The laboratory works on genome sequencing, immunoproteogenomics, antibiotics sequencing, and comparative genomics - computational technologies that enabled new applications and allowed scientists to attack biological problems that remained beyond...

Queensland Centre for Medical Genomics Research Area: pancreatic cancer; ovarian cancer; prostate cancer; bowel cancer; brain cancer; endometrial cancer; breast cancer; personalised medicine; high-throughput genomics Link @...

The symposium intents to focus on complex systems arising in a variety of settings in physics and biology. In particular, applications of the concepts of physics to biological sciences will be the major theme of this meeting. Selected Topics:...

The Rolland-Lagan lab at the University of Ottawa is specializing in computational and developmental biology. We use a combination of experimental work, microscopy, image analysis and computer simulations to explore developmental mechanisms in two...

Only 4.4 percent DNA difference between Tiger and house cats

sourceforge.net - Opera (Optimal Paired-End Read Assembler) is a sequence assembly program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_assembly ). It uses information from paired-end or long reads to optimally order and orient contigs assembled from...

When you have both Illumina and Nanopore data, then SPAdes remains a good option for hybrid assembly - SPAdes was used to produce the B fragilis assembly by Mick Watson’s group. Again, running spades.py will show you the...

ftp.genomics.org.cn - An efficient tool called Connecting Overlapped Pair-End (COPE) reads, to connect overlapping pair-end reads using k-mer frequencies. We evaluated our tool on 30× simulated pair-end reads from Arabidopsis thaliana with 1% base error. COPE...

RAST – Web tool (upload contigs), uses the subsystems in the SEED database and provides detailed annotation and pathway analysis. Takes several hours per genome but I think this is the best way to get a high quality annotation...

ncbi.github.io - Magic-BLAST is a tool for mapping large next-generation RNA or DNA sequencing runs against a whole genome or transcriptome. Each alignment optimizes a composite score, taking into account simultaneously the two reads of a pair, and in case of...
