Title: NanoPack: visualizing and processing long-read sequencing data
Abstract Summary

Here we describe NanoPack, a set of tools developed for visualization and processing of long-read sequencing data from Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Pacific Biosciences.

Availability and implementation

The NanoPack tools are written in Python3 and released under the GNU GPL3.0 License. The source code can be found at https://github.com/wdecoster/nanopack, together with links to separate scripts and their documentation. The scripts are compatible with Linux, Mac OS and the MS Windows 10 subsystem for Linux and are available as a graphical user interface, a web service at http://nanoplot.bioinf.be and command line tools.

Supplementary information

Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

  1. Abstract Motivation

    Advances in mass spectrometry have led to the development of mass spectrometers with ion mobility spectrometry capabilities and dual-source instrumentation; however, the current software ecosystem lacks interoperability with downstream data analysis using open-source software and pipelines.

    Results

    Here, we present TIMSCONVERT, a data conversion high-throughput workflow from timsTOF Pro/fleX mass spectrometer raw data files to mzML and imzML formats that incorporates ion mobility data while maintaining compatibility with data analysis tools. We showcase several examples using data acquired across different experiments and acquisition modalities on the timsTOF fleX MS.

    Availability and implementation

    TIMSCONVERT and its documentation can be found at https://github.com/gtluu/timsconvert and is available as a standalone command-line interface tool for Windows and Linux, NextFlow workflow and online in the Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) platform.

  2. Abstract Summary

    The ease with which phylogenomic data can be generated has drastically escalated the computational burden for even routine phylogenetic investigations. To address this, we present phyx: a collection of programs written in C ++ to explore, manipulate, analyze and simulate phylogenetic objects (alignments, trees and MCMC logs). Modelled after Unix/GNU/Linux command line tools, individual programs perform a single task and operate on standard I/O streams that can be piped to quickly and easily form complex analytical pipelines. Because of the stream-centric paradigm, memory requirements are minimized (often only a single tree or sequence in memory at any instance), and hence phyx is capable of efficiently processing very large datasets.

    Availability and Implementation

    phyx runs on POSIX-compliant operating systems. Source code, installation instructions, documentation and example files are freely available under the GNU General Public License at https://github.com/FePhyFoFum/phyx

  3. Abstract Summary

    A major barrier to the practical utilization of large, complex models of biochemical systems is the lack of open-source computational tools to evaluate model behaviors over high-dimensional parameter spaces. This is due to the high computational expense of performing thousands to millions of model simulations required for statistical analysis. To address this need, we have implemented a user-friendly interface between cupSODA, a GPU-powered kinetic simulator, and PySB, a Python-based modeling and simulation framework. For three example models of varying size, we show that for large numbers of simulations PySB/cupSODA achieves order-of-magnitude speedups relative to a CPU-based ordinary differential equation integrator.

    Availability and implementation

    The PySB/cupSODA interface has been integrated into the PySB modeling framework (version 1.4.0), which can be installed from the Python Package Index (PyPI) using a Python package manager such as pip. cupSODA source code and precompiled binaries (Linux, Mac OS/X, Windows) are available at github.com/aresio/cupSODA (requires an Nvidia GPU; developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus). Additional information about PySB is available at pysb.org.

  4. Marschall, Tobias (Ed.)
    Abstract Summary CONSTAX—the CONSensus TAXonomy classifier—was developed for accurate and reproducible taxonomic annotation of fungal rDNA amplicon sequences and is based upon a consensus approach of RDP, SINTAX and UTAX algorithms. CONSTAX2 extends these features to classify prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes and incorporates BLAST-based classifiers to reduce classification errors. Additionally, CONSTAX2 implements a conda-installable command-line tool with improved classification metrics, faster training, multithreading support, capacity to incorporate external taxonomic databases and new isolate matching and high-level taxonomy tools, replete with documentation and example tutorials. Availability and implementation CONSTAX2 is available at https://github.com/liberjul/CONSTAXv2, and is packaged for Linux and MacOS from Bioconda with use under the MIT License. A tutorial and documentation are available at https://constax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. Data and scripts associated with the manuscript are available at https://github.com/liberjul/CONSTAXv2_ms_code. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

  5. Abstract Summary

    ipyrad is a free and open source tool for assembling and analyzing restriction site-associated DNA sequence datasets using de novo and/or reference-based approaches. It is designed to be massively scalable to hundreds of taxa and thousands of samples, and can be efficiently parallelized on high performance computing clusters. It is available both as a command line interface and as a Python package with an application programming interface, the latter of which can be used interactively to write complex, reproducible scripts and implement a suite of downstream analysis tools.

    Availability and implementation

    ipyrad is a free and open source program written in Python. Source code is available from the GitHub repository (https://github.com/dereneaton/ipyrad/), and Linux and MacOS installs are distributed through the conda package manager. Complete documentation, including numerous tutorials, and Jupyter notebooks demonstrating example assemblies and applications of downstream analysis tools are available online: https://ipyrad.readthedocs.io/.
