PowerBLAST: a new network BLAST application for interactive or automated sequence analysis and annotation.

Project description:As the rate of DNA sequencing increases, analysis by sequence similarity search will need to become much more efficient in terms of sensitivity, specificity, automation potential, and consistency in annotation. PowerBLAST was developed, in part, to address these problems. PowerBLAST includes a number of options for masking repetitive elements and low complexity subsequences. It also has the capacity to restrict the search to any level of NCBI's taxonomy index, thus supporting "comparative genomics" applications. Postprocessing of the BLAST output using the SIM series of algorithms produces optimal, gapped alignments, and multiple alignments when a region of the query sequence matches multiple database sequences. PowerBLAST is capable of processing sequences of any length because it divides long query sequences into overlapping fragments and then merges the results after searching. The results may be viewed graphically, as a textual representation, or as an HTML page with links to GenBank and Entrez. For matching database sequences, annotated features are superimposed on the aligned query sequence in the output, thus greatly increasing the ease of interpretation. Such features may be used for automated annotation of new sequence because PowerBLAST output in ASN.1 form may be "dragged and dropped" into NCBI's Sequin program for sequence annotation and submission. PowerBLAST is capable of analyzing and annotating a 100-kb query in 60 min on NCBI's BLAST server.

An assessment of genome annotation coverage across the bacterial tree of life.

Project description:Although gene-finding in bacterial genomes is relatively straightforward, the automated assignment of gene function is still challenging, resulting in a vast quantity of hypothetical sequences of unknown function. But how prevalent are hypothetical sequences across bacteria, what proportion of genes in different bacterial genomes remain unannotated, and what factors affect annotation completeness? To address these questions, we surveyed over 27 000 bacterial genomes from the Genome Taxonomy Database, and measured genome annotation completeness as a function of annotation method, taxonomy, genome size, 'research bias' and publication date. Our analysis revealed that 52 and 79 % of the average bacterial proteome could be functionally annotated based on protein and domain-based homology searches, respectively. Annotation coverage using protein homology search varied significantly from as low as 14 % in some species to as high as 98 % in others. We found that taxonomy is a major factor influencing annotation completeness, with distinct trends observed across the microbial tree (e.g. the lowest level of completeness was found in the Patescibacteria lineage). Most lineages showed a significant association between genome size and annotation incompleteness, likely reflecting a greater degree of uncharacterized sequences in 'accessory' proteomes than in 'core' proteomes. Finally, research bias, as measured by publication volume, was also an important factor influencing genome annotation completeness, with early model organisms showing high completeness levels relative to other genomes in their own taxonomic lineages. Our work highlights the disparity in annotation coverage across the bacterial tree of life and emphasizes a need for more experimental characterization of accessory proteomes as well as understudied lineages.

Canary: an automated tool for the conversion of MaCH imputed dosage files to PLINK files.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated the value of re-analysing publicly available genetics data with recent analytical approaches. Publicly available datasets, such as the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) offered by the database of genotypes and phenotypes (dbGaP), provide a wealthy resource for researchers to perform multiple analyses, including Genome-Wide Association Studies. Often, the genetic information of individuals in these datasets are stored in imputed dosage files output by MaCH; mldose and mlinfo files. In order for researchers to perform GWAS studies with this data, they must first be converted to a file format compatible with their tool of choice e.g., PLINK. Currently, there is no published tool which easily converts the datasets provided in MACH dosage files into PLINK-ready files.ResultsHerein, we present Canary a singularity-based tool which converts MaCH dosage files into PLINK-compatible files with a single line of user input at the command line. Further, we provide a detailed tutorial on preparation of phenotype files. Moreover, Canary comes with preinstalled software often used during GWAS studies, to further increase the ease-of-use of HPC systems for researchers.ConclusionsUntil now, conversion of imputed data in the form of MaCH mldose and mlinfo files needed to be completed manually. Canary uses singularity container technology to allow users to automatically convert these MaCH files into PLINK compatible files. Additionally, Canary provides researchers with a platform to conduct GWAS analysis more easily as it contains essential software needed for conducting GWAS studies, such as PLINK and Bioconductor. We hope that this tool will greatly increase the ease at which researchers can perform GWAS with imputed data, particularly on HPC environments.

Embedding and publishing interactive, 3-dimensional, scientific figures in Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Project description:With the latest release of the S2PLOT graphics library, embedding interactive, 3-dimensional (3-d) scientific figures in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files is simple, and can be accomplished without commercial software. In this paper, we motivate the need for embedding 3-d figures in scholarly articles. We explain how 3-d figures can be created using the S2PLOT graphics library, exported to Product Representation Compact (PRC) format, and included as fully interactive, 3-d figures in PDF files using the movie15 LaTeX package. We present new examples of 3-d PDF figures, explain how they have been made, validate them, and comment on their advantages over traditional, static 2-dimensional (2-d) figures. With the judicious use of 3-d rather than 2-d figures, scientists can now publish, share and archive more useful, flexible and faithful representations of their study outcomes. The article you are reading does not have embedded 3-d figures. The full paper, with embedded 3-d figures, is recommended and is available as a supplementary download from PLoS ONE (File S2).

AncesTree: An interactive immunoglobulin lineage tree visualizer.

Project description:High-throughput sequencing of human immunoglobulin genes allows analysis of antibody repertoires and the reconstruction of clonal lineage evolution. The study of antibodies (Abs) affinity maturation is of specific interest to understand the generation of Abs with high affinity or broadly neutralizing activities. Moreover, phylogenic analysis enables the identification of the key somatic mutations required to achieve optimal antigen binding. The Immcantation framework provides a start-to-finish set of analytical methods for high-throughput adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing (AIRR-Seq; Rep-Seq) data. Furthermore, Immcantation's Change-O package has developed IgPhyML, an algorithm designed to build specifically immunoglobulin (Ig) phylogenic trees. Meanwhile Phylip, an algorithm that has been originally developed for applications in ecology and macroevolution, can also be used for the phylogenic reconstruction of antibodies maturation pathway. To complement Ig lineages made by IgPhyML or Dnaml (Phylip), we developed AncesTree, a graphic user interface (GUI) that aims to give researchers the opportunity to interactively explore antibodies clonal evolution. AncesTree displays interactive immunoglobulins phylogenic tree, Ig related mutations and sequence alignments using additional information coming from specialized antibody tools. The GUI is a Java standalone application allowing interaction with Ig tree that can run under Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

Generation of artificial FASTQ files to evaluate the performance of next-generation sequencing pipelines.

Project description:Pipelines for the analysis of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data are generally composed of a set of different publicly available software, configured together in order to map short reads of a genome and call variants. The fidelity of pipelines is variable. We have developed ArtificialFastqGenerator, which takes a reference genome sequence as input and outputs artificial paired-end FASTQ files containing Phred quality scores. Since these artificial FASTQs are derived from the reference genome, it provides a gold-standard for read-alignment and variant-calling, thereby enabling the performance of any NGS pipeline to be evaluated. The user can customise DNA template/read length, the modelling of coverage based on GC content, whether to use real Phred base quality scores taken from existing FASTQ files, and whether to simulate sequencing errors. Detailed coverage and error summary statistics are outputted. Here we describe ArtificialFastqGenerator and illustrate its implementation in evaluating a typical bespoke NGS analysis pipeline under different experimental conditions. ArtificialFastqGenerator was released in January 2012. Source code, example files and binaries are freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public License v3.0. from https://sourceforge.net/projects/artfastqgen/.
