Genome assembly statistical tools

I’ll follow up what a few others have mentioned, but I like stats.sh within the BBTools package for raw assembly stats. I’ll then polish my assembly and pare it down to the targeted contigs (eg. those annotated as bacteria/viruses/your genome of interest/etc.) then I like to use quast/metaquast to evaluate…

SituSeq: an offline protocol for rapid and remote Nanopore 16S rRNA amplicon sequence analysis

For the initial test of this protocol, DNA extraction, PCR, Nanopore library preparation, Nanopore sequencing, and subsequent data analysis were conducted at sea aboard the R/V Atlantic Condor in August 2021 [26]. This investigational effort resulted in the sequencing and analysis of deep sea sediment samples within hours of their…

Sorting a STAR-output bam file with samtools leads to a significant reduction in size of the sorted bam file

I am not too familiar with the subject, neither with details of compression algorithms and nor the exact specification of the BAM format, but I think it is just a matter of more or less efficient compression. Various implementations of zlib exist and the samtools authors have run some benchmarks…

Determinants of associations between codon and amino acid usage patterns of microbial communities and the environment inferred based on a cross-biome metagenomic analysis

Data collection Metagenomic project information was collected from the MGnify metagenomic database31. Currently (September 2021), microbiome data (sequence, taxonomic, and functional information, etc.) of 325,323 environmental samples can be found in this database. Often, microbes from similar ecological communities have been studied by different groups at different times and locations….

Haplotype divergence supports long-term asexuality in the oribatid mite Oppiella nova

Significance Putatively ancient asexual species pose a challenge to theory because they appear to escape the predicted negative long-term consequences of asexuality. Although long-term asexuality is difficult to demonstrate, specific signatures of haplotype divergence, called the “Meselson effect,” are regarded as strong support for long-term asexuality. Here, we provide evidence…

ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM 2 encodes a STERILE ALPHA MOTIF–containing protein that controls root growth angle in barley and wheat

    Significance To date, the potential of utilizing root traits in plant breeding remains largely untapped. In this study, we cloned and characterized the ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM2 (EGT2) gene of barley that encodes a STERILE ALPHA MOTIF domain–containing protein. We demonstrated that EGT2 is a key gene of root growth…
