Release notes

Recently published apps

We have just published the following tools from the BBTools 39.01 toolkit:

• BBDuk: used for trimming, filtering, and masking of input reads.

• Reformat: used for generic read-processing tasks (changing ASCII quality encoding, interleaving, file format, compression).

• BBMap: used for splice-aware read alignment.

• Dedupe: used for removing duplicates from input sequences.

• SplitNextera: used for splitting Nextera long-mate-pair reads.

• CalcUniqueness: used for determining library complexity and the need for additional sequencing by generating kmer uniqueness histogram.

• Taxonomy: used for printing taxonomy information for provided organism identifiers.

• Repair: used to correct disordered reads and reads whose mates have been lost.

• Seal: used for alignment-free sequence quantification.

• BBMerge: used for merging overlapping paired end reads.

• BBMask: used for masking low-complexity, tandem repeats or SAM mapped regions.

• Tadpole: used as a kmer-based assembler.

• Statistics: used for calculating assembly statistics.

• BBNorm: used for normalizing read depth based on kmer counts.
