HHrepID 1.0.0 – de novo Protein Repeat Detection

HHrepID 1.0.0

:: DESCRIPTION

HHrepID is a novel automated procedure for the de novo identification of repeats in protein sequences. It is able to detect the sequence signature of structural repeats in many proteins that have not yet been known to possess internal sequence symmetry, such as TIM barrels and outer membrane beta-barrels. HHrepID uses HMM-HMM comparison to exploit evolutionary information in the form of the multiple sequence alignment of homologs, but in contrast to HHrep, the new method has several novel characteristics: (1) automated generation of a multiple alignment of repeats; (2) utilization of the transitive nature of homology through a novel merging procedure based on the fully probabilistic treatment of alignments; (3) superior alignment quality through an algorithm that maximizes the expected accuracy of an alignment; (4) the ability to identify different repeats within complicated architectures or multiple domains through automatic domain boundary detection, (5) new statistical treatment yielding improved sensitivity.

MAP 20121108 – A de novo Metagenomic Assembly program for Shotgun DNA reads

MAP 20121108

:: DESCRIPTION

MAP (Metagenomic Assembly program) is a de novo assembly approach and its implementation based on an improved Overlap/Layout/Consensus (OLC) strategy incorporated with several special algorithms.MAP uses the mate pair information, resulting in being more applicable to shotgun DNA reads (recommended as > 200 bp) currently widely-used in metagenome projects. Results of extensive tests on simulated data show that MAP can be superior to both Celera and Phrap for typical longer reads by Sanger sequencing, as well as has an evident advantage over Celera, Newbler, and the newest Genovo, for typical shorter reads by 454 sequencing.

DETONATE 1.11 – DE novo TranscriptOme rNa-seq Assembly with or without the Truth Evaluation

DETONATE 1.11

:: DESCRIPTION

DETONATE consists of two component packages, RSEM-EVAL and REF-EVAL. Both packages are mainly intended to be used to evaluate de novo transcriptome assemblies, although REF-EVAL can be used to compare sets of any kinds of genomic sequences.

IDBA / IDBA-UD 1.1.1 – De Bruijn Graph De Novo Assembler with Highly Uneven Sequencing Depth

IDBA-UD 1.1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

 IDBA is a practical iterative De Bruijn Graph De Novo Assembler for sequence assembly in bioinfomatics. Most assemblers based on de Bruijn graph build a de Bruijn graph with a specific k to perform the assembling task. For all of them, it is very crucial to find a specific value of k. If k is too large, there will be a lot of gap problems in the graph. If k is too small, there will a lot of branch problems. IDBA uses not only one specific k but a range of k values to build the iterative de Bruijn graph. It can keep all the information in graphs with different k values. So, it will perform better than other assemblers.

IDBA-UD is a iterative De Bruijn Graph De Novo Assembler for Short Reads Sequencing data with Highly Uneven Sequencing Depth. It is an extension of IDBA algorithm. IDBA-UD also iterates from small k to a large k. In each iteration, short and low-depth contigs are removed iteratively with cutoff threshold from low to high to reduce the errors in low-depth and high-depth regions. Paired-end reads are aligned to contigs and assembled locally to generate some missing k-mers in low-depth regions. With these technologies, IDBA-UD can iterate k value of de Bruijn graph to a very large value with less gaps and less branches to form long contigs in both low-depth and high-depth regions.
