QuasiRecomb 1.2 – Inference of Quasispecies subjected to Recombination

QuasiRecomb 1.2

:: DESCRIPTION

QuasiRecomb is a software of Inference of Quasispecies subjected to Recombination.RNA viruses are present in a single host as a population of different but related strains. This population, shaped by the combination of genetic change and selection, is called quasispecies. Genetic change is due to both point mutations and recombination events. We present a jumping hidden Markov model that describes the generation of the viral quasispecies and a method to infer its parameters by analysing next generation sequencing data. We offer an implementation of the EM algorithm to find maximum a posteriori estimates of the model parameters and a method to estimate the distribution of viral strains in the quasispecies. The model is validated on simulated data, showing the advantage of explicitly taking the recombination process into account, and tested by applying to reads obtained from experimental HIV samples.

3SEQ 1.1.0812 – Software for Detecting Recombination in Sequence data

3SEQ 1.1.0812

:: DESCRIPTION

3SEQ is a software program for identifying mosaic structure or recombination in nucleotide sequence data. 3SEQ takes as input a data set with a minimum of three aligned sequences, and it tests whether any sequence in the data set is a recombinant or mosaic of any other two sequences in the data set.

IRiS – Identification of Recombinations in Sequences

IRiS

:: DESCRIPTION

IRiS produces a subARG in two phases by given a collection of haplotypes. A combinatorial algorithm called the DSR is a model-based approach to detecting recombinations in haplotypes (with a guaranteed approximation factor). The algorithm is based on iteratively classifying sets of lineages as dominant, subdominant or recombinant (DSR). In the first phase, DSR is run multiple times with different sets of parameters and statistical consensus is derived from them to produce a matrix of recombination information called the recomatrix. This encodes the local topology information of only the high confidence recombination events detected in the first phase. The subARG is constructed from the recomatrix in the second phase
