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.

Abstract Motivation Biomolecular structures come in multiple representations and diverse data formats. Their incompatibility with the requirements of data analysis programs significantly hinders the analytics and the creation of new structure-oriented bioinformatic tools. Therefore, the need for robust libraries of data processing functions is still growing. Results BioCommons is an open-source, Java library for structural bioinformatics. It contains many functions working with the 2D and 3D structures of biomolecules, with a particular emphasis on RNA. Availability and implementation The library is available in Maven Central Repository and its source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/tzok/BioCommons Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

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. Its source code is available at github.com/eldariont/[email protected] informationSupplementary data are available online.

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/.

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 The biggest hurdle in studying topology in biopolymers is the steep learning curve for actually seeing the knots in structure visualization. Knot_pull is a command line utility designed to simplify this process—it presents the user with a smoothing trajectory for provided structures (any number and length of protein, RNA or chromatin chains in PDB, CIF or XYZ format), and calculates the knot type (including presence of any links, and slipknots when a subchain is specified). Availability and implementation Knot_pull works under Python >=2.7 and is system independent. Source code and documentation are available at http://github.com/dzarmola/knot_pull under GNU GPL license and include also a wrapper script for PyMOL for easier visualization. Examples of smoothing trajectories can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzSGDfc1vAY. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract Summary In the last decade, increasing attention has been paid to the study of gene fusions. However, the problem of determining whether a gene fusion is a cancer driver or just a passenger mutation is still an open issue. Here we present DEEPrior, an inherently flexible deep learning tool with two modes (Inference and Retraining). Inference mode predicts the probability of a gene fusion being involved in an oncogenic process, by directly exploiting the amino acid sequence of the fused protein. Retraining mode allows to obtain a custom prediction model including new data provided by the user. Availability and implementation Both DEEPrior and the protein fusions dataset are freely available from GitHub at (https://github.com/bioinformatics-polito/DEEPrior). The tool was designed to operate in Python 3.7, with minimal additional libraries. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
