Traversome: complicated organelle genome structure resolution and isomer frequencies estimation.

Organelle genomes provide an indispensable source of the fundamental data for functional, phylogenetic and evolutionary studies, which makes the accurate and intact assembly crucial. For organelle genomes with limited repetitive sequences, the GetOrganelle toolkit has achieved accurate, complete, and rapid assembly based on second-generation sequencing data. However, most plant mitochondrial genomes and some plastid genomes, due to the existence of abundant repetitive sequences, isomers, or subgenomic structures, still lack effective methods for high-quality resolution. Here we proposed a sub-walks binomial distribution model and a likelihood algorithm of this model to estimate genomic isomer frequencies. We implemented this algorithm in a Bayesian framework and developed the tool Traversome, which utilizes the assembly graph (based on the short reads) and its graph alignment (against the long reads), to resolute separable repeats, estimate contig multiplicities, generate candidate genomic isomers, and estimate isomer frequencies. We further demonstrated that Traversome has the potential to overcome the obstacles in front of the high-quality assembly of complicated organelle genomes such as plant mitogenomes, which can facilitate the studies of organelle genome functions, structural evolution and phylogenetics.
