NextGenMap: Fast and accurate read mapping in highly polymorphic genomes
TLDR
NextGenMap is reported, a fast and accurate read mapper, which aligns reads reliably to a reference genome even when the sequence difference between target and reference genome is large, i.e. highly polymorphic genome.Abstract:
Summary: When choosing a read mapper, one faces the trade off between speed and the ability to map reads in highly polymorphic regions. Here, we report NextGenMap, a fast and accurate read mapper, which reduces this dilemma. NextGenMap aligns reads reliably to a reference genome even when the sequence difference between target and reference genome is large, i.e. highly polymorphic genome. At the same time, NextGenMap outperforms current mapping methods with respect to runtime and to the number of correctly mapped reads. NextGenMap efficiently uses the available hardware by exploiting multi-core CPUs as well as graphic cards (GPUs), if available. In addition, NextGenMap handles automatically any read data independent of read length and sequencing technology.

Parthenogenetic Panagrolaimus species evolve at lower mutation rates, but show increased nucleotide diversity
Laura Valentina Bocanegra Villegas,Luca Ferretti,Thomas Wiehe,Ann-Marie Waldvogel,Philipp H. Schiffer +4 more
TL;DR: The findings in parthenogenetic triploid nematode populations seem to challenge common expectations of evolution under asexuality, and a gene network revealed a high level of genetic differentiation among asexual strains.

Assessment of bacterial and viral gut communities in healthy and tumoral colorectal tissue using RNA and DNA deep-sequencing
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed bacterial and viral communities in colorectal tissue using both DNA and RNA sequencing and improved taxonomy resolution to species level using Kraken 2, alpha and beta diversities (different metrics) as well as relative and differential abundance.

An unexpected donor in the adaptive introgression candidate Helianthus annuus subsp. texanus
Gregory L. Owens,Marco Todesco,Natalia Bercovich,Jean-Sébastien Légaré,Nora Mitchell,Nora Mitchell,Kenneth D. Whitney,Loren H. Rieseberg +7 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the morphological convergence observed in Texas is likely independent of introgression, using whole genome sequencing data from across the entire range of H. annuus and possible donor species, as well as phenotypic data from a common garden study.

Unbiased discovery of natural sequence variants that influence fungal virulence
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used bulked segregant analysis and association analysis, genetic methods that require no prior knowledge of sequence function, to address the key question of which naturally occurring sequence variants influence fungal virulence.

An effective method to resolve ambiguous bisulfite-treated reads.
Mengya Liu,Yun Xu +1 more
TL;DR: Liu et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed EM-MUL, which not only rescues multireads overlapped with unique reads, but also uses the overall coverage and accurate base-level alignment to resolve multiread that cannot be handled by current methods.
