The Genome 10K project aims to assemble a genomic zoo—a collection of DNA sequences representing the genomes of 10,000 vertebrate species, approximately one for every vertebrate genus. The trajectory of cost reduction...
www.nature.com - Second generation sequencing has revolutionized genomic studies. However, most genomes contain repeated DNA elements that are longer than the read lengths achievable with typical sequencers, so the genomic order of several generated contigs cannot...
Live Webinar on RNA-Seq Data Analysis
Abstract: Strand NGS supports an extensive workflow for the analysis and visualization of RNA-Seq data. The workflow includes Transcriptome / Genome alignment, Differential expression analysis with Statistical...
www.ebi.ac.uk - simNGS is software for simulating observations from Illumina sequencing machines using the statistical models behind the AYB base-calling software. By default, observations only incorporate noise due to sequencing and do not incorporate effects from...
genome.sph.umich.edu - vt is a variant tool set that discovers short variants from Next Generation Sequencing data.

github.com - Key features
Filters SNVs from any variant caller to remove false positives
Calculates metrics based on BAM files and provides filtering not possible with other tools
Fully user-configurable filtering (including which filters to use and their...
www.genengnews.com - The report adds to growing experimental support for the idea that all that extra stuff in the human genes, once referred to as “junk DNA,” is more than functionless, space-filling material that happens to make up nearly 98% of the...
With the help of Moleculo technology , acquired by Illumina releases new service for long reads sequencing i.e., FastTrack Long Reads.
Average read length is around 8,500 base pairs in release dataset. Best thing about this, there...
Bioinformatics relevant research topics are:
genomic scale studies
endogenous mechanisms of mutations, germ line and somatic
computational aspects of immunology in cancer
signalling networks
three-dimensional organization of information in...
