github.com - DIAMOND is a sequence aligner for protein and translated DNA searches and functions as a drop-in replacement for the NCBI BLAST software tools. It is suitable for protein-protein search as well as DNA-protein search on short reads and longer...

The Bioinformatics group at Boku University has two main areas of interest, underpinning a common goal, the study of complex systems in living organisms. To overcome the engineered redundancies and combinatorial effects prevalent in higher...

chunlab.wordpress.com - A tetra-nucleotide is a fragment of DNA sequence with 4 bases (e.g. AGTC or TTGG). Pride et al. (2003) showed that the frequency of tetra-nucleotides in bacterial genomes contain useful, albeit weak, phylogenetic signals. Even though...

At TU Dresden, Faculty of Computer Science, the DFG Research Training Group GRK 1907 “Role-based Software Infrastructures for continuous-context-sensitive Systems” offers the positions of 6 PhD Students (E 13 TV-L) for applicants interested in...

23andMe’s mission is to help people access, understand, and benefit from the human genome. We are a group of passionate individuals excited to push the boundaries of what’s possible to help turn genetic insight into better health and personal...

One persistent challenge of post genome biology remains the determination of the functions of all potential genes. In mammals this task is formidable given that a single gene can produce numerous protein isoforms through alternative pre-mRNA...

www.sanger.ac.uk - PAGIT addresses the need for software to generate high quality draft genomes. It is based on a series of programs that we developed: ABACAS, that is able to contiguate contigs from a de novo assembly against a closely related reference. IMAGE, an...

A new “Download assemblies” button is now available in the Assembly database. This makes it easy to download data for multiple genomes without having to write scripts.

An algorithm is a computable set of steps to achieve a desired result. We use algorithms every day. For example, a recipe for baking a cake is an algorithm. Most programs, with the exception of some artificial intelligence applications, consist of...

www.bx.psu.edu - We describe a new method for predicting the ancestral order and orientation of those intervals from their observed adjacencies in modern species. We combine the results from this method with data from chromosome painting experiments to produce a map...
