simNGS takes fasta format sequences and a file describing the covariance of noise between bases and cycles observed in an actual run of the machine, randomly generates noisy intensities representing the signals for the sequence at each cycle and calculates likelihoods for all possible base calls.

Genobuntu is a software package containing more than 70 software and packages oriented towards NGS. In its current version, Genobuntu supports pre assembly tools, genome assemblers as well as post assembly tools.

Commonly used biological software and example script files for different assembly pipelines have also been provided, where the example script files can be updated to suit one’s experimental needs. Genobuntu attempts to reduce the amount of time and energy needed to build software workstations and it can also act as a good teaching source for a class room setting.

Therefore, Genobuntu offers a well-tailored environment for both novices and experts working in the field of genome assembly.

Uni Computing (formerly Uni BCCS) is a department of Uni Research, affiliated with the University of Bergen.

5 groups in this lab works on computational resources, methods, algorithms, and software.

Following two bioinformatics groups are:

The Computational Biology Unit (CBU) provides education and research in bioinformatics focused on functional genomics.

The Computational Ecology Unit (CEU) is basically deal with population fluctuations, behavioural patterns and the ways life cycles emerge.

Average read length is around 8,500 base pairs in release dataset. Best thing about this, there is not much effect on cost and quality of data.

1. rs1426654 SNP of SLC24A5 gene is decider of skin pigmentation variation in South Asia
2. rs1426654-A allele is widely spread throughout the Indian subcontinent 
3. Skin pigmentation is also account by the combination of processes like selection and demographic history of populations affected by their language and origin
4. Sign of positive selection in Europeans, Middle East, Pakistan, Central Asia and North India but not in South India
5. In European , A-allele is almost reached to fixation
