the underlying DNA copy number has changed. Therefore, change-points can be used to identify regions of gained and lost copy number. Also provided is a function for making relevant plots of these data.

This BioConductor package provides a pipeline for the analysis of GRO- seq data. Among the more advanced features, r-bioc-grohmm predicts the boundaries of transcriptional activity across the genome de novo using a two-state hidden Markov model (HMM).

The used model essentially divides the genome into transcribed and non- transcribed regions in a strand specific manner. HMMs are used to identify the leading edge of Pol II at genes activated by a stimulus in GRO-seq time course data. This approach allows the genome-wide interrogation of transcription rates in cells.

Genomic data analyses requires integrated visualization of known genomic information and new experimental data. Gviz uses the biomaRt and the rtracklayer packages to perform live annotation queries to Ensembl and UCSC and translates this to e.g. gene/transcript structures in viewports of the grid graphics package. This results in genomic information plotted together with your data.

This package is an implementation the Quantitative Set Analysis for Gene Expression (QuSAGE) method described in (Yaari G. et al, Nucl Acids Res, 2013). This is a novel Gene Set Enrichment-type test, which is designed to provide a faster, more accurate, and easier to understand test for gene expression studies. qusage accounts for inter-gene correlations using the Variance Inflation Factor technique proposed by Wu et al. (Nucleic Acids Res, 2012). In addition, rather than simply evaluating the deviation from a null hypothesis with a single number (a P value), qusage quantifies gene set activity with a complete probability density function (PDF). From this PDF, P values and confidence intervals can be easily extracted. Preserving the PDF also allows for post-hoc analysis (e.g., pair-wise comparisons of gene set activity) while maintaining statistical traceability. Finally, while qusage is compatible with individual gene statistics from existing methods (e.g., LIMMA), a Welch-based method is implemented that is shown to improve specificity. For questions, contact Chris Bolen (cbolen1@gmail.com) or Steven Kleinstein (steven.kleinstein@yale.edu)

Extends the fitdistr() function (of the MASS package) with several functions to help the fit of a parametric distribution to non-censored or censored data. Censored data may contain left censored, right censored and interval censored values, with several lower and upper bounds. In addition to maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), the package provides moment matching (MME), quantile matching (QME) and maximum goodness-of-fit estimation (MGE) methods (available only for non-censored data). Weighted versions of MLE, MME and QME are available. See e.g. Casella & Berger (2002). Statistical inference. Pacific Grove.

ARB is a graphical suite of tools for sequence database handling and data analysis. A central database of processed (aligned) sequences and any type of additional data linked to the sequence entries is structured according to phylogeny or other user-defined criteria.

The ARB project (from the Latin "arbor", a tree) is a joint initiative of the Lehrstuhl für Mikrobiologie and the LRR of the Technische Universität München in 1992. Since 2014 the ARB project is continued by the Department of Molecular Ecology http://www.mpi-bremen.de/en/Department_of_Molecular_Ecology.html at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen in cooperation with Ribocon GmbH http://www.ribocon.com .

This package installs the command line tools of the bcbio-nextgen toolkit implementing best-practice pipelines for fully automated high throughput sequencing analysis.

A high-level configuration file specifies inputs and analysis parameters to drive a parallel pipeline that handles distributed execution, idempotent processing restarts and safe transactional steps. The project contributes a shared community resource that handles the data processing component of sequencing analysis, providing researchers with more time to focus on the downstream biology.

This package builds and having it in Debian unstable helps the Debian developers to synchronize their efforts. But unless a series of external dependencies are not installed manually, the functionality of bcbio in Debian is only a shadow of itself. Please use the official distribution of bcbio for the time being, which means "use conda". The TODO file in the Debian directory should give an overview on progress for Debian packaging.

This package contains code from different authors that allow sequence assemblies to be converted into formats such as CAF (Common Assembly Format) or GAP4.

CAF is a text format for describing sequence assemblies. It is acedb-compliant and is an extension of the ace-file format used earlier, but with support for base quality measures and a more extensive description of the Sequence data. CAF was designed during the Sanger sequencing era. Its modern-day successor is the SAM format, or its binary equivalents BAM and CRAM.

Cufflinks assembles transcripts, estimates their abundances, and tests for differential expression and regulation in RNA-Seq samples. It accepts aligned RNA-Seq reads and assembles the alignments into a parsimonious set of transcripts. Cufflinks then estimates the relative abundances of these transcripts based on how many reads support each one.

This package provides the binary of cufflinks and associated tools, i.e. compress_gtf, cuffcompare, cuffdiff, cuffmerge, cuffnorm, cuffquant and gtf_to_sam.

This package is the adaptation of the PHYLIP package in which its programs can operate with the biological sequence formats and databases of the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS). The software packages adapted for EMBOSS are called EMBASSY.

PHYLIP (the PHYLogeny Inference Package) is a package of programs for inferring phylogenies (evolutionary trees). Methods that are available in the package include parsimony, distance matrix, and likelihood methods, including bootstrapping and consensus trees. Data types that can be handled include molecular sequences, gene frequencies, restriction sites and fragments, distance matrices, and discrete characters.

The EMBASSY PHYLIP programs all have the prefix "f" to distinguish them from the original programs and avoid namespace conflict.

Seq-Gen is a program that will simulate the evolution of nucleotide or amino acid sequences along a phylogeny, using common models of the substitution process. A range of models of molecular evolution are implemented including the general reversible model. State frequencies and other parameters of the model may be given and site-specific rate heterogeneity may also be incorporated in a number of ways. Any number of trees may be read in and the program will produce any number of data sets for each tree. Thus large sets of replicate simulations can be easily created. It has been designed to be a general purpose simulator that incorporates most of the commonly used (and computationally tractable) models of molecular sequence evolution.

SIFT is a sequence homology-based tool that sorts intolerant from tolerant amino acid substitutions and predicts whether an amino acid substitution in a protein will have a phenotypic effect. SIFT is based on the premise that protein evolution is correlated with protein function. Positions important for function should be conserved in an alignment of the protein family, whereas unimportant positions should appear diverse in an alignment.

tRNAscan-SE identifies 99-100% of transfer RNA genes in DNA sequence while giving less than one false positive per 15 gigabases. Two previously described tRNA detection programs are used as fast, first-pass prefilters to identify candidate tRNAs, which are then analyzed by a highly selective tRNA covariance model. This work represents a practical application of RNA covariance models, which are general, probabilistic secondary structure profiles based on stochastic context-free grammars. tRNAscan-SE searches at ~ 30 000 bp/s. Additional extensions to tRNAscan-SE detect unusual tRNA homologues such as selenocysteine tRNAs, tRNA-derived repetitive elements and tRNA pseudogenes.

The Vienna RNA Package consists of a C code library and several stand-alone programs for the prediction and comparison of RNA secondary structures. It is developed and maintained by the group of Ivo Hofacker in Vienna.

RNA secondary structure prediction through energy minimization is the most used function in the package. It provides three kinds of dynamic programming algorithms for structure prediction:

  • the minimum free energy algorithm of (Zuker & Stiegler 1981) which yields a single optimal structure,
  • the partition function algorithm of (McCaskill 1990) which calculates base pair probabilities in the thermodynamic ensemble, and the suboptimal folding algorithm of (Wuchty et.al 1999) which generates all suboptimal structures within a given energy range of the optimal energy.

For secondary structure comparison, the package contains several measures of distance (dissimilarities) using either string alignment or tree-editing (Shapiro & Zhang 1990). Finally, is provided an algorithm to design sequences with a predefined structure (inverse folding). The RNAforester package is a tool for aligning RNA secondary structures and it's user interface integrates to those of the tools of the Vienna RNA package.

Acacia is a java program developed to quickly and conservatively correct errors, whilst simultaneously de-replicating, amplicon sequences.

The main purpose of Acacia is to correct the over-call, under-call errors prevalent in Roche 454 GS-FLX data, and more recently, with the Titanium chemistry. Acacia will only ectively correct errors in amplicons - as it assumes that the 5' end of the sequences start at the same position, the MID, followed by the primer. Acacia uses empirically-derived models to identify homopolymer regions where there are more `errors' than expected by chance - these imply that the differences are due to population differences rather than error-induced polymorphisms.

Open-source so that everyone is welcome to contribute and help build outstanding assembly tools, and modular in nature so that new contributions can be easily inserted into an existing assembly pipeline. This modular design will foster the development of new assembly algorithms and allow the AMOS project to continually grow and improve in hopes of eventually becoming a widely accepted and deployed assembly infrastructure. In this sense, AMOS is both a design philosophy and a software system.

It was developed as a collaboration between the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (part of the FlyBase consortium) and The Sanger Institute in Cambridge, UK. Apollo allows researchers to explore genomic annotations at many levels of detail, and to perform expert annotation curation, all in a graphical environment. It was used by the FlyBase biologists to construct the Release 3 annotations on the finished Drosophila melanogaster genome, and is also a primary vehicle for sharing these annotations with the community. The Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) project, which aims to provide a complete ready-to-use toolkit for analyzing whole genomes, has adopted Apollo as its annotation workbench.

Bagpipe is a program for performing genomewide linkage disequilibrium mapping of quantitative trait loci in populations whose genome structure can be accommodated in the HAPPY framework [Mott00]. This includes most diploid crosses where the founders of the individuals have known genotypes.

  • Bagpipe is a simplified and streamlined version of Bagphenotype that does not currently include resample model averaging (RMA) capabilities.
  • Bagpipe can help fit single locus regression models (with or without random effects) to marker intervals whose genetic ancestry is inferred using the HAPPY software.
  • Bagpipe cannot help you decide what is a sensible model to fit.
  • Bagpipe does not currently accommodate populations with significant population structure, except through the specification of simple random intercepts based on unpatterned covariance matrices.
  • Bagpipe is named after the Scottish wind instrument "the bagpipes" and after Bagphenotype, which in turn was a PIPEline for BAGging-based multiple QTL analysis of phenoTYPEs. Bagphenotype was in turn based on software written by Richard Mott and William Valdar to analyze heterogeneous stock mice in [Valdar06].
  • Bagpipe is experimental software, is provided free of charge subject to copyleft restrictions, and comes with no guarantees whatsoever.

License: FreeForScientificUse
Debian package not available

Version: 35-1

BLAT on DNA is designed to quickly find sequences of 95% and greater similarity of length 25 bases or more. It may miss more divergent or shorter sequence alignments. It will find perfect sequence matches of 25 bases, and sometimes find them down to 20 bases. BLAT on proteins finds sequences of 80% and greater similarity of length 20 amino acids or more. In practice DNA BLAT works well on primates, and protein blat on land vertebrates.

BLAT is not BLAST. DNA BLAT works by keeping an index of the entire genome in memory. The index consists of all non-overlapping 11-mers except for those heavily involved in repeats. The index takes up a bit less than a gigabyte of RAM. The genome itself is not kept in memory, allowing BLAT to deliver high performance on a reasonably priced Linux box. The index is used to find areas of probable homology, which are then loaded into memory for a detailed alignment. Protein BLAT works in a similar manner, except with 4-mers rather than 11-mers. The protein index takes a little more than 2 gigabytes.

For several decades, free energy minimization methods have been the dominant strategy for single sequence RNA secondary structure prediction. More recently, stochastic context-free grammars (SCFGs) have emerged as an alternative probabilistic methodology for modeling RNA structure. Unlike physics-based methods, which rely on thousands of experimentally-measured thermodynamic parameters, SCFGs use fully-automated statistical learning algorithms to derive model parameters. Despite this advantage, however, probabilistic methods have not replaced free energy minimization methods as the tool of choice for secondarystructure prediction, as the accuracies of the best current SCFGs have yet to match those of the best physics-based models.

CONTRAfold is a novel secondary structure prediction method based on conditional log-linear models (CLLMs), a flexible class of probabilistic models which generalize upon SCFGs by using discriminative training and feature-rich scoring. By incorporating most of the features found in typical thermodynamic models, CONTRAfold achieves the highest single sequence prediction accuracies to date, outperforming currently available probabilistic and physics-based techniques. Our result thus closes the gap between probabilistic and thermodynamic models, demonstrating that statistical learning procedures provide an effective alternative to empirical measurement of thermodynamic parameters for RNA secondary structure prediction.

Version: 0.2.0-1

Deepbinner is a tool for demultiplexing barcoded Oxford Nanopore sequencing reads. It does this with a deep convolutional neural network classifier, using many of the architectural advances that have proven successful in image classification. Unlike other demultiplexers (e.g. Albacore and Porechop), Deepbinner identifies barcodes from the raw signal (a.k.a. squiggle) which gives it greater sensitivity and fewer unclassified reads.

Reasons to use Deepbinner:

  • To minimise the number of unclassified reads (use Deepbinner by itself).
  • To minimise the number of misclassified reads (use Deepbinner in conjunction with Albacore demultiplexing).
  • You plan on running signal-level downstream analyses, like Nanopolish. Deepbinner can demultiplex the fast5 files which makes this easier. Reasons to not use Deepbinner:
  • You only have basecalled reads not the raw fast5 files (which Deepbinner requires).
  • You have a small/slow computer. Deepbinner is more computationally intensive than Porechop.
  • You used a sequencing/barcoding kit other than the ones Deepbinner was trained on.

Ensembl is a joint project of the Sanger Center and the European Bioinformatics Institute, an outstation of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, (EMBL-EBI) that are sharing a campus in Hinxton near Cambridge, UK. It presents the sequence data for the yet available complete genomes of many vertebrates and is helped by many sister-projects to cover also plants, invertebrates and bacteria.

This package provides a basic installation of Ensembl. It comprises a full copy of the public Ensembl website, minus Blast and SSAHA, and minus BioMart. It uses UniSearch instead of the engine used on the public site for searching by keyword. It connects directly to the public databases hosted by the EBI/Sanger.

This is meant as an easy way to get a basic Ensembl installation working on Debian. It can then be customised to local requirements.

Note that Ensembl has two odd dependencies: bioperl1.2.3 and libparallel-useragent-perl. Those are not required for routine browsing, but the bioperl1.2.3 library performs the parsing of BLAST outputs. Version 1.2.3 is in conflict with any other existing bioperl installation and forces you to effectively downgrade.

libwww-perl5.808 will conflict with the latest libwww-perl installation and thus force a downgrade to 5.808, which will disable many other tools on your system. Therefore it is advisable NOT to install this package in parallel with any other software, and/or use a virtual machine or dedicated machine.

WARNING: Requires internet connection both to install and to run, as it connects to the Sanger/EBI database servers during both installation and at runtime.

Remark of Debian Med team: Ensembl was removed from Debian due #645487

Ensembl used to be in Debian experimental branch but was removed for formal reasons which are explained in http://bugs.debian.org/645487

Repetitive sequences make up a significant fraction of almost any genome and an important and still open question in bioinformatics is how to represent all repeats in DNA sequences. We propose a radically new approach to repeat classification that is motivated by the fundamental topological notion of quotient spaces. A torus or Klein bottle are examples of quotient spaces that can be obtained from a square by gluing some points. Our new repeat classification algorithm is based on the observation that the alignment-induced quotient space of a DNA sequence compactly represents all sequence repeats. This observation leads to a simple and efficient solution of the repeat classification problem as well as new approaches to fragment assembly and multiple alignment.

ExaBayes is a tool for Bayesian phylogenetic analyses. It implements a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling approach that allows to determine the posterior probability of a tree (resp., topology) and various evolutionary model parameters, for instance, branch lengths or substitution rates. Similar approaches are implemented in beast-mcmc or mrbayes. ExaBayes has heavily drawn inspiration specifically from the latter one.

ExaBayes comes with the most commonly used evolutionary models, such as the generalized time reversible model (GTR) of character substitution, the discretized Gamma-model of among site rate heterogeneity and estimates trees with unconstrained branch lengths. For clocked tree models or less parameter-rich substitution models, we refer you to the established tools.

The distinguishing feature of ExaBayes is its capability to handle enormous datasets efficiently. ExaBayes provides an implementation of data parallelism using the Message Passing Interface (MPI). This means, that if you conduct your analysis on a computing cluster composed of several machines (a.k.a. nodes), the memory needed to evaluate the likelihood of trees and parameters given a large alignment can be spread out across multiple computing nodes. In conclusion, the size of the concatenated alignment ExaBayes can handle is only limited by the combined main memory of your entire computing cluster.

Genome assembly remains an inexact science. Even when accomplished with the best software available, the assembly of a genome often contains numerous errors, both small and large. Hawkeye is a visual analytics tool for genome assembly analysis and validation, designed to aid in identifying and correcting assembly errors. Hawkeye blends the best practices from information and scientific visualization to facilitate inspection of large-scale assembly data while minimizing the time needed to detect mis-assemblies and make accurate judgments of assembly quality.

All levels of the assembly data hierarchy are made accessible to users, along with summary statistics and common assembly metrics. A ranking component guides investigation towards likely mis-assemblies or interesting features to support the task at hand. Wherever possible, high-level overviews, dynamic filtering, and automated clustering are leveraged to focus attention and highlight anomalies in the data. Hawkeyes effectiveness has been proven on several genome projects, where it has been used both to improve quality and to validate the correctness of complex genomes.

Hawkeye is compatible with most widely used assemblers, including Phrap, ARACHNE, Celera Assembler, Newbler, AMOS, and assemblies deposited in the NCBI Assembly Archive.

Inspect is a MS/MS database search tool specifically designed to address two crucial needs of the proteomics comminuty: post-translational modification identification and search speed. The program is available as a free download or online in the ProteoSAFe webserver. The online interface is coordinated with other proteomics software developed in the lab, like PepNovo

Typical database searches do not deal well with the dynamic nature of the proteome. Post-translational modifications, alternative splicing, and laboratory chemisty all affect protein behavior and make spectrum interpretation more challenging. The primary challenge is that the "virtual database" of all modified peptides undergoes a combinatorial explosion when a broad range of modifications is allowed. This affects search running time. A secondary challenge is that in this richer database, there are many more close "relatives" for each peptide. This affects scoring accuracy, since differentiating between correct and incorrect identifications is more difficult.

InsPecT addresses several algorithmic problems in order to identify modified proteins.

InsPecT uses peptide sequence tags (PSTs) to filter the database. InsPecT has an internal tag generator, but can accept tags generated by other tools (e.g. Pepnovo, GutenTAG). Because de novo is imperfect, multiple tags are produced for each spectrum, to ensure that (at least) one tag is corrrect. These PSTs are extremely efficient filters, even in the context of up to a dozen possible modifications. Tag-based filtering can also be combined with the "two-pass" filtering pioneered by X!Tandem, where from one search provides a list of proteins (a mini- database) for a more detailed search.

Unanticipated modifications are common in proteomics. InsPecT implements the MS-Alignment algorithm for "blind" spectral search, with no bias toward anticipated modification types. This search has been applied to annotate heavily-modified proteins such as crystallins.

Version: 1.6.0+dfsg-1

Manta calls structural variants (SVs) and indels from mapped paired-end sequencing reads. It is optimized for analysis of germline variation in small sets of individuals and somatic variation in tumor/normal sample pairs. Manta discovers, assembles and scores large-scale SVs, medium- sized indels and large insertions within a single efficient workflow. The method is designed for rapid analysis on standard compute hardware: NA12878 at 50x genomic coverage is analyzed in less than 20 minutes on a 20 core server, and most WGS tumor/normal analyses can be completed within 2 hours. Manta combines paired and split-read evidence during SV discovery and scoring to improve accuracy, but does not require split- reads or successful breakpoint assemblies to report a variant in cases where there is strong evidence otherwise. It provides scoring models for germline variants in small sets of diploid samples and somatic variants in matched tumor/normal sample pairs. There is experimental support for analysis of unmatched tumor samples as well. Manta accepts input read mappings from BAM or CRAM files and reports all SV and indel inferences in VCF 4.1 format.

MarginPhase is a program for simultaneous haplotyping and genotyping. It is an experimental, open source implementation written in C and developed to work primarily with nanopore data. The MarginPhase workflow includes an alignment summation step. This differentiates it from WhatsHap, which performs a local realignment around analyzed sites. MarginPhase can also phase genotypic variants simultaneously after filtering out the sites that are likely homozygous. MarginPhase’s output includes a BAM which encodes the phasing of each read, including which phase set it is in, which haplotype it belongs to, and what of the aligned portion falls into each phase set. Reads which span a phase set boundary have information for both encoded in them.

MEME (Multiple EM for Motif Elicitation) is a tool for discovering motifs in a group of related DNA or protein sequences. A motif is a sequence pattern that occurs repeatedly in a group of related protein or DNA sequences. MEME represents motifs as position-dependent letter-probability matrices which describe the probability of each possible letter at each position in the pattern. Individual MEME motifs do not contain gaps. Patterns with variable-length gaps are split by MEME into two or more separate motifs.

MEME takes as input a group of DNA or protein sequences (the training set) and outputs as many motifs as requested. MEME uses statistical modeling techniques to automatically choose the best width, number of occurrences, and description for each motif.

Molecular-based diagnostic assays are the gold standard for infectious diseases today, since they allow a rapid and sensitive identification and typing of various pathogens. While PCR can be designed to be specific for a certain pathogen, a subsequent sequence analysis is frequently required for confirmation or typing. The design of appropriate PCR-based assays is a complex task, especially when conserved discriminating polymorphisms are rare or if the number of types which need to be differentiated is high. One extremely useful but underused method for this purpose is the multiplex pyrosequencing technique. mPSQed is a program developed at the Robert Koch Institute and targeted at facilitating the creation of such assays.

To "have a genetic variation" may mean many different things. Technically most straight forward to investigate are changes to single positions in the long DNA chains - every chromosome is a single polymer of nucleic acids. This is also what we have most data from for many diseases.

But sometimes, DNA that looks completely the same when looking at short reads at the time (and not feeling lucky), the position looked at may be inverted on the chromosome. Or it may be a copy of the original site and not a "real" single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Or it may have translocated to another chromosome.

These are examples for structural changes to the DNA. Individuals may never notice them. Or there may be a higher chances to develop a disease or it may affect fertility. Technologies like the Nanopore have emerged that can read longer segments of the DNA, so one can see multiple copies of the same gene in the same read or at least can assemble the DNA fragments read in a way to then align the reads non-ambiguously and support the analysis of such copy-number variations (CNVs).

This snakemake pipeline on nanopore whole genome sequencing data provides a complete structural variant analysis. Steps implemented and tools wrapped comprise:

  • fast: minimap2 alignment with Sniffles and SVIM SV calling
  • precise: ngmlr alignment with Sniffles SV calling
  • minimap2: minimap2 alignment with Sniffles, SVIM, NanoSV and npInv SV calling
  • minimap2_pbsv: minimap2 alignment with pbsv-specific parameters with pbsv, SVIM, NanoSV and npInv SV calling
  • ngmlr: ngmlr with Sniffles, NanoSV, SVIM and npInv SV calling
  • last-prepare: create a LAST index and train aligner parameters using last-train
  • last: LAST alignment with tandem-genotypes STR calling

The highly portable Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer has enabled new applications of genome sequencing directly in the field. However, the MinION currently relies on a cloud computing platform, Metrichor (metrichor.com), for translating locally generated sequencing data into basecalls.

Nanocall allows offline and private analysis of MinION data. Nanocall is the first freely-available, open-source basecaller for Oxford Nanopore sequencing data and does not require an internet connection. Using R7.3 chemistry, on two E.coli and two human samples, with natural as well as PCR-amplified DNA, Nanocall reads have ~68% identity, directly comparable to Metrichor "1D" data. Further, Nanocall is efficient, processing ~2500Kbp of sequence per core hour using the fastest settings, and fully parallelized. Using a 4 core desktop computer, Nanocall could basecall a MinION sequencing run in real time. Metrichor provides the ability to integrate the "1D" sequencing of template and complement strands of a single DNA molecule, and create a "2D" read. Nanocall does not currently integrate this technology, and addition of this capability will be an important future development. In summary, Nanocall is the first open-source, freely available, off-line basecaller for Oxford Nanopore sequencing data.

NextSV is an computational pipeline that allows structural variant (SV) calling from PacBio sequencing data using PBhoney and Sniffles. NextSV takes FASTA or FASTQ files as input. Once the SV caller is selected by user, NextSV automatically chooses the compatible aligner and performs mapping. The alignments will be automatically sorted and then presented to the SV caller. Users can change the parameters by modifying its configuration file. When the analysis is finished, NextSV will examine the FASTA/FASTQ, BAM, and result files and generate a report showing various statistics. If more than both callers are selected, NextSV will format the raw result files (.tails, .spots, or .vcf files) into bed files and generate the intersection or union call set for the purpose of higher accuracy or sensitivity.

Ngila is an application that will find the best alignment of a pair of sequences using log-affine gap costs, which are the most biologically realistic gap costs.

Ngila implements the Miller and Myers (1988) algorithm in order to find a least costly global alignment of two sequences given homology costs and a gap cost. Two versions of the algorithm are included: holistic and divide-and-conquer. The former is faster but the latter utilizes less memory. Ngila starts with the divide-and-conquer method but switches to the holistic method for subsequences smaller than a user-established threshold. This improves its speed without substantially increasing memory requirements. Ngila also allows users to assign costs to end gaps that are smaller than costs for internal gaps. This is important for aligning using the free-end-gap method.

OmegaMap is a program for detecting natural selection and recombination in DNA or RNA sequences. It is based on a model of population genetics and molecular evolution. The signature of natural selection is determined by the relative excess of non-synonymous to synonymous polymorphisms. The signature of recombination is detected from the patterns of linkage disequilibrium.

PCMA (profile consistency multiple sequence alignment) is a progressive multiple sequence alignment program that combines two different alignment strategies. Highly similar sequences are aligned in a fast way as in ClustalW, forming pre-aligned groups. The T-Coffee strategy is applied to align the relatively divergent groups based on profile–profile comparison and consistency. The scoring function for local alignments of pre-aligned groups is based on a novel profile–profile comparison method that is a generalization of the PSI-BLAST approach to profile–sequence comparison. PCMA balances speed and accuracy in a flexible way and is suitable for aligning large numbers of sequences.

Version: 1.1.0-1

PhyloPhlAn is a computational pipeline for reconstructing highly accurate and resolved phylogenetic trees based on whole-genome sequence information. The pipeline is scalable to thousands of genomes and uses the most conserved 400 proteins for extracting the phylogenetic signal. PhyloPhlAn also implements taxonomic curation, estimation, and insertion operations.

The main features of PhyloPhlAn are:

  • completely automatic, as the user needs only to provide the (unannotated) protein sequences of the input genomes (as multifasta files of peptides - not nucleotides)
  • very high topological accuracy and resolution because of the use of up to 400 previously identified most conserved proteins
  • the possibility of integrating new genomes in the already reconstructed most comprehensive tree of life (3,171 microbial genomes)
  • taxonomy estimation for the newly inserted genomes
  • taxonomic curation for the produced phylogenetic trees

Phyloviz allows the analysis of sequence-based typing methods that generate allelic profiles and their associated epidemiological data.

For representing the possible evolutionary relationships between strains identified by allelic profiles it uses the goeBURST algorithm, a refinement of eBURST algorithm proposed by Feil et al., and its expansion to generate a complete minimum spanning tree (MST).

Phyloviz is being developed in a modular way to allow its expansion with novel data analysis algorithms and new visualization modules.

Capabilities

  • Modularity allows the creation of plugins to analyse different types of data
  • Allows the visualization of data overlaid onto goeBURST and MST results
  • Confidence assessment of each link in the graph
  • Query the data and see the query results directly onto the graphs
  • Search your data set using regular expressions to select what to display
  • Export the results as images in various formats: eps, png, gif, pdf, etc

Version: 0.0.r15-1

Metaproteomic analysis allows studying the interplay of organisms or functional groups and has become increasingly popular also for diagnostic purposes. However, difficulties arise due to the high sequence similarity between related organisms. Further, the state of conservation of proteins between species can be correlated with their expression level which can lead to significant bias in results and interpretation. These challenges are similar but not identical to the challenges arising in the analysis of metagenomic samples and require specific solutions.

pipasic (peptide intensity-weighted proteome abundance similarity correction) is a tool which corrects identification and spectral counting based quantification results using peptide similarity estimation and expression level weighting within a non-negative lasso framework. pipasic has distinct advantages over approaches only regarding unique peptides or aggregating results to the lowest common ancestor.

PLATO is an acronym for "PLatform for the Analysis, Translation, and Organization of large-scale data". Recent technological advances enable the study of hundreds of thousands of human single-nucleotide polymorphisms at the population level. Because strategies for analyzing these data have not kept pace with the laboratory methods that generate the data, it is unlikely that these advances will immediately lead to an improved understanding of the genetic contribution to common human disease and drug response. Currently, no single analytical method allows us to extract all available information from a whole-genome association study. In fact, no single method can be optimal for all datasets, especially when the genetic architecture for diseases can vary substantially, as is certainly the case. Therefore, an integrative platform is needed to accommodate multiple analytical methods for analysis as we learn more about genetic architecture. As a result, we are developing a system for the analysis of genome-wide association data that will incorporate several analytical approaches as filters to allow a scientist to choose whatever analytical methods they wish to apply. PLATO (PLatform for the Analysis, Translation, and Organization of large-scale data) will incorporate a number of filters to select the important SNPs in a genome-wide association study.

Whole-genome Association Study Pipeline (WASP) has recently been absorbed into PLATO. WASP was designed to aid in retrieving, evaluating, formatting, and analyzing genotypic and clinical data from the latest large-scale genotyping studies. WASP implements a battery of quality control procedures to assess the data. Among the currently available procedures are the examination of marker and sample genotyping efficiency, allele frequency calculations, checks of Mendelian error (if applicable) and gender discrepancies (based on available chromosome X and Y genotypes), and tests of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Additionally, WASP can retrieve and format data for other software programs such as the Graphical Representation of Relationships (GRR) program, or STRUCTURE, and depending on the nature of the samples and the depth of examination the user desires to pursue. Beyond the quality control aspect of this application, WASP can perform standard tests of association using the Transmission Disequilibrium Test TDT for family-based datasets and the chi-square test of association for case-control datasets.

Pufferfish is a new time and memory-efficient data structure for indexing a compacted, colored de Bruijn graph (ccdBG).

Though the de Bruijn Graph (dBG) has enjoyed tremendous popularity as an assembly and sequence comparison data structure, it has only relatively recently begun to see use as an index of the reference sequences (e.g. deBGA, kallisto). Particularly, these tools index the compacted dBG (cdBG), in which all non-branching paths are collapsed into individual nodes and labeled with the string they spell out. This data structure is particularly well-suited for representing repetitive reference sequences, since a single contig in the cdBG represents all occurrences of the repeated sequence. The original positions in the reference can be recovered with the help of an auxiliary "contig table" that maps each contig to the reference sequence, position, and orientation where it appears as a substring. The deBGA paper has a nice description how this kind of index looks (they call it a unipath index, because the contigs we index are unitigs in the cdBG), and how all the pieces fit together to be able to resolve the queries we care about. Moreover, the cdBG can be built on multiple reference sequences (transcripts, chromosomes, genomes), where each reference is given a distinct color (or colour, if you're of the British persuasion). The resulting structure, which also encodes the relationships between the cdBGs of the underlying reference sequences, is called the compacted, colored de Bruijn graph (ccdBG). This is not, of course, the only variant of the dBG that has proven useful from an indexing perspective. The (pruned) dBG has also proven useful as a graph upon which to build a path index of arbitrary variation / sequence graphs, which has enabled very interesting and clever indexing schemes like that adopted in GCSA2. Also, thinking about sequence search in terms of the dBG has led to interesting representations for variation-aware sequence search backed by indexes like the vBWT (implemented in the excellent gramtools package).

Emerging virus diseases present a global threat to public health. To detect viral pathogens in time-critical scenarios, accurate and fast diagnostic assays are required. Such assays can now be established using mass spectrometry-based targeted proteomics, by which viral proteins can be rapidly detected from complex samples down to the strain level with high sensitivity and reproducibility. Developing such targeted assays involves tedious steps of peptide candidate selection, peptide synthesis, and assay optimization. Peptide selection requires extensive preprocessing by comparing candidate peptides against a large search space of background proteins. Purple (Picking Unique Relevant Peptides for viraL Experiments) is a software tool for selecting target-specific peptide candidates directly from given proteome sequence data.

Purple enables peptide candidate selection across various taxonomic levels and filtering against backgrounds of varying complexity. Its functionality is demonstrated using data from different virus species and strains. Purple enables building taxon-specific targeted assays and paves the way to time-efficient and robust viral diagnostics using targeted proteomics.

This is the command line version of purple.

This plugin provides the means to statistically assess the diversity of microbiota. This has direct clinical interest, since with whatever we eat or have antibiotics applied, the survival of different groups of bacteria/yeasts will be affected. From these relative abundances of strains that constribute the microbiome, most prominently, comparisons within a group of samples (or an individual) determines the alpha diversity and between (groups of) samples the beta diversity is inspected.

QTL Reaper is software, written in C and compiled as a Python module, for rapidly scanning microarray expression data for QTLs. It is essentially the batch-oriented version of WebQTL. It requires, as input, expression data from members of a set of recombinant inbred lines and genotype information for the same lines. It searches for an association between each expression trait and all genotypes and evaluates that association by a permutation test. For the permutation test, it performs only as many permutations as are necessary to define the empirical P-value to a reasonable precision. It also performs bootstrap resampling to estimate the confidence region for the location of a putative QTL.

The reaper module is used underneath the http://genenetwork.org site.

ROADTRIPS performs single-SNP, case-control association testing in samples with partially or completely unknown population and pedigree structure. ROADTRIPS uses an empirical covariance matrix calculated from genomewide SNP data to correct for unknown population and pedigree structure, while maintaining high power by taking advantage of known pedigree information when it is available. The program is applicable to association studies with completely general combinations of related and unrelated individuals. Analysis can be performed genomewide (currently just for autosomes).

ROADTRIPS is suitable for applications such as:

  • correcting for possible population structure and/or misspecified relationships in the context of case-control association testing in samples of unrelated individuals and/or related individuals with well- characterized pedigrees
  • case-control association testing in samples from isolated populations for which pedigree information is limited or unavailable

Removal of Spurious Antisense in biological RNA sequences

VCS1.0-1all
Versions and Archs
License: GPL-3.0+
Debian package not available
Git
Version: 1.0-1

In stranded RNA-Seq experiments it is possible to detect and measure antisense transcription, important since antisense transcripts impact gene transcription in several different ways. Stranded RNA-Seq determines the strand from which an RNA fragment originates, and so can be used to identify where antisense transcription may be implicated in gene regulation.

However, spurious antisense reads are often present in experiments, and can manifest at levels greater than 1% of sense transcript levels. This is enough to disrupt analyses by causing false antisense counts to dominate the set of genes with high antisense transcription levels.

The RoSA (Removal of Spurious Antisense) tool detects the presence of high levels of spurious antisense transcripts, by:

  • analysing ERCC spike-in data to find the ratio of antisense:sense transcripts in the spike-ins; or
  • using antisense and sense counts around splice sites to provide a set of gene-specific estimates; or
  • both.

Once RoSA has an estimate of the spurious antisense, expressed as a ratio of antisense:sense counts, RoSA will calculate a correction to the antisense counts based on the ratio. Where a gene-specific estimate is available for a gene, it will be used in preference to the global estimate obtained from either spike-ins or spliced reads.

This package provides the library for the statistics suite R.

RNA-seq is a technology to read at least parts of individual RNA sequences of a tissue sample. After assigning these reads to genes that are likely responsible to have coded for them (mapping), this gives an insight (estimate) about how much these genes have been active (expressed) in that sample. The trickier bits in that process to address is the similarity of genes and the genes being capable to variably but deterministically skip parts of their sequence to be read (introns). A single variantly spliced gene may then yield different sequences (isoforms) and the RNA-seq evaluation better informs about this. It may be relevant for a disease.

Sailfish is particularly good (efficient) in this process. It tricks the complexity by introducing an intermediate level of artificial very short reads to which the alternative splicing is of no concern. That can then be addressed by "telephone-book"-like hashing techniques that are easy and lightning fast. The final presentation is then found to be competitive with established mappers like eXpress and Cufflinks.

In contrast to DNA, proteins exhibit an apparently unlimited variety of structure. This is a necessary requirement of the vast array of differing functions that they perform in the maintainance of life, again, in contrast to the relatively static archival function of DNA. Not only do we observe a bewildering variety of form but even within a common structure, there is variation in the lengths and orientation substructures. Such variation is both a reflection on the very long time periods over which some structures have diverged and also a consequence of the fact that proteins cannot be completely rigid bodies but must have flexibility to accommodate the structural changes that are almost always necessary for them to perform their functions. These aspects make comparing structure and finding structural similarity over long divergence times very difficult. Indeed, computationally, the problem of recognizing similarity is one of three-dimensional pattern recognition, which is a notoriously difficult problem for computers to perform. In this chapter, guidance is provided on the use of a flexible structure comparison method that overcomes many of the problems of comparing protein structures that may exhibit only weak similarity.

Seqwish implements a lossless conversion from pairwise alignments between sequences to a variation graph encoding the sequences and their alignments. As input we typically take all-versus-all alignments, but the exact structure of the alignment set may be defined in an application specific way. This algorithm uses a series of disk-backed sorts and passes over the alignment and sequence inputs to allow the graph to be constructed from very large inputs that are commonly encountered when working with large numbers of noisy input sequences. Memory usage during construction and traversal is limited by the use of sorted disk-backed arrays and succinct rank/select dictionaries to record a queryable version of the graph.

MinION signal-level alignment and methylation detection using hidden Markov Models with hierarchical Dirichlet process kmer learning.

Nanopore sequencing is based on the principal of isolating a nanopore in a membrane separating buffered salt solutions, then applying a voltage across the membrane and monitoring the ionic current through the nanopore. The Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION sequences DNA by recording the ionic current as DNA strands are enzymatically guided through the nanopore. SignalAlign will align the ionic current from the MinION to a reference sequence using a trainable hidden Markov model (HMM). The emissions model for the HMM can either be the table of parametric normal distributions provided by ONT or a hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) mixture of normal distributions. The HDP models enable mapping of methylated bases to your reference sequence.

Strelka2 is a fast and accurate small variant caller optimized for analysis of germline variation in small cohorts and somatic variation in tumor/normal sample pairs. The germline caller employs an efficient tiered haplotype model to improve accuracy and provide read-backed phasing, adaptively selecting between assembly and a faster alignment- based haplotyping approach at each variant locus. The germline caller also analyzes input sequencing data using a mixture-model indel error estimation method to improve robustness to indel noise. The somatic calling model improves on the original Strelka method for liquid and late- stage tumor analysis by accounting for possible tumor cell contamination in the normal sample. A final empirical variant re-scoring step using random forest models trained on various call quality features has been added to both callers to further improve precision.

Tab2MAGE is a software package written and supported by the ArrayExpress curation team, which aims to ease the process of submitting large microarray experiment datasets to our public repository database. To this end, Tab2MAGE currently includes two tools, the tab2mage.pl script itself, and a data file checking script, expt_check.pl. With these scripts it is possible to perform an initial data file validation against an array design (e.g., in the form of an "Array Description File" or ADF), and then to generate MAGE-ML using these data files alongside a separate spreadsheet providing MIAME-compliant sample annotation.

tacg is a character-based, command line tool for unix-like operating systems for pattern-matching in nucleic acids and performing some of the basic protein manipulations. It was originally designed for restriction enzyme analysis of DNA, but has been extended to other types of matching. It now handles degenerate sequence input in a variety of matching approaches, as well as patterns with errors, regular expressions and TRANSFAC-formatted matrices.

It was designed to be a grep for DNA and like the original grep, its capabilities have grown so that now the author has to keep calling up the help page to figure out which flags (now ~50) mean what. tacg is NOT a GUI application in any sense. However, it's existance as a strictly command-line tool lends itself well to Webification and wrapping by various GUI tools and it is now distributed with a web interface form and a Perl CGI handler. Additionally, it can easily be integrated into editors that support shell commands such as nedit.

Version: 1.8.3-1

Only a fraction of the DNA in the human genome (and that of other species that are not optimised for the speed of their replication like viruses) are coding for genes. Other parts may be binding to transcription factors or direct the expression of genes in other ways - these other bits may not be fully understood, and parts may indeed be "junk", but this is only until user finds a clinical feature to be statistically associated with something statistically noteworthy in the DNA sequences.

Features that somehow seem informative when looking at the DNA are whatever does not look like random. This tool looks at a special case of repeats - short regions that are duplicated, i.e. they appear as a tandem. When these repeats are longer, then these would be referred as microsatellites.

When interested in structural variations, within a family/population or to compare cancer tissue with benign samples, you may also want to look at these repeats. This software determines the lengths (and changes to the lengths) across samples and knows how to present this graphically.

Tide implements the SEQUEST algorithm for peptide identification and that achieves a dramatic speedup over Crux and SEQUEST. The optimization strategies detailed here employ a combination of algorithmic and software engineering techniques to achieve speeds up to 170 times faster than a recent version of SEQUEST that uses indexing. For example, on a single Xeon CPU, Tide searches 10,000 spectra against a tryptic database of 27,499 C.\ elegans proteins at a rate of 1,550 spectra per second, which compares favorably with a rate of 8.8 spectra per second for a recent version of SEQUEST with index running on the same hardware.

Small variant calling is an important component of many analyses, and, in many instances, it is important to determine the set of variants which appear in multiple callsets. Variant matching is complicated by variants that have multiple equivalent representations. Normalization and decomposition algorithms have been proposed, but are not robust to different representation of complex variants. The VarMatch algorithm is robust to different representation of complex variants and is particularly effective in low complexity regions or those dense in variants. VarMatch also provides summary statistics, annotations, and visualizations that are useful for understanding callers' performance.

VMD stands for Visual Molecular Dynamics. While text books and even structure databases because of technical problems only present static pictures of proteins or DNA, for the understanding of the properties of those molecules their vibration or their movement in general is important.

The movements itself are calculated by molecular dynamics programs, such as NAMD (by the same group), Rosetta, BALLView or GROMACS. The latter two are already in the distribution, we have package build instructions for Rosetta.

VMD has a series of nice features, from displaying through animation to analysing. It can be scripted, clustered, and runs on all common OS. Its license does not allow to redistribute a Debian package. But to share these build instructions for such a package is just fine.

estferret

License: to be clarified

ESTFerret processes, clusters and annotates EST data. It is user-configurable. Results are currently stored in a series of text tables. Annotation consists of searches against use r-defined blast databases, prosite, GO and allocation of EC numbers where possible.

EST-ferret is a user-configurable, automated pipeline for the convenient analysis of EST sequence data that includes all of the necessary steps for cleanup and trimming, submission to external sequence repositories, clustering, identification by BLAST homology searches and by searches of protein domain databases, annotation with computer-addressable terms and production of outputs for direct entry into microarray analysis packages. It is composed of several widely used, open-source algorithms, including PHRED, CAP3, BLAST, and a range of sequence and annotation databases, including Gene Ontology and Conserved Domain Database to deliver a putative identity and a detailed annotation of each clone. It can be run either step-by-step to track the outputs, or as a single batch process. Users can easily edit the configuration file to define parameter settings.

This package has five major components: (1) ESTs coding system; (2) sequence processing; (3) sequence clustering; (4) sequence annotating and (5) storage and reporting of results. DNA trace files are renamed and converted into FASTA format, cleaned and submitted to dbEST(Boguski, et al, 1993). Sequence assembly uses two rounds of CAP3 to assemble the ESTs into groups corresponding to separate gene families and unique genes. Sequence identification and annotation is provided by a series of BLAST homology searches (Parallel_BLAST and Priority_BLAST) against user-defined sequence databases implemented with the NCBI BLASTALL algorithm. The BLAST results are parsed and annotation terms that reflect functional attributes are captured from Gene Ontology (The Gene Ontology Consortium, 2000), KEGG and Enzyme Commission (EC) databases and applied to each of the clones. CDD (and InterPro) searches are performed for seeking protein domains in the sequences. Other options are provided to run PatSearch, RepeatMasker and BLAT to find UTRs, repeats and EST candidates in genomes. Finally, the package generates analysis reports in a variety of flat file formats, sources of which can be serve as inputs for some gene annotation and gene expression profiling tools, and also as a MySQL database or web-browsable search tool.

splitstree
Analyzing and Visualizing Evolutionary Data
License: to be clarified

Evolutionary data is most often presented as a phylogentic tree, the underlying assumption being that evolution is a branching process. However, real data is never ideal and thus doesn't always support a unique tree, but often supports more than one possible tree. Hence, it makes sense to consider tree reconstruction methods that produce a tree, if the given data heavily favors one tree over all others, but otherwise produces a more general graph that indicates different possible phylogenies. One such method is the Split Decomposition introduced by Hans-Juergen Bandelt and Andreas Dress (1992) and its variations. Another example is Spectral Analysis developed by Hendy, Penny and others.

These and other methods are implemented in the program SplitsTree, that I wrote with contributions from Dave Bryant, Mike Hendy, Holger Paschke, Dave Penny and Udo Toenges. It is based on the Nexus format.

Note: There is a new version 4.0 written from scratch at http://www.splitstree.org/ which requires a license key - so this is probably non-free. Version 3.2 which is linked above has some downloadable source code without any license or copyright statement - so it has to be clarified whether we are able to distribute this code or not.

amoscmp
comparative genome assembly package
License: Artistic
Debian package not available

A comparative assembler is a program that can assemble a set of shotgun reads from an organism by mapping them to the finished sequence of a related organism. Thus, a comparative assembler transforms the traditional overlap-layout-consensus approach to alignment-layout-consensus. The AMOScmp package uses the MUMmer program to perform a mapping of the reads to the reference genome, then processes the alignment results with a sophisticated layout program designed to take into account polymorphisms between the two genomes. For a detailed description of the algorithms involved please refer to the paper listed in the References section.

AMOScmp uses as AMOS messages as both the inputs and the outputs (see documentation). Two utilities are provided to process these files: tarchive2amos - a versatile converter from trace archive .seq, .qual, and .xml information into AMOS formatted data; amos2ace - a converter from AMOS formatted data to the .ACE assembly format. In addition, the AMOS::AmosLib Perl module is provided as a tool for users who prefer to write their own conversion utilities. Please see the documentation included with the distribution for more information.

AMOScmp is part of the AMOS package (see http://amos.sourceforge.net/)- a collaborative effort to develop a modular open-source framework for assembly development.

annovar
annotate genetic variants detected from diverse genomes
License: Open Source for non-profit
Debian package not available

ANNOVAR is an efficient software tool to utilize update-to-date information to functionally annotate genetic variants detected from diverse genomes (including human genome hg18, hg19, as well as mouse, worm, fly, yeast and many others). Given a list of variants with chromosome, start position, end position, reference nucleotide and observed nucleotides, ANNOVAR can perform:

 1. Gene-based annotation: identify whether SNPs or CNVs cause protein coding
    changes and the amino acids that are affected. Users can flexibly use RefSeq
    genes, UCSC genes, ENSEMBL genes, GENCODE genes, or many other gene definition
    systems.
 2. Region-based annotations: identify variants in specific genomic regions,
    for example, conserved regions among 44 species, predicted transcription
    factor binding sites, segmental duplication regions, GWAS hits, database
    of genomic variants, DNAse I hypersensitivity sites, ENCODE
    H3K4Me1/H3K4Me3/H3K27Ac/CTCF sites, ChIP-Seq peaks, RNA-Seq peaks, or many
    other annotations on genomic intervals.
 3. Filter-based annotation: identify variants that are reported in dbSNP,
    or identify the subset of common SNPs (MAF>1%) in the 1000 Genome Project,
    or identify subset of non-synonymous SNPs with SIFT score>0.05, or many
    other annotations on specific mutations.
 4. Other functionalities: Retrieve the nucleotide sequence in any
    user-specific genomic positions in batch, identify a candidate gene list
    for Mendelian diseases from exome data, identify a list of SNPs from
    1000 Genomes that are in strong LD with a GWAS hit, and many other
    creative utilities.

In a modern desktop computer (3GHz Intel Xeon CPU, 8Gb memory), for 4.7 million variants, ANNOVAR requires ~4 minutes to perform gene-based functional annotation, or ~15 minutes to perform stepwise "variants reduction" procedure, making it practical to handle hundreds of human genomes in a day.

In order to construct a reasonably well-connected assembly from such tricky genomes, Arachne provides further tools that can be used after the main module pipeline.

The Arachne code package has been under continuous development since 2000. It began with the classic "overlap-layout-consensus" paradigm and has since developed into a vast collection of tools, implemented in numerous modules, to analyze, visualize and manipulate assemblies. New and improved algorithms are becoming available on a regular basis.

asap
organize the data associated with a genome
Responsible: Andreas Tille
License: GPL
Debian package not available

Developments in genome-wide approaches to biological research have yielded greatly increased quantities of data, necessitating the cooperation of communities of scientists focusing on shared sets of data. ASAP leverages the internet and database technologies to meet these needs. ASAP is designed to organize the data associated with a genome from the early stages of sequence annotation through genetic and biochemical characterization, providing a vehicle for ongoing updates of the annotation and a repository for genome-scale experimental data. Development was motivated by the need to more directly involve a greater community of researchers, with their collective expertise, in keeping the genome annotation current and to provide a synergistic link between up-to-date annotation and functional genomic data. The system is continually under development at the Genome Evolution Lab with the stable, in-use, publicly available University of Wisconsin installation updated regularly.

Software development on ASAP began in early 2002, and ASAP has been continually improved up until the present day. A longstanding goal of the ASAP project was to make the source code of ASAP available so that other installations of ASAP could be implemented. As future ASAP installations come to pass, ASAP will be further extended to be inter-operable between sites.

cdna-db
quality-control checking of finished cDNA clone sequences
License: Artistic
Debian package not available

cdna_db is a software system designed for quality-control checking of finished cDNA clone sequences, and their computational analysis. The combination of a relational db (MySQL) schema, and an object-orientated perl API make it easy to implement high-level analyses of these transcript sequences.

The cdna_db can store cDNA clone sequences, and ESTs and consensus/contig sequences also derived from these clones. These are then used by the system to check cDNA clone sequence identity etc (see deneral_doc.txt). For each clone multiple DNA sequence versions can be stored, if for instance, the finished DNA sequence is revised as part of the sequencing process.

A blast pipeline is implemented together with a job control system (with LSF underlying) so that multiple CPUs can be used in parallel to carry out the blasts of large datasets. The searches can be made incremental, so as more cDNA sequences are added to the databank, just the new clones are blasted.

Utility scripts are provided to delete previous search results, and dump cDNA clones sequences (such as those that passed the QC checking) from the cdna_db.

Debian package not available
Language: C++

GeneZilla is a state-of-the-art program for computational prediction of protein-coding genes in eukaryotic DNA, and is based on the Generalized Hidden Markov Model (GHMM) framework, similar to GENSCAN and GENIE. It is highly reconfigurable and includes software for retraining by the end-user. It is written in highly optimized C++ and runs under most UNIX/Linux platforms. The run time and memory requirements are linear in the sequence length, and are in general much better than those of competing systems, due to GeneZilla's novel decoding algorithm. Graph-theoretic representations of the high scoring open reading frames are provided, allowing for exploration of sub-optimal gene models. It utilizes Interpolated Markov Models (IMMs), Maximal Dependence Decomposition (MDD), and includes states for signal peptides, branch points, TATA boxes, CAP sites, and will soon model CpG islands as well.

GeneZilla is an open-source project hosted at bioinformatics.org and currently consists of ~20,000 lines of code. GeneZilla evolved out of the ab initio eukaryotic gene finder TIGRscan, which was developed at The Institute for Genomic Research over a 3-year period under NIH grants R01-LM06845 and R01-LM007938, and which served as the basis for the comparative gene finder TWAIN.

License: GPL / Artistic
Debian package not available

MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline. It's purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome projects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based quality values. MAKER is also easily trainable: outputs of preliminary runs can be used to automatically retrain its gene prediction algorithm, producing higher quality gene-models on seusequent runs. MAKER's inputs are minimal and its ouputs can be directly loaded into a GMOD database. They can also be viewed in the Apollo genome browser; this feature of MAKER provides an easy means to annotate, view and edit individual contigs and BACs without the overhead of a database. MAKER should prove especially useful for emerging model organism projects with minimal bioinformatics expertise and computer resources

minimus
AMOS lightweight assembler
License: Artistic
Debian package not available

minimus is an assembly pipeline designed specifically for small data-sets, such as the set of reads covering a specific gene. Note that the code will work for larger assemblies (we have used it to assemble bacterial genomes), however, due to its stringency, the resulting assembly will be highly fragmented. For large and/or complex assemblies the execution of Minimus should be followed by additional processing steps, such as scaffolding.

minimus follows the Overlap-Layout-Consensus paradigm and consists of three main modules:

  • overlapper - computes the overlaps between the reads using a modified version of the Smith-Waterman local alignment algorithm
  • tigger - uses the read overlaps to generate the layouts of reads representing individual contigs
  • make-consensus - refines the layouts produced by the tigger to generate accurate multiple alignments within the reads

minimus uses as AMOS messages as both the inputs and the outputs (see documentation). Two utilities are provided to process these files: tarchive2amos - a versatile converter from trace archive .seq, .qual, and .xml information into AMOS formatted data; amos2ace - a converter from AMOS formatted data to the .ACE assembly format. In addition, the AMOS::AmosLib Perl module is provided as a tool for users who prefer to write their own conversion utilities. Please see the documentation included with the distribution for more information.

minimus is part of the AMOS package - a collaborative effort to develop a modular open-source framework for assembly development.

The recent availability of new, less expensive high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies has yielded a dramatic increase in the volume of sequence data that must be analyzed. These data are being generated for several purposes, including genotyping, genome resequencing, metagenomics, and de novo genome assembly projects. Sequence alignment programs such as MUMmer have proven essential for analysis of these data, but researchers will need ever faster, high-throughput alignment tools running on inexpensive hardware to keep up with new sequence technologies.

MUMmerGPU is a low cost, ultra-fast sequence alignment program designed to handle the increasing volume of data produced by new, high-throughput sequencing technologies. MUMmerGPU is a GPGPU drop-in replacement for MUMmer, using the GPUs in common workstations to simultaneously align multiple query sequences against a single reference sequence stored as a suffix tree. By processing the queries in parallel on the highly parallel graphics card, MUMmerGPU achieves more than a 10-fold speedup over a serial CPU version of the sequence alignment kernel, and outperforms MUMmer on a high end CPU by 3.5-fold in total application time when aligning reads from recent sequencing projects using Solexa/Illumina, 454, and Sanger sequencing technologies.

operondb
detect and analyze conserved gene pairs
License: to be clarified
Debian package not available

Comparison of complete microbial genomes reveals a large number of conserved gene clusters - sets of genes that have the same order in two or more different genomes. Such gene clusters often, but not always represent a co-transcribed unit, or operon. A method was developed to detect and analyze conserved gene pairs - pairs of genes that are located close on the same DNA strand in two or more bacterial genomes. For each conserved gene pair, an estimate of probability is calculated that the genes belong to the same operon. The algorithm takes into account several alternative possibilities. One is that functionally unrelated genes may have the same order due simply because they were adjacent in a common ancestor. Other possibilities are that genes may be adjacent in two genomes by chance alone, or due to horizontal transfer of the gene pair.

The method is modified from the one described in: Maria D. Ermolaeva, Owen White and Steven L. Salzberg. Prediction of Operons in Microbial Genomes. Nucleic Acids Research, 29, 1216-1221, (2001)

OperonDB was supported by the NIH under grant R01-LM007938 and by the NSF under grant DBI-0234704.

phagefinder
heuristic computer program to identify prophage regions within bacterial genomes
License: GPL
Debian package not available
Language: Perl

It uses tab-delimited results from NCBI BLASTALL or WU BLASTP 2.0 searches against a collection of bacteriophage protein sequences and results from HMMSEARCH analysis of 441 phage-specific HMMs to locate prophage regions. By using FASTA33, MUMMER or BLASTN, it can find potential attachment (att) sites of the phage region(s). Data from tRNAscan-SE and Aragorn are used to determine whether a tRNA or tmRNA served as the putative target for integration. Additionally, by looking for the presence or absence of specific proteins using specific HMM models, Phage_Finder can predict whether the region is most likely prophage and which type (Mu, P2, or retron R73), an integrated element, a plasmid, or a degenerate phage region.

The goal of this project is to provide an open-sourced, standardized and automated system to identify and classify prophages within prokaryotic genomes. It is hoped that this package will facilitate future studies on the biology and evolution of these prophages by providing a level of microbial genome annotation that was previously void.

ROSE is a program which identifies regions between two genomes which are likely to contain orthologous genes. The two genomes are given as two multi fasta files of DNA sequences. The PROmer program from the MUMmer package needs to be run first between the two genomes, and the resulting delta file is then input to ROSE. If a previous annotation is available for one or both genomes, then the coordinates of the annotated genes from a genome can be optionally given as input in a gff file. The gene coordinates will be used to guide the length of the regions produced by ROSE. By default, when finding a region of consistent alignments, ROSE will add a user-defined margin (1000 bp by default) on either side of that region. When a predicted gene overlaps an alignment we use the gene prediction to extend the boundaries of the output region.
