Complete Bacterial Genome Assembly and Annotation Pipeline
Project description
BacGenomePipeline
Complete Bacterial Genome Assembly and Annotation Pipeline Program developed by Stephen Fordham
General Description
BacGenomePipeline is a complete convenience bacterial genome assembly pipeline. Assembled and annotated bacterial genomes can be created with only raw reads as input! BacGenomePipeline can accept either fastq or gzipped fastq files. Relax and grab a coffee while BacGenomePipeline does the genomic heavy lifting.
This pipeline filters raw reads to produce the best 500mb reads. The filtering process also places weight on read quality, to ensure small high quality reads are not discarded. This is considered vital to aid the recovery of small plasmids present within bacterial strains.
Optionally, the user can run Nanostat to assess read quality metrics. The best reads are then assembled using the flye genome assembler with settings adjusted to help recovery of plasmids with an imbalanced distribution. The assembly is then polished with one round of medaka-consensus polishing. The polished assembly is annotated using staramr which scans bacterial genome contigs against the ResFinder, PointFinder, and PlasmidFinder databases (used by the ResFinder webservice and other webservices offered by the Center for Genomic Epidemiology) and compiles a summary report of detected antimicrobial resistance genes.
Currently BacGenomePipeline has been tested and runs on Linux OS.
To run BacGenomePipe, you must also install the following programs by running the following commands:
conda install -c bioconda filtlong==0.2.0
conda install -c bioconda flye==2.8.1
