ngs_backbone

ngs_backbone is a bioinformatic pipeline created to work on Next Generation Sequence (NGS) analysis as well as with sanger sequences. It is capable of cleaning reads, prepare a novo assembly, map reads against a reference, look for SNPs and SSRs, and do some function annotation like: ORFs, GO terms and sequence descriptions.

ngs_backbone:

• is mainly a wrapper around external tools like: bwa, samtools, blast, etc.
• uses standard files like fastq, SAM, VCF and GFF to ease the interoperability with other tools.
• is a command line application.
• is free software released under the AGPL license with the hope that could be useful to other laboratories.
• runs in Linux so experience with that operating system is advised when using it.
• is written in Python.
• can run in parallel using single node multicore systems and computer clusters.

If you find any problem when running ngs_backbone we’d love to hear from you, so please inform us.
