The Creation

AbstractCircos plots were designed to display large amounts of processed genomic information on a single graphical representation. The creation of such plots remains challenging for less technical users as the leading tool requires command-line proficiency. Here, we introduce myCircos, a web application that facilitates the generation of Circos plots by providing an intuitive user interface, adding interactive functionalities to the representation and providing persistence of previous requests. myCircos is available at: http://mycircos.iric.ca. Non registered users can explore the application through the Guest user. Source code (for local server installation) is available upon request.

Abstract Background When visually comparing the results of hierarchical clustering, the differences in the arrangements of components are of special interest. However, in a biological setting, identifying such differences becomes less straightforward, as the changes in the dendrogram structure caused by permuting biological replicates, do not necessarily imply a different biological interpretation. Here, we introduce a visualization tool to help identify biologically similar topologies across different clustering results, even in the presence of replicates. Results Here we introduce CLINE, an open-access web application that allows users to visualize and compare multiple dendrogram structures, by visually displaying the links between areas of similarity across multiple structures. Through the use of a single page and a simple user interface, the user is able to load and remove structures form the visualization, change some aspects of their display and set the parameters used to match cluster topology across consecutive pairs of dendrograms. Conclusions We have implemented a web-tool that allows the users to visualize different dendrogram structures, showing not only the structures themselves, but also linking areas of similarity across multiple structures. The software is freely available at http://mizuguchilab.org/tools/cline/. Also, the source code, documentation and installation instructions are available on GitHub at https://github.com/RodolfoAllendes/cline/.

AbstractSummary: Varapp is an open-source web application to filter variants from large sets of exome data stored in a relational database. Varapp offers a reactive graphical user interface, very fast data pro-cessing, security and facility to save, reproduce and shareresults. Typically, a few seconds suffice to apply non-trivial filters to a set of half a million variants and extract a handful of potential clinically relevant targets. Varapp implements different scenarios for Mendelian diseases (dominant, recessive, de novo, X-linked, andcompound heterozygous), and allows searching for variants in genes or chro-mosomal regions of interest.Availability: The application is made of a Javascript front-end and a Python back-end. Its source code is hosted at https://github.com/varapp. A demo version isavailable at https://varapp-demo.vital-it.ch.

AbstractMotivationCuration is essential for any data platform to maintain the quality of the data it provides. Existing databases, which require maintenance, and the amount of newly published information that needs to be surveyed, are growing rapidly. More efficient curation is often vital to keep up with this growth, requiring modern curation tools. However, curation interfaces are often complex and difficult to further develop. Furthermore, opportunities for experimentation with curation workflows may be lost due to a lack of development resources, or a reluctance to change sensitive production systems.ResultsWe propose a decoupled, modular and scriptable architecture to build curation tools on top of existing platforms. Instead of modifying the existing infrastructure, our architecture treats the existing platform as a black box and relies only on its public APIs and web application. As a decoupled program, the tool’s architecture gives more freedom to developers and curators. This added flexibility allows for quickly prototyping new curation workflows as well as adding all kinds of analysis around the data platform. The tool can also streamline and enhance the curator’s interaction with the web interface of the platform. We have implemented this design in cmd-iaso, a command-line curation tool for the identifiers.org registry.AvailabilityThe cmd-iaso curation tool is implemented in Python 3.7+ and supports Linux, macOS and Windows. Its source code and documentation are freely available from https://github.com/identifiers-org/cmd-iaso. It is also published as a Docker container at https://hub.docker.com/r/identifiersorg/[email protected]

AbstractidCOV is a phylogenetic pipeline for quickly identifying the clades of SARS-CoV-2 virus isolates from raw sequencing data based on a selected clade-defining marker list. Using a public dataset, we show that idCOV can make equivalent calls as annotated by Nextstrain.org on all three common clade systems using user uploaded FastQ files directly. Web and equivalent command-line interfaces are available. It can be deployed on any Linux environment, including personal computer, HPC and the cloud.

AbstractBackgroundNew generation of sequencing platforms coupled to numerous bioinformatics tools has led to rapid technological progress in metagenomics and metatranscriptomics to investigate complex microorganism communities. Nevertheless, a combination of different bioinformatic tools remains necessary to draw conclusions out of microbiota studies. Modular and user-friendly tools would greatly improve such studies.FindingsWe therefore developed ASaiM, an Open-Source Galaxy-based framework dedicated to microbiota data analyses. ASaiM provides a curated collection of tools to explore and visualize taxonomic and functional information from raw amplicon, metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequences. To guide different analyses, several customizable workflows are included. All workflows are supported by tutorials and Galaxy interactive tours to guide the users through the analyses step by step. ASaiM is implemented as Galaxy Docker flavour. It is scalable to many thousand datasets, but also can be used a normal PC. The associated source code is available under Apache 2 license at https://github.com/ASaiM/framework and documentation can be found online (http://asaim.readthedocs.io/)ConclusionsBased on the Galaxy framework, ASaiM offers sophisticated analyses to scientists without command-line knowledge. ASaiM provides a powerful framework to easily and quickly explore microbiota data in a reproducible and transparent environment.

Protein phosphatases and kinases play critical roles in a host of biological processes and diseases via the removal and addition of phosphoryl groups. While kinases have been extensively studied for decades, recent findings regarding the specificity and activities of phosphatases have generated an increased interest in targeting phosphatases for pharmaceutical development. This increased focus has created a need for methods to visualize this important class of proteins within the context of the entire phosphatase protein family. Here, we present CoralP, an interactive web application for the generation of customizable, publication-quality representations of human phosphatome data. Phosphatase attributes can be encoded through edge colors, node colors, and node sizes. CoralP is the first and currently the only tool designed for phosphatome visualization and should be of great use to the signaling community. The source code and web application are available at https://github.com/PhanstielLab/coralp and http://phanstiel-lab.med.unc.edu/coralp respectively.
