  • [Announcement] elPrep v4.0.0 released

    We are happy to announce the release of elPrep v4.0.0. elPrep is an open-source, drop-in replacement tool for GATK4/Picard/SAMtools for preparing SAM/BAM files for variant calling that produces identical results, while greatly improving computational performance. See https://github.com/exascience/elprep

    elPrep v4.0.0 introduces multiple new features allowing us to process the preparation steps defined by the GATK Best Practices for variant calling.
    • added base quality score recalibration (BQSR, ApplyBQSR)
    • added optical duplicate marking
    • added MultiQC-compatible metrics
    • support for SAM File Format version 1.6
    • native support for BAM/BGZF files
    • support for FASTA and VCF files
    • support for elPrep-specific elsites and elfasta formats for improved performance
    • split/filter/merge (sfm) now implemented in Go instead of Python
    • added --log-path option to all tools
    • various API and performance improvements
    • changed license to the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 as published by the Free Software Foundation, with Additional Terms
    • updated demos at https://github.com/ExaScience/elprep/tree/master/demo


    Our benchmarks show that elPrep v4.0.0 executes the sort/deduplicate/recalibrate and apply-BQSR-pipeline from the GATK Best Practices up to 12x faster on WES data and 7.5x faster on WGS data, while using similar or fewer compute resources than Picard/GATK4.

    See https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0132868 for a publication on a previous version of elPrep.

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

      Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
      by seqadmin




      Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
