    • small_rna_maps: Generates small read maps from alignment BAM files. Generates read count maps from alignment BAM files, using pysam and r-lattice. In addition to the read counts (bars), median sizes, mean sizes and coverages of reads mapping at a any given position are plotted in graphs. Takes sorted BAM files as inputs and produce pdf outputs.
    • lumpy_sv: Find structural variations. This tool takes as an input a sorted bam alignment of paired-end sequencing reads. It extracts discordant paired-end alignments and split-read alignments, and generates a vcf file containing structural variation calls.

  • From mmonot:

    • phageterm: Determine Bacteriophage Termini and Packaging Mode using randomly fragmented NGS data. PhageTerm software is a tool to determine phage termini and packaging mode from high throughput sequences that rely on the random fragmentation of DNA (e.g. Illumina TruSeq but NOT Nextera). Phage sequencing reads from a fastq file are aligned to the phage reference genome in order to calculate two types of coverage values (whole genome coverage and the starting position coverage). The starting position coverage is used to perform a detailed termini analysis. If the user provides the host sequence, reads that does not match the phage genome are tested on the host using the same mapping function.

    • viennarna_kinwalker: Wrapper for ViennaRNA application kinwalker. RNA secondary structure prediction through energy minimization is the most used function in the package. There are three kinds of dynamic programming algorithms for structure prediction provided: 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, we provide an algorithm to design sequences with a predefined structure (inverse folding).

  • From sarahinraauzeville:

    • dna_inserts_reconstruction: This tool is the first step of the fosmid assembly and annotation pipeline. PIPELINE: This tool is the first step of the fosmid assembly and annotation pipeline. It assembles raw reads, looks for and removes the cloning vector, and extracts the longest and the most covered contigs. It has been build to handle two types of raw reads as inputs : single (454, ion torrent reads,...) or paired (Illumina,...) reads. This tools is not able to process PacBio or Oxford Nanopore reads. Raw read fastq file organization and naming The raw read files are organized in directories, one per sample. In the directories, each fastq file has to be gzipped. All the sample directories must be zipped in an unique file. The input files must be named "MiSeq.zip" (Paired.zip) for paired files, and "Proton.zip" (Single.zip) for single read files. Even if you have only one fastq file, this gz fastq file should also be in a zipped directory. When you upload your inputs files, choose the "no_unzip.zip" format. The assembly is perform by SPAdes. Assembly and post processing steps : 1 ) 100x before assembling read Sub-selection. 2 ) SPAdes (more information on http://bioinf.spbau.ru/en/spades) assembly. vector detection : the vector is searched and masked in the assembled contigs using cross-match (http://www.phrap.org/phredphrapconsed.html) contig filtering : the result file only includes contigs containing the vector and having a average depth of XXX. Warning Input fastq files name for paired data should contain "R1.f*" (R1.fq.. or R1.fastq...) and "R2.f*" to be identify as paired data by this tool. Outputs : The outputs are presented in a table containing one line per assembled sample. Each line contains the name of the sample, the number of resulting contigs, the length of the longest contig, the total length of the contigs and a link to the contig fasta file. Underneath the table there is a link to to complete result file containing all the resulting fasta files organized in directories named after the samples. Version Galaxy Tool : V1.0.
