Consider a scenario in which a patient's genome has been sequenced. Among billions of DNA bases, a structural alteration may explain the patient's disease. Multiple advanced algorithms analyze the data, yet only one detects the variant, while the...

pybedtools is a Python wrapper for Aaron Quinlan's BEDtools programs

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...

gwct.github.io - Modern genome sequencing technologies provide a succint measure of quality at each position in every read, however all of this information is lost in the assembly process. Referee summarizes the quality information from the reads that map to a site...

We are looking for a motivated and autonomous intern to study gene expression in hybrid organisms. The student will work on natural hybrids of two or three different species of fungal endosymbionts of grasses. The pupose of this project is to build...

github.com - jackalope simply and efficiently simulates (i) variants from reference genomes and (ii) reads from both Illumina and Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) platforms. It can either read reference genomes from FASTA files or simulate new ones. Genomic variants...

The bioinformatics unit at IRCCS Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza - Mendel laboratory in Rome is looking for one young bioinformatician with specific experience and/or interest in the analysis of genomics and transcriptomic data. The candidate will...
