You and your friend have similar DNA !!!
New research out of Massachusetts claims that people often choose friends that are similar to them in genetics and they are more accurate than you might suppose. A study published on PNAS http://www.pnas.org/content/111/Supplement_3/10796.full found that people are apt to pick friends who ar...Tags: Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genetics, Analysis, Variant, Friends, MIT

Ensembl Variation - Calculated variant consequences
For each variant that is mapped to the reference genome, we identify all overlapping Ensembl transcripts. We then use a rule-based approach to predict the effects that each allele of the variant may have on each transcript. The set of consequence terms, defined by the Sequence Ontology ...Tags: Ensembl, Variation, Calculated, variant, consequences, Variant, Effect, Predictor

Platypus: A Haplotype-Based Variant Caller For Next Generation Sequence Data
Platypus is a tool designed for efficient and accurate variant-detection in high-throughput sequencing data. By using local realignment of reads and local assembly it achieves both high sensitivity and high specificity. Platypus can detect SNPs, MNPs, short indels, replacements and (using th...Tags: Platypus, Haplotype-Based, Variant, Caller, Next, Generation, Sequence, Data, NGS, SNP
