Cnidaria: fast, reference-free clustering of raw and assembled genome and transcriptome NGS data
Background: Identification of biological specimens is a major requirement for a range of applications. Reference-free methods analyse unprocessed sequencing data without relying on prior knowledge, but generally do not scale to arbitrarily large genomes and arbitrarily large phylogenetic distances. Results: We present Cnidaria, a practical tool for clustering genomic and transcriptomic data with no limitation on genome size or phylogenetic distances. We successfully simultaneously clustered 169 genomic and transcriptomic datasets from 4 kingdoms, achieving 100% identification accuracy at supra-species level and 78% accuracy for species level. Discussion: CNIDARIA allows for fast, resource-efficient comparison and identification of both raw and assembled genome and transcriptome data. This can help answer both fundamental (e.g. in phylogeny, ecological diversity analysis) and practical questions (e.g. sequencing quality control, primer design).

Reads2Vec: Efficient Embedding of Raw High-Throughput Sequencing Reads Data
The massive amount of genomic data appearing for SARS-CoV-2 since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged traditional methods for studying its dynamics. As a result, new methods such as Pangolin, which can …
ClusteringVocal Bursts Intensity PredictionMultiple Kernel Clustering with Dual Noise Minimization
Clustering is a representative unsupervised method widely applied in multi-modal and multi-view scenarios. Multiple kernel clustering (MKC) aims to group data by integrating complementary information from base kernels. A…
Clustering$DC^2$: A Divide-and-conquer Algorithm for Large-scale Kernel Learning with Application to Clustering
Divide-and-conquer is a general strategy to deal with large scale problems. It is typically applied to generate ensemble instances, which potentially limits the problem size it can handle. Additionally, the data are ofte…
ClusteringTowards complete representation of bacterial contents in metagenomic samples
Background: In the metagenome assembly of a microbiome community, we may think abundant species would be easier to assemble due to their deeper coverage. However, this conjucture is rarely tested. We often do not know ho…
