SLIQ Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
SLIQ (RRID:SCR_005003) | SLIQ | software resource | Software for simple linear inequalities based Mate-Pair reads filtering and scaffolding. A set of simple linear inequalities (SLIQ) derived from the geometry of contigs on the line that can be used to predict the relative positions and orientations of contigs from individual mate pair reads and thus produce a contig digraph. The SLIQ inequalities can also filter out unreliable mate pairs and can be used as a pre-processing step for any scaffolding algorithm. This tool filters mate pairs and then produces a Directed Contig Graph (contig diGraph). Also provided is a Naive scaffolder that can then produce scaffolds out of the contig diGraph. | python, scaffolding, contig position, contig orientation, bio.tools |

cortex var Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
cortex var (RRID:SCR_005081) | cortex_var | software resource | A tool for genome assembly and variation analysis from sequence data. You can use it to discover and genotype variants on single or multiple haploid or diploid samples. If you have multiple samples, you can use Cortex to look specifically for variants that distinguish one set of samples (eg phenotype=X, cases, parents, tumour) from another set of samples (eg phenotype=Y, controls, child, normal). cortex_var features * Variant discovery by de novo assembly - no reference genome required * Supports multicoloured de Bruijn graphs - have multiple samples loaded into the same graph in different colours, and find variants that distinguish them. * Capable of calling SNPs, indels, inversions, complex variants, small haplotypes * Extremely accurate variant calling - see our paper for base-pair-resolution validation of entire alleles (rather than just breakpoints) of SNPs, indels and complex variants by comparison with fully sequenced (and finished) fosmids - a level of validation beyond that demanded of any other variant caller we are aware of - currently cortex_var is the most accurate variant caller for indels and complex variants. * Capable of aligning a reference genome to a graph and using that to call variants * Support for comparing cases/controls or phenotyped strains * Typical memory use: 1 high coverage human in under 80Gb of RAM, 1000 yeasts in under 64Gb RAM, 10 humans in under 256 Gb RAM | genome assembly, variation analysis, sequence, variation, genotype variant, haploid, diploid, snp, indel, inversion, variant, haplotype, de novo assembly, genotyping, variant-calling, population analysis, population assembly |

HPC-CLUST Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
HPC-CLUST (RRID:SCR_005052) | HPC-CLUST | software resource | A set of tools designed to cluster large numbers (>1 million) of pre-aligned nucleotide sequences. It performs the clustering of sequences using the Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm (HCA). There are currently three different cluster metrics implemented: single-linkage, complete-linkage, and average-linkage. In addition, there are currently four sequence distance functions implemented, these are: identity (gap-gap counting as match), nogap (gap-gap being ignored), nogap-single (like nogap, but consecutive gap-nogap''s count as a single mismatch), tamura (distance is calculated with the knowledge that transitions are more likely than transversions). One advantage that HCA has over other algorithms is that instead of producing only the clustering at a given threshold, it produces the set of merges occuring at each threshold. With this approach, the clusters can afterwards very quickly be reported for every arbitrary threshold with little extra computation. This approach also allows the plotting of the variation of number of clusters with clustering threshold without requiring the clustering to be run for each threshold independently. Another feature of the way HPC-CLUST is implemented is that the single-, complete-, and average-linkage clusterings can be computed in a single run with little overhead. | c++, mpi |
