35bp Solexa reads: vertexSize=25 vs vertexSize=21

 vertexSize=21 
   more agreagte assembly; 
   some tandem repeats in 2K+ contigs were collapsed (detected by aligning to Strep aureus finished genome)
   these repeats were present in small ctgs (~ 200bp) when euler was run with vertexSize=25
   these repeats were not present in the velvet assembly

newbler (454)

minimus

hash-overlap issues:

very slow on large sequences (runs Smith-Waterman)
finds all overlaps (not only CONTAINED|BEGIN|END); of no use to the assembler
default ovl: 40 bp (too large)
min ovl: 15 (set by minimizer)
20 bp overlap ok;
the min ovl imposed by the next step (tigger) is 5bp

minimus1

hash-overlap was replaced with a nucmer based overlapper
nucmer takes long time and lots of space to find very short overlaps (< 16bp?)
We can have more control on the overlaps that are used (can easily filter the nucmer output)
can discard CONTAINED/IDENTITY alignments in order to avoid collapsing repeats
can mask the middle of the sequences to make the alignment process faster; (Issue: CONTAINED overlaps appear as BEGIN/END overlaps)

Example:

  ....
  OVERLAP=16
  MINID=94
  MAXTRIM=20
  ...
  20: $(NUCMER) -maxmatch -l $(OVERLAP) -c $(OVERLAP) $(SEQS) $(SEQS) -p $(PREFIX)
  24: $(SHOWCOORDS) -H -c -l -o -r -I $(MINID) $(ALIGN) | egrep 'BEGIN|END' > $(COORDS)
  25: $(SCRIPTDIR)/nucmer2ovl.pl -ignore $(MAXTRIM) -tab $(COORDS)> $(OVLTAB)
  26: $(SCRIPTDIR)/ovl2OVL.pl $(OVLTAB)  > $(OVL)
  28: $(BINDIR)/bank-transact -z -b $(BANK) -m $(OVL)

minimus2

assembles two sequence sets (S1,S2)
Instead of merging the sets and aligning all versus all (S1+S2 : S1+S2) it aligns one versus the other:

 S1:S2
 S1:S1 (optional)
 S2:S2 (optional)

Each alignment can be run with different parameters

Example 1: merge two de-novo assemblies

 ...
 TYPE1=N
 TYPE2=N
 ...
 OVERLAP11       = 16
 OVERLAP22       = 16
 OVERLAP12       = 40
 ...
 # align sets
 $(NUCMER) -maxmatch -l $(OVERLAP11) -c $(OVERLAP11) $(SEQS1) $(SEQS1) -p $(PREFIX11)
 $(NUCMER) -maxmatch -c $(OVERLAP12) $(SEQS1) $(SEQS2) -p $(PREFIX12)
 $(NUCMER) -maxmatch -l $(OVERLAP22) -c $(OVERLAP22) $(SEQS2) $(SEQS2) -p $(PREFIX22)
 ...
 # merge alignments
 $(SHOWCOORDS) $(ALIGN11) | egrep 'BEGIN|END'  > $(COORDS)   
 $(SHOWCOORDS) $(ALIGN12) >> $(COORDS)
 $(SHOWCOORDS) $(ALIGN22) | egrep 'BEGIN|END'  >> $(COORDS)
 ...
 nucmer2ovl.pl  $(COORDS) > $(OVLTAB)
 ...

Example 2: merge a comparative and a de-novo assembly

 ...
 TYPE1           = C
 TYPE2           = N
 ...
 # look only for short overlaps among adjacent sequences from S1
 $(SCRIPTDIR)/fasta2ovl.pl -tab $(SEQS1) > $(OVLTAB)  
 ...
 # look for all overlaps  among one sequence from S1 and one from S2
 $(NUCMER) -maxmatch -c $(OVERLAP12) $(SEQS1) $(SEQS2) -p $(PREFIX12) 
 $(SHOWCOORDS) $(ALIGN12) | $(SCRIPTDIR)/nucmer2ovl.pl >> $(OVLTAB)

SSAKE

Web Site
Short Sequence Assembly by K-mer search and 3' read Extension
Rene L Warren, Granger G Sutton, Steven JM Jones, Robert A Holt. "Assembling millions of short DNA sequences using SSAKE" Bioinformatics. Vol. 23 no. 4 2007, pages 500–501
Uses a greedy assembly algorithm: progressively searches for perfect 3’-most k-mers using a DNA prefix tree to identify overlaps between any two sequences; stringently clusters short reads into contigs
Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Canada's Michael Smith Genome Science Centre.
Current release: SSAKE 3.2.1 (08/21/2008)
Distribution: PERL script; runs on Linux systems
Parameters:

 -m  Minimum number of reads needed to call a base during overhang consensus build up (default -m 16)
 -o  Minimum number of reads needed to call a base during an extension (default -o 2)
 -r  Minimum base ratio used to accept a overhang consensus base (default -r 0.7)
 -t  Max number of bases to trim (default 0)

"Especially" targeted towards Solexa seq; 454 reads too long & homopol problem
Can handle mated reads
TQS.py should be used for qual trimming

Example:

 $ grep -c "^>" Pa.seq           # total number of reads
 $ (time ssake_3.0.pl -f Pa.seq) > ssake_3.0.log             # version 3.0
 $ (time ssake_3.2.pl -f Pa.seq -t 1) > ssake_3.2.log        # version 3.2
 $ ln -s Pa*contigs  Pa.fasta
 $ ln -s Pa*singlets Pa.singlets.seq
 $ cat Pa.fasta        | grep "^>" | perl -ane '/read(\d+)/; print $1, "\n";' | getSummaryDescriptive.pl -t assembled_reads    # number of assembled reads
 $ cat Pa.singlets.seq | grep "^>" | perl -ane '/read(\d+)/; print $1, "\n";' | getSummaryDescriptive.pl -t singletons         # number of singletons
 $ grep -v N Pa.seq              # number of reads which contain ambiguities and will be discarder from the beginning (should be added to the singletons)

Velvet

Sequence assembler for very short reads
Velvet: Algorithms for De Novo Short Read Assembly Using De Bruijn Graphs Genome Res. Mar 2008
Project Web Site at EBI Current version: 0.6 02/06/2008: Velvet 0.6
Uses Bruijn graphs to assemble sequences: first uses an error correction algorithm to merge sequences which belong together, then a repeat solver separates paths sharing local overlaps
Distribution: C program, to be compiled with gcc
Open Source, GPL agreement, EBI.
Current release: 0.7.55
Parameters:

 - hash_length: odd integer (if even, it will be decremented) <= 31 (if above, will be reduced)
* minimum overlap length (30-40X coverage data set):
    17bp usually gives the fewest contigs (some case)
    23bp is also ok (used for Pa,Ps)
    15bp is too low => too many short contigs
*  -long option for including "long sequences" (Sanger, 454 or even reference sequences) very slow

At ~30X, max ctg len is ~ 5KB
At >45X, max ctg len is ~ 20KB
Longest contig on simulated data is 56Kbp (Ps, no error 32bp reads, 32X cvg)

Max ovl=32
For longer reads (66bp), some of the repeats ( ~100bp) get assembled partially; -cov_cutoff parameter must be used, otherwise low cvg/quality ctgs are reported

velvet_assy.afg lists the assembled reads (TLE messages)
some reads extend beyond the contig ends
there are some reads shared by multiple contigs (status:D) ; at least one of the instances occurs at a contig end (goes beyond the contig end)
many contigs overlap by a few bp; max val= min_ovl-1
minimum_ctg length =2*minimum_ovl-1 (23=>45, 21=>41 ...)

Example (unmated reads):

 $ velveth . ovl prefix.seq                                # ovl should be an odd integer like 21, 23 
 $ velvetg . -read_trkg yes

Example (mated reads):

 $ velveth . 23 -shortPaired prefix.seq
 $ velvetg . -ins_length 500 -exp_cov 35

 $ ~/bin/velvet.sh prefix 23 500 35                       # combines both; prefix.seq should alternate fwd & rev reads

Example (processing results):

 $ bank-transact -c -z -b prefix.bnk -m velvet_assy.afg
 $ bank2contig prefix.bnk  > prefix.contig
 $ bank2fasta -b prefix.bnk > prefix.fasta
 
 $ listReadPlacedStatus -S -E prefix.bnk > prefix.singletons
 $ extractfromfastanames.pl prefix.seq prefix.singletons > prefix.singletons.seq
 
 $ listReadPlacedStatus prefix.bnk > prefix.status
 $ grep D prefix.status  | awk '{print $5,$6}' | sort -u > prefix.pairs

Edena

Edena: Exact DE Novo Assembler

De novo bacterial genome sequencing: millions of very short reads assembled on a desktop computer Genome Res. Apr 2008
Project Web Site Current verision: 2.1.1 03/17/2008
Genomic Research Laboratory, Infectious Diseases Service, Geneva University Hospitals, Switzerland
Current release: 2.1.1 (03/17/2008)
Distribution: Compiled executables for Linux-32,Linux-64
Uses a traditional read overlap-layout paradigm (adjusted for short reads)
Parameters:

 --overlapCutoff [int]    Only consider overlaps >= than the specified size. (default 22)
 --minContigSize [int]    Minimum size of the contigs to output. (default 100)

contigs don't overlap (ends seem to be trimmed)
a significant number of reads don't get assembled; max % assembled : 69% for Staphylococcus_aureus

reads should be 1/line (+1 line for the header)
for 66bp reads, the longest ctgs were obtained for --overlapCutoff 35

Example:

 $ edena -r prefix.seq -p ovl
 $ edena -e prefix.ovl -p prefix
 $ ln -s prefix_contigs.fasta prefix.fasta
 $ cat *_info.txt                                 # assembly stats
 $ grep assembled prefix_info.txt
 $ cat prefix_contigs.fasta | grep "^>" | perl -ane '/(\d+)$/; print $1, "\n";' | getSummaryDescriptive.pl -t reads_assembled

Comparative

AMOScmp

one should increase the make-consensus error rate if ref and qry are not that similar
all reads from layout are included in consensus

casm-layout issues:

if one sequence end does not align, the read is not assembled; the adjacent read is not assembled either if based on alignment to the ref. the two "theoretically" overlap;
for a circular bacterial chromosome, the BEGIN/END reads don't get assembled => cannot get a circular contig !!!
all CONTAINED reads should be assembled but the ones that are adjacent to dirty reads are left as singletons as well !!!
option -r places repeats randomly; what if we want more control over this?

There are some large negative gaps in scaffold file (Solexa read assemblies); Some contigs are "CONTAINED" in the contig just before the large negative gap; all these contig id's are larger than the .scaff last contig ; Contig alignments to the ref have breaks
casm-layout -g 10000 (defaul max gap) seems to produce the problem above; this value should be reduced (Ex 100)

show-coords issues:

sometimes long CONTAINED annotated contigs contain dirty ends

show-snps issues:

ambiguities are not shown
maximum init_size = 10000 query seqs
does not work on long seqs

Example:

 $ sort -nk4 AMOS.scaff | head
 322 BE 87996 -24519
 210 BE 7460 -7324
 1271 BE 60490 -4112

 ...

 $more AMOS.scaff

 322 BE 87996 -24519     # 322 contains contigs 1770, 1771 ...
 1770 BE 39 1100
 1771 BE 130 738

 1780 BE 72 25004

AMOScmp-shortReads-alignmentTrimmed

Defaults:

  MINCLUSTER  = 16
  MINMATCH    = 16
  MINLEN      = 20  # delta-filter -l 20
  MINOVL      = 10  # previously 5 ; mis-assemblies occurred
  MAXTRIM     = 10
  MAXGAP      = 100 # default 10,000 (casm-layout -g) creates some incorrect contigs
  MAJORITY    = 70  # previously 50 
  CONSERR     = 0.06
  ALIGNWIGGLE = 2   # different than the default AMOScmp 15

 * Reads are trimmed based on nucmer alignment to a reference genome; reads that are adjacent to 0 cvg regions are not trimmed
 * If reads are not trimmed CONSERR should be increased, otherwise make-consensus fails
 * If reads are not trimmed, the avg contig length is significantly shorter than if reads are trimmed based on alignments => 
   !!! read trimming is important.
 * assembly is very fragmented if the percent identity between reads and the reference is less than 98%
 * simulations run on a PA-b1 10K read subset using PA14 as reference; random snps were introduced into PA14 to decrease the %identity; (MINCLUSTER=12, MINMATCH=16, MINLEN=20)
   99.4% : 1 contig  (original data, no snps added to PA14)
   98%   : 2 contigs
   96%   : 10 contigs
   93%   : 50 contigs
   93%   : 37 contigs (MINMATCH=14)

AMOScmp-shortReads

Defaults

  MINCLUSTER  = 20
  MINMATCH    = 20
  MINOVL      = 5
  MAXTRIM     = 10
  MAJORITY    = 50
  CONSERR     = 0.06
  ALIGNWIGGLE = 2

 * No read trimming is done

AMOScmp2

Runs AMOScmp of 2 data sets at once (with different parameters)

Example: merge a comparative(AMOScmp) and a de-novo(velvet) assembly, using the same reference was used to get the comparative one

 ...
 TYPE1           = C  # Assembly 1 is a comparative one, already know the position of contigs; no need to align them to ref.
 TYPE2           = N  # Assembly 2 is a de-novo one, don't know the position of contigs; we need to align them to ref.
 ...
 $(SCRIPTDIR)/scaff2delta.pl $(SCAFF1) > $(ALIGN1)
 $(NUCMER) -maxmatch -c $(OVERLAP2) $(REF) $(SEQS2) -p=$(PREFIX2) 
 ...
 cp $(ALIGN1)$(ALIGN)
 cat $(ALIGN2) | grep -v $(PREFIX) | grep -v NUCMER  >> $(ALIGN)
 ....

maq

At high %identity (close to 100%) maq outperforms AMOScmp-shortReads-alignmentTrimmed
At lower % identity (<97%) AMOScmp-shortReads-alignmentTrimmed outperforms maq

Other Scripts

delta-filter.pl

Similar to MUMMer delta-filter
The difference is that for multi copy repeats, it tries to place each one uniquely on the reference
"delta-filter -q" collapses all in the same reference region
"delta-filter -r" aligns the same one to multiple reference regions

fasta2ovl.pl

Program that finds short normal direction overlaps between two adjacent sequences in a multi-FASTA file.
It tests if the END of seqence N overlaps the BEGINING of sequence N+1.

megamerge (EMBOSS)

 * Can merge well short overlapping contigs
 * Does not work well when the overlap identity is low
 * Min ovl length=2

nucmer2ovl.pl

Program that converts nucmer annotated alignments to an overlap file (either AMOS or TAB format)

nucmer.pl

It is a nucmer wrapper which runs nucmer with decreasingly alignment size on the sequences
Iteration n only tries to align sequences not aligned at iterations n-1,n-2,...1
Shorter run time, less disk space (than running nucmer with a small alignment/cluster size)
Default parameters:

 -len 20,16,12         : nucmer minmatch (-l)
 -cluster 20,16,14     : nucmer mincluster (-c)
 -filter 20,20,20      : delta-filter minlen (-l)

Could be used by AMOScmp-shortReads, AMOScmp-shortReads-alignmentTrimmed

nucmerAnnotate.pl

Program that parses a nucmer coords file and re-annotates sequence alignments
The maximum length of the end sequence to be ignored can be set as a parameter

revDelta.pl

Parses a delta file and switches the ref & query

revseq.pl

Revese complements a seq file
adds ".rev" suffix to seq id's

scaff2delta.pl

Program that converts a scaff file to a delta file
Example: No need to run nucmer on the AMOScmp output contigs to get them aligned to reference since we already know their positions in the scaffold

Subassembly

Reconciliator

Cases

No reference sequence

One data set, multiple denovo assemblers

Example:

 * Solexa data
 * edena & velvet assemblers

Solution:

 * run minimus on the contigs

Multipls data sets, one(multiple) denovo assemblers

Example:

* Solexa & 454 data
* velvet assembly on Solexa
* newbler assembly on 454

Solution:

 * run minimus on the contigs

One reference sequence

Example:

 * Solexa data
 * AMOScmp on Solexa
 * velvet on Solexa

Solution:

 * remove the redundant velvet contigs (CONTAINED in AMOScmp contigs) (Optional; leaving the CONTAINED contigs had very similar results, CONSERR did not have to be reduced)
 * run AMOScmp on AMOScmp & velvet contigs => join some AMOScmp gaps
 * run minimus to further merge contigs

Multiple reference sequences

Example:

 * Solexa data
 * AMOScmp on Solexa using Ref1
 * AMOScmp on Solexa using Ref2

Solution:

 * remove the redundant AMOScmp Ref2 contigs (CONTAINED in AMOScmp contigs) (optional)
 * run AMOScmp on AMOScmp Ref1 & Ref2 contigs => join some AMOScmp Ref1 gaps
 * run minimus to further merge contigs
