AI Article Synopsis
- - Bandage is a tool designed to help users visualize de novo assembly graphs, making it easier to understand the connections (edges) between assembled contigs (nodes).
- - Users can interact with the graph by zooming in, moving nodes, adding labels, changing colors, and performing BLAST searches, with results highlighted directly in the graph.
- - The software is open-source, compatible with Linux, OS X, and Windows, and can be accessed through its GitHub page, along with additional resources and contact information for support.
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Although de novo assembly graphs contain assembled contigs (nodes), the connections between those contigs (edges) are difficult for users to access. Bandage (a Bioinformatics Application for Navigating De novo Assembly Graphs Easily) is a tool for visualizing assembly graphs with connections. Users can zoom in to specific areas of the graph and interact with it by moving nodes, adding labels, changing colors and extracting sequences. BLAST searches can be performed within the Bandage graphical user interface and the hits are displayed as highlights in the graph. By displaying connections between contigs, Bandage presents new possibilities for analyzing de novo assemblies that are not possible through investigation of contigs alone.
Availability And Implementation: Source code and binaries are freely available at https://github.com/rrwick/Bandage. Bandage is implemented in C++ and supported on Linux, OS X and Windows. A full feature list and screenshots are available at http://rrwick.github.io/Bandage.

Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are tandemly repeated sequences that make up a significant portion of almost all eukaryotic genomes. Although satDNAs have been shown to play an important role in genome organization and evolution, they are relatively poorly analyzed, even in model organisms. One of the main reasons for the current lack of in-depth studies on satDNAs is their underrepresentation in genome assemblies.

Error self-correction is crucial for analyzing long-read sequencing data, but existing methods often struggle with noisy data or are tailored to technologies like PacBio HiFi. There is a gap in methods optimized for Nanopore R10 simplex reads, which typically have error rates below 2%. We introduce DeChat, a novel approach designed specifically for these reads.

The assumed autosomal dominant inherited genetic variants underlying the characteristic white head of Fleckvieh, Simmental, and Hereford cattle have not been identified yet, although the contribution of structural variation upstream the gene has been proposed. Here, we construct a graph pangenome from 24 haplotype assemblies representing seven taurine cattle breeds to identify and characterize the white head-associated locus for the first time based on long-read sequencing data and pangenome analyses.

Cell-cell communications (CCCs) involve signaling from multiple sender cells that collectively impact downstream functional processes in receiver cells. Currently, computational methods are lacking for quantifying the contribution of pairwise combinations of cell types to specific functional processes in receiver cells (e.g.
