The OmicsBox Genome Analysis module allows to characterize and analyze newly sequenced genomes, from raw reads to gene structures in an efficient and user-friendly way.
Quality Control And Assessment
Use FastQC and Trimmomatic to perform the quality control of your samples, to filter reads and to remove low quality bases.
De-Novo Assembly
The assembly feature allows to reconstruct whole genome sequences without a reference genome or specific hardware requirements. Assemble sequencing data from both, short and long read technologies with 3 different algorithms: ABySS,SPAdes and Flye.
Alignment and Polishing
Align short sequencing reads against large sequences with BWA, and correct draft assemblies from long reads with Pilon.
Repeat Masking and Gene Finding
Mask repeats of genome assemblies with RepeatMasker to improve downstream gene predictions.
Perform prokaryotic (Glimmer) and eukaryotic (Augustus) gene predictions to characterize genome structure.
Genome Browser
Visualize your annotations in form of tracks to combine the genome sequences (.fasta) with alignments (.bam), intron-exon structure (.gff) and variant data (.vcf).
Statistics
Different statistical charts and reports allow to evaluate the genome assembly and characterization processes, as well as to help with the biological interpretation of the results.
Exploratory Analysis
The rich user interface allows to process large genome annotations with ease. Gene annotations, in General Feature Format style, can be filtered, sorted and combined with other result sets. Select the genes to display directly from the table.
