YaHS: yet another Hi-C scaffolding tool

Bioinformatics, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 39(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 16, 2022

Abstract Summary We present YaHS, a user-friendly command-line tool for the construction of chromosome-scale scaffolds from Hi-C data. It can be run with single-line command, requires minimal input users (an assembly file and an alignment file) which is compatible similar tools provides results in multiple formats, thereby enabling rapid, robust scalable high-quality genome assemblies high accuracy contiguity. Availability implementation YaHS implemented C licensed under MIT License. The source code, documentation tutorial are available at https://github.com/sanger-tol/yahs. Supplementary information data Bioinformatics online.

Ensembl (https://www.ensembl.org) has produced high-quality genomic resources for vertebrates and model organisms more than twenty years. During that time, our resources, services tools have continually evolved in line with both the publicly available genome data downstream research applications utilise platform. In recent years we witnessed a dramatic shift landscape. There been large increase number of reference genomes through global biodiversity initiatives. parallel, there major advances towards pangenome representations higher species, where many alternative assemblies representing different breeds, cultivars, strains haplotypes are now available. order to support these efforts accelerate research, it is goal at create annotations, species across tree life. Here, report popular genomes, growth annotations (including from first human graphs), updates Variant Effect Predictor (VEP), interactive protein structure predictions AlphaFold DB, beta release new website.

A draft human pangenome reference

Nature, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 617(7960), С. 312 - 324

Опубликована: Май 10, 2023

Abstract Here the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium presents a first draft of human pangenome reference. The contains 47 phased, diploid assemblies from cohort genetically diverse individuals 1 . These cover more than 99% expected sequence in each genome and are accurate at structural base pair levels. Based on alignments assemblies, we generate that captures known variants haplotypes reveals new alleles structurally complex loci. We also add 119 million pairs euchromatic polymorphic sequences 1,115 gene duplications relative to existing reference GRCh38. Roughly 90 additional derived variation. Using our analyse short-read data reduced small variant discovery errors by 34% increased number detected per haplotype 104% compared with GRCh38-based workflows, which enabled typing vast majority sample.

Automated assembly scaffolding using RagTag elevates a new tomato system for high-throughput genome editing

Genome biology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 23(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 15, 2022

Advancing crop genomics requires efficient genetic systems enabled by high-quality personalized genome assemblies. Here, we introduce RagTag, a toolset for automating assembly scaffolding and patching, establish chromosome-scale reference genomes the widely used tomato genotype M82 along with Sweet-100, new rapid-cycling that developed to accelerate functional editing in tomato. This work outlines strategies rapidly expand genomic resources other plant species.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2023 update

Nucleic Acids Research, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 51(D1), С. D1188 - D1195

Опубликована: Окт. 25, 2022

Abstract The UCSC Genome Browser (https://genome.ucsc.edu) is an omics data consolidator, graphical viewer, and general bioinformatics resource that continues to serve the community as it enters its 23rd year. This year has seen emphasis in clinical data, with new tracks expanded Recommended Track Sets feature on hg38 well addition of a single cell track group. SARS-CoV-2 remain focus, regular annotation updates browser continued curation our phylogenetic sequence placing tool, hgPhyloPlace, whose tree now reached over 12M sequences. Our GenArk also grown, offering 2500 hubs system for users request any absent assemblies. We have bigBarChart display type created ways visualize via bigRmsk dynseq display. Displaying custom annotations easier due chromAlias which eliminates requirement renaming names standard. Users involved generation may be interested tools trackDb settings facilitate creation their annotations.

Complete genomic and epigenetic maps of human centromeres

Science, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 376(6588)

Опубликована: Март 31, 2022

Existing human genome assemblies have almost entirely excluded repetitive sequences within and near centromeres, limiting our understanding of their organization, evolution, functions, which include facilitating proper chromosome segregation. Now, a complete, telomere-to-telomere assembly (T2T-CHM13) has enabled us to comprehensively characterize pericentromeric centromeric repeats, constitute 6.2% the (189.9 megabases). Detailed maps these regions revealed multimegabase structural rearrangements, including in active repeat arrays. Analysis centromere-associated uncovered strong relationship between position centromere evolution surrounding DNA through layered expansions. Furthermore, comparisons X centromeres across diverse panel individuals illuminated high degrees structural, epigenetic, sequence variation complex rapidly evolving regions.

GENCODE: reference annotation for the human and mouse genomes in 2023

Nucleic Acids Research, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 51(D1), С. D942 - D949

Опубликована: Ноя. 24, 2022

GENCODE produces high quality gene and transcript annotation for the human mouse genomes. All is supported by experimental data serves as a reference genome biology clinical genomics. The consortium generates targeted data, develops bioinformatic tools carries out analyses that, along with externally produced methods, support identification of structures determination their function. Here, we present an update on genes, including developments in tools, major collaborations which underpin this progress. For example, report creation set non-canonical ORFs identified transcripts, LRGASP collaboration to assess use long transcriptomic build models, progress RefSeq UniProt increase convergence protein-coding propagation across pan-genome development new regulatory features GENCODE.

Compared to its predecessors, the Telomere-to-Telomere CHM13 genome adds nearly 200 million base pairs of sequence, corrects thousands structural errors, and unlocks most complex regions human for clinical functional study. We show how this reference universally improves read mapping variant calling 3202 17 globally diverse samples sequenced with short long reads, respectively. identify hundreds variants per sample in previously unresolved regions, showcasing promise T2T-CHM13 evolutionary biomedical discovery. Simultaneously, eliminates tens spurious sample, including reduction false positives 269 medically relevant genes by up a factor 12. Because these improvements discovery coupled population genomic resources, is positioned replace GRCh38 as prevailing genetics.
