Recently, Jorgensen et al. 2014 and Kothari et al. 2018 described informatics protocols for finding circular/complete plasmids in draft genomic assemblies:
Inspired and borrowing from these methods, we developed the program findCircularScaffolds.py
to identify:
- Whether the beginning and end of scaffolds align with each other.
- The number of paired-end reads bridging two ends of the scaffold.
usage: findCircularScaffolds.py [-h] -s SAMPLE_ID -a ASSEMBLY -1 FORWARD_READS
-2 REVERSE_READS -o OUTPUT_DIR [-t THREADS]
Program which uses bowtie2 reflexive mapping of reads and blastn reflexive
alignment of scaffolds to assess whether any scaffolds in a sample's
assembly are circular.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s SAMPLE_ID, --sample_id SAMPLE_ID
name of sample. "-" cannot be in name.
-a ASSEMBLY, --assembly ASSEMBLY
Assembly (FASTA format).
-1 FORWARD_READS, --forward_reads FORWARD_READS
forward reads of paired-end set (FASTQ format).
-2 REVERSE_READS, --reverse_reads REVERSE_READS
reverse reads of paired-end set (FASTQ format).
-o OUTPUT_DIR, --output_dir OUTPUT_DIR
specify output directory
-t THREADS, --threads THREADS
threads for bowtie2
