The SeqSelector toolset is a suite of user-friendly, platform independent python scripts to facilitate selection of sequences for targeted enrichment of next-generation libraries through hybridization-based sequence capture. The scripts require no knowledge of programming, and can be applied to genome sequences of model or non-model species. We suggest a workflow in which genes of interest are first identified from previous studies and publicly available datasets of functional gene annotation. Once a list of candidate genes has been identified, their sequences are selected from the reference genome. These sequences are used as a query during a BLAST search of the unannotated genome of a non-model species, and then the corresponding sequences are returned, which can be used to design baits for hybridization-based sequence capture.

We introduce ARDEN (Artificial Reference Driven Estimation of false positives in NGS data), 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.

Mix is a tool that combines two or more draft assemblies, without relying on a reference genome and has the goal to reduce contig fragmentation and thus speed-up genome finishing. The proposed algorithm builds an extension graph where vertices represent extremities of contigs and edges represent existing alignments between these extremities. These alignment edges are used for contig extension. The resulting output assembly corresponds to a path in the extension graph that maximizes the cumulative contig length. ...

This is the backend source code of the Atlas2-Cloud pipeline on Amazon which starts and terminates worker nodes, runs analysis and monitors worker instances. It is PRIMARILY meant to be used through Amazon Web Services (AWS) management console by looking for the public Atlas2-Cloud machine image. Alternatively, the code can also be used for running the pipeline from your computer. By installing this software on your computer you will be setting up your computer to act as the head node...

GWCNV is a genome-wide algorithm for detecting CNV associations with diseases. It works directly on a transformation of intensity data. It is powerful and sensitive in detecting small CNV associations, and retains high power for large CNVs.

The RDXplorer is a computational tool for copy number variants (CNV) detection in whole human genome sequence data using read depth (RD) coverage. CNV detection is based on the Event-Wise Testing (EWT) algorithm recently published by our group.

MAXIMUS is a genome assembly pipeline which takes the best out of multiple reference assemblies and de novo assembly. The benefits of this approach include better assembled repetitive regions, less gaps and higher accuracy for the resultant assembly.

Perform local clustering on vector data. Alternatively: psi_square, psisquare

pygr is a bioinformatics toolkit for sequence analysis and comparative genomics. pygr is highly scalable (e.g. one can easily query multi-genome alignments) and easy to use. Please see our new project page and wiki at http://code.google.com/p/pygr.

Random Genome Sequence Downloader.

ArrayOligoSelector (AOS) systematically designs gene specific long oligo probes for entire genomes. The program optimizes the oligo selections for several parameters, including uniqueness in the genome, internal repeats, self-binding, and GC content.
