ABySS-Explorer - Novel graph-based representation of sequence assembly

http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/abyss-explorer/

v1_3_0_user_manual.pdf (local copy)

ABySS-Explorer is an interactive Java application that employs a novel graph-based representation to display a sequence assembly and associated meta data. The tool was designed with the ABySS sequence assembler in mind and was motivated by the need to examine assembly structure, in particular contig connectivity and supporting paired-end read relationships.

breakdancer - genome-wide detection of structural variants from paired-end reads

https://github.com/genome/breakdancer

Brief description copied from the home page

BreakDancer-1.3.6, released under GPLv3, is a Cpp package that provides genome-wide detection of structural variants from next generation paired-end sequencing reads. It includes two complementary programs. BreakDancerMax predicts five types of structural variants: insertions, deletions, inversions, inter- and intra-chromosomal translocations from next-generation short paired-end sequencing reads using read pairs that are mapped with unexpected separation distances or orientation. BreakDancerMini focuses on detecting small indels (usually between 10bp and 100bp) using normally mapped read pairs. Please read our paper for detailed algorithmic description.

Manual (local copy): distructManual.pdf

Publication (local copy): distructNote.pdf

Installation notes

Abstract: In analysis of multilocus genotypes from structured populations, individual coefficients of membership in subpopulations are often estimated using programs such as STRUCTURE. DISTRUCT provides a general method for visualizing these estimated membership coefficients. Subpopulations are represented as colours, and individuals are depicted as bars partitioned into coloured segments that correspond to membership coefficients in the subgroups.
 
DISTRUCT, available at www.cmb.usc.edu/~noahr/distruct.html (This link no longer works), can also be used to display subpopulation assignment probabilities when individuals are assumed to have ancestry in only one group.

MAP2 - Computes a multiple global alignment of sequences using iterative pairwise method

http://deepc2.psi.iastate.edu/aat/map2/map2.html web site no longer exists Dec. 11, 2016

Documentation page

map2 is in the default PATH for all users, to use it type map2

Some information copied from the doc page

The MAP program computes a multiple global alignment of sequences using iterative pairwise method. The underlying algorithm for aligning two sequences computes a best overlapping alignment bewteen two sequences without penalizing terminal gaps. In addition, long internal gaps in short sequences are not heavily penalized. So MAP is good at producing an alignment where there are long terminal or internal gaps in some sequences. The MAP program is designed in a space-efficient manner, so long sequences can be aligned. Note that sequences must be all DNA/cDNA sequences or all protein sequences.

Program parameters (obtained by running map2 with no parameters):

Usage: /usr/local/bin/map2 Seq major_diff mismatch gap_open gap_extend

Seq           file of multiple sequences in FASTA format
major_diff    gap length for a constant gap penalty, a positive integer
mismatch      a negative integer for DNA or PAM250/BLOSUM62 for protein

A brief description from the

This tool allows the identification and localization of perfect microsatellites as well as compound microsatellites which are interrupted by a certain number of bases.
In order to design primers flanking the microsatellite loci, two perl scripts serve as interface modules for the program-to-program data interchange between MISA and the primer modelling software Primer3 (Whitehead Institute).

Rnnotator - de novo assembly of RNA-Seq data without need for a reference genome

Manual: Rnnotator2.3Manual.pdf

The program is installed in /usr/local/bin/rnnotator, this is not currently in the default PATH

Video describing Rnnotator pipeline: http://www.scivee.tv/node/19174

Description from the manual:

Comprehensive annotation and quantification of transcriptomes are outstanding problems in functional genomics. Rnnotator is an automated software pipeline that generates transcript models by de novo assembly of RNA-Seq data without the need for a reference genome. The contigs produced by Rnnotator are highly accurate and reconstruct fulllength genes when transcripts are sequenced sufficiently deep, roughly 30X for a given transcript. Rnnotator was designed to assemble Illumina single or paired-end reads. Rnnotator is also able to incorporate strand-specific RNA-Seq reads into the assembly in order to further improve the assembly.

TGICL - Gene Index Clustering Tool

TGICL logo

http://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/tgi/software/
Software download page is http://sourceforge.net/projects/tgicl/

For documentation type perldoc -F /usr/local/bin/TGICL-2.1/bin/tgicl

Description copied from the above command:

The Gene Index Clustering Tool (TGICL) is a software package that tries to efficiently cluster and create assemblies (contigs) from a set of input DNA sequences given in a fasta file. The "clustering" phase is intended to partition the input data set into smaller groups of sequences (clusters) that due to stringent similarity have a greater probability to originate from the same longer sequence. However, the clustering phase does not perform any multiple alignment but only fast pairwise alignments (using megablast), which are then filtered and used to build subsets of sequences by a transitive closure approach. In the assembly phase each such cluster is sent to the assembly program (cap3) which attempts the multiple alignment of the sequences in the cluster and creates one or more contigs (consensus sequences). Both clustering and assembly phases can be executed in parallel on multiple CPU machines or in a PVM environment.

TreeLD - Tool for mapping complex trait loci

http://pritch.bsd.uchicago.edu/software.html

Documentation http://pritch.bsd.uchicago.edu/treeld/TreeLD_Doc/Documentation.html

Publication (local copy): Bioinformatics-2005-Zollner-3168-70.pdf

TreeLD is a software tool for mapping complex trait loci, developed by Zollner and Pritchard (2005). TreeLD performs a multipoint LD-analysis by inferring the ancestry of a genomic region and analyzing this ancestry for signals of disease mutations. The generated likelihoods can be used to test for the presence of a disease locus and to fine-map its location, providing a point estimate and a credible region. Furthermore, the package provides a novel way of visualizing the association signal in a sample. TreeLD is designed for high-density SNP haplotypes and can be applied to case-control data, TDT trio data and quantitative trait data. Download TreeLD 1.0

USEARCH - A unique high-throughput sequence analysis tool

http://drive5.com/usearch/

Installed to default PATH for all users, type usearch

USEARCH is a unique high-throughput sequence analysis tool. It is a distributed as single binary program that implements a suite of algorithms comparable to BLASTN, BLASTP, BLASTX, BLASTCLUST, CD-HIT, CD-HIT-EST, CD-HIT-2D, CD-HIT-EST-2D, CD-HIT-OTU, CD-HIT-454, ChimeraSlayer, Perseus, RAPsearch and more. It supports a rich set of sequence matching options, including E-values, identity, coverage (fraction of query or target sequence covered by the alignment) and maximum gap length, and a range of output file formats including FASTA, BLAST-like, user-defined tabbed text and a native format designed for clustering applications. Supported alignment styles include local (gapped and ungapped), like BLAST, and global, which is most often used in clustering applications. User-settable parameters allow tuning of substitution scores, gap penalties and Karlin-Altschul statistics.
