Multiple pipelines in one platform
novoWorx has a wide range of pipelines to assist you in your research.
Metagenomics Screening & Classification Pipeline
This pipeline performs profiling analysis of bacteria, virus and protozoa in gut/environment samples. The pair-end reads are merged into single read and the adapter and bad quality reads are removed. Then, the proportion of organisms present in the sample is classified and the comparative analysis is performed.
Metagenomics Differential Abundance Pipeline
This pipeline performs differential abundance analysis of bacteria, virus and protozoa in gut or environment samples. The reads are mapped to reference and are sorted using novoAlign and novoSort respectively. Next, the sorted BAM file is subjected to quantifying the abundance of each feature. The differential abundance analysis is then performed to analyze the differential expression.
Shotgun Metagenomics Squeezemeta Pipeline
This pipeline is a full automatic pipeline that performs taxonomic and functional analysis of metagenomics. In brief, this analysis provides information such as the organisms that are present and the metabolic processes that are involved in the community. The reads are assembled and annotated before they are subjected to a number of analysis such as homology searching, HMM search, taxonomic assignment, functional assignment, contig assignment, differential abundance analysis and the prediction of metabolic pathways.
Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs) Analysis Pipeline
This pipeline identifies the mutations or variants in the NGS dataset. The detection of genetic variants such as Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs), insertions and deletions (INDELs), and structural variants (SVs) is one of the major objectives for the usage of variant calling. Only WGS, WES, and human amplicon dataset are applicable for this pipeline.
Reference Guided Assembly Pipeline
This pipeline performs the assembly of reference-based reads. The reads will be mapped to the reference selected by user using novoAlign and novoSort, and thus generating a sorted BAM file. Next, the sorted BAM file is used to mask the zero coverage region to N bases and then is subjected to novoLRPolish to generate consensus reads assembly in FASTA file. Then, the assembly annotation will be conducted.
RNA Analysis Pipeline
This pipeline performs known differential gene expression analysis on RNA samples. The reads are mapped to reference using novoAlign are sorted using novoSort. The sorted BAM file will be used to count the reads that are mapped to each gene. This step requires an annotation file in GTF format. Then, the differential gene expression analysis and data quality assessment are performed by sample clustering. At the same time, the differential expression of replicates analysis is also conducted where it counts the reads of expression abundance and identifies the replicates with different factors.
miRNA Analysis Pipeline
This pipeline performs novel and known differential gene expression analysis on micro-RNA samples. The reads are mapped to reference using novoAlign are sorted using novoSort. The sorted BAM file will be used to predict the novel miRNA and count the reads that are mapped to each gene. This step requires an annotation file in GFF3 format. Then, the differential gene expression analysis and data quality assessment are performed by sample clustering. At the same time, the differential expression of replicates analysis is also conducted where it counts the reads of expression abundance and identifies the replicates with different factors.
PacBio IsoSeq Analysis Pipeline
This pipeline performs the isoform abundance analysis, structural and quality annotation of isoforms of PacBio Long Reads sequencing. The reads undergo preprocessing to generate a full-length transcript sequence and are then subjected to alignment and sorting using novoAlign and novoSort respectively. The transcripts also are mapped to the GMAP reference index and the isoforms that are mapped to the reference will be collapsed. Then, the isoform abundance is calculated and the isoforms will be annotated. This step requires an annotation file in GTF format.
SARS-CoV-2 Screening and Classification Pipeline
This pipeline classifies the proportion of microbes/archaes/viruses that present in the sample and do robust comparative analysis and contamination removal for metagenomics. It receives FASTQ format file as an input file. The FASTQ reads will be mapped to the pre-build database chosen by user, followed by recentrifuge to perform comparative analysis between samples.
Reference Guided Assembly Pipeline (SARS-CoV-2 as reference)
This pipeline performs the assembly of reference-based reads where SARS-CoV-2 will be a reference. The reads will be mapped to SARS-CoV-2 using novoAlign and novoSort, generating a sorted BAM file. The sorted BAM file will then be subjected to novoLRPolish to generate consensus reads assembly in FASTA file.
Reference Guided Assembly Pipeline (SARS-CoV-2 and GRCh38 as reference)
This pipeline performs the assembly of reference-based reads where SARS-CoV-2 and GRCh38 genomes will be the references. The reads are aligned and sorted to references using novoAlign and novoSort, generating a sorted BAM file. Reads that are mapped to the interest region are extracted.In the other hand, the references are filtered to extract only the viral sequences and are used to mask the zero coverage region to N bases. The extracted region BAM file and will be further subjected to generating the consensus reads using novoLRPolish.
Reference Guided Assembly Pipeline NEW
This pipeline performs the assembly of reference-based reads. The reads will be mapped to E. coli using novoAlign and novoSort, and thus generating a sorted BAM file. Next, the sorted BAM file is used to mask the zero coverage region to N bases and then is subjected to novoLRPolish to generate consensus reads assembly in FASTA file. Then, the assembly annotation will be conducted.
De Novo Assembly Pipeline NEW
This pipeline performs reads assembly where in this analysis, references are not required. The reads undergo preprocessing which includes quality checks and removing the bad quality reads and adapter. Next, the reads are subjected to de novo assembly, producing a set of contigs. Then the reads assembly is evaluated by computing the quality metrics and is annotated.
