FYI, I've found it useful to use MUMmer to extract the specific changes that Racon makes, so I can evaluate them individually:
minimap -t 24 assembly.fasta long_reads.fastq.gz | racon -t 24 long_reads.fastq.gz - assembly.fasta...
When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program.
github.com - HM2 can process any diploid assemblies, but it is especially suitable for diploid assemblies with high heterozygosity (≥3%), which can be difficult for other tools. This pipeline also implements flexible and sensitive assembly error detection, a...
PhD opportunity at Université de Liège - Belgium
The Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Unit of Université de Liège (Belgium) is looking for a highly motivated master student with programming skills for a PhD thesis project (4 years, fully...
cab.spbu.ru - QUAST-LG-a tool that compares large genomic de novo assemblies against reference sequences and computes relevant quality metrics. Since genomes generally cannot be reconstructed completely due to complex repeat patterns and low coverage regions, we...
bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - An ultra–high-performance protein–protein docking software for heterogeneous supercomputers
Summary: The application of protein–protein docking in large-scale interactome analysis is a major challenge in structural bioinformatics...
github.com - pyGenomeTracks aims to produce high-quality genome browser tracks that are highly customizable. Currently, it is possible to plot:
bigwig

Hi-C matrices (if HiCExplorer is...
github.com - NovoGraph: building whole genome graphs from long-read-based de novo assemblies
An algorithmically novel approach to construct a genome graph representation of long-read-based de novo sequence assemblies. We then provide a proof of...
