Abstract Motivation A phylogenetic tree reconciliation is a mapping of one phylogenetic tree onto another which represents the co-evolution of two sets of taxa (e.g. parasite–host co-evolution, gene–species co-evolution). The reconciliation framework was extended to allow modeling the co-evolution of three sets of taxa such as transcript–gene–species co-evolutions. Several web-based tools have been developed for the display and manipulation of phylogenetic trees and co-phylogenetic trees involving two trees, but there currently exists no tool for visualizing the joint reconciliation between three phylogenetic trees. Results Here, we present DoubleRecViz, a web-based tool for visualizing double reconciliations between phylogenetic trees at three levels: transcript, gene and species. DoubleRecViz extends the RecPhyloXML model—developed for gene–species tree reconciliation—to represent joint transcript–gene and gene–species tree reconciliations. It is implemented using the Dash library, which is a toolbox that provides dynamic visualization functionalities for web data visualization in Python. Availability and implementation DoubleRecViz is available through a web server at https://doublerecviz.cobius.usherbrooke.ca. The source code and information about installation procedures are also available at https://github.com/UdeS-CoBIUS/DoubleRecViz.

Abstract Motivation Phylogenetic tree reconciliation is the method of choice in analyzing host-symbiont systems. Despite the many reconciliation tools that have been proposed in the literature, two main issues remain unresolved: (i) listing suboptimal solutions (i.e. whose score is ‘close’ to the optimal ones) and (ii) listing only solutions that are biologically different ‘enough’. The first issue arises because the optimal solutions are not always the ones biologically most significant; providing many suboptimal solutions as alternatives for the optimal ones is thus very useful. The second one is related to the difficulty to analyze an often huge number of optimal solutions. In this article, we propose Capybara that addresses both of these problems in an efficient way. Furthermore, it includes a tool for visualizing the solutions that significantly helps the user in the process of analyzing the results.

Abstract Summary Visualizing a network provides a concise and practical understanding of the information it represents. Open-source web-based libraries help accelerate the creation of biologically based networks and their use. ccNetViz is an open-source, high speed and lightweight JavaScript library for visualization of large and complex networks. It implements customization and analytical features for easy network interpretation. These features include edge and node animations, which illustrate the flow of information through a network as well as node statistics. Properties can be defined a priori or dynamically imported from models and simulations. ccNetViz is thus a network visualization library particularly suited for systems biology. Availability and implementation The ccNetViz library, demos and documentation are freely available at http://helikarlab.github.io/ccNetViz/.

Abstract Summary Searching for amino acid or nucleic acid sequences unique to one organism may be challenging depending on size of the available datasets. K-mer elimination by cross-reference (KEC) allows users to quickly and easily find unique sequences by providing target and non-target sequences. Due to its speed, it can be used for datasets of genomic size and can be run on desktop or laptop computers with modest specifications. Availability and implementation KEC is freely available for non-commercial purposes. Source code and executable binary files compiled for Linux, Mac and Windows can be downloaded from https://github.com/berybox/KEC.

AbstractMotivationWith the availability of new sequencing technologies, the generation of haplotype-resolved genome assemblies up to chromosome scale has become feasible. These assemblies capture the complete genetic information of both parental haplotypes, increase structural variant (SV) calling sensitivity and enable direct genotyping and phasing of SVs. Yet, existing SV callers are designed for haploid genome assemblies only, do not support genotyping or detect only a limited set of SV classes.ResultsWe introduce our method SVIM-asm for the detection and genotyping of six common classes of SVs from haploid and diploid genome assemblies. Compared against the only other existing SV caller for diploid assemblies, DipCall, SVIM-asm detects more SV classes and reached higher F1 scores for the detection of insertions and deletions on two recently published assemblies of the HG002 individual.Availability and ImplementationSVIM-asm has been implemented in Python and can be easily installed via bioconda.

Abstract Summary We describe a novel computational method for genotyping repeats using sequence graphs. This method addresses the long-standing need to accurately genotype medically important loci containing repeats adjacent to other variants or imperfect DNA repeats such as polyalanine repeats. Here we introduce a new version of our repeat genotyping software, ExpansionHunter, that uses this method to perform targeted genotyping of a broad class of such loci. Availability and implementation ExpansionHunter is implemented in C++ and is available under the Apache License Version 2.0. The source code, documentation, and Linux/macOS binaries are available at https://github.com/Illumina/ExpansionHunter/.
