I posted a similar question in the General Forum a few weeks ago but didn't get any responses. Are there any good libraries for programmatic contig analysis (detecting variations, coverage problems, sequence errors , assembly errors etc). I see that BioJava doesn't have any kind of contig object representation and while BioPerl and BioPython frameworks have contig objects, there doesn't appear to be any built-in analysis methods.

What kind of sequences do you have - microbial, eukaryote, vertebrate? I have several custom pipelines, plus can guide you to few programs made by others. -
I work with all kinds of data. I have found that lots of people have written custom pipelines that string together a wide variety of tools. Each tool only give a partial answer to the question they want to know. Also many of the tools require different input formats and have their own unique output formats so most of the pipeline is actually only doing format conversion and output parsing.
I was hoping there was a "one stop shop" framework or library that would work for all sizes of genomes that would allow the bio-informatician to programmatically do the specific analysis they wanted.Comment

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...09-26-2023, 06:26 AM -
Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM
