Pilon

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:56:18 -0600

Pilon is a software tool which can be used to:

Automatically improve draft assemblies
Find variation among strains, including large event detection

Pilon requires as input a FASTA file of the genome along with one or more BAM files of reads aligned to the input FASTA file. Pilon uses read alignment analysis to identify inconsistencies between the input genome and the evidence in the reads. It then attempts to make improvements to the input genome, including:

Single base differences
Small indels
Larger indel or block substitution events
Gap filling
Identification of local misassemblies, including optional opening of new gaps

PRISM

Jit — Sat, 10 Dec 2016 15:19:40 -0600

PRISM is a software for split read (reads which span across a structrual variant -- SV ) mapping and SV calling from the mapping result. PRISM is able to detect small insertions and abitrary size deletions, inversions and tandom duplications with the direction of discordant read pairs. PRISM_CTX is a tool for detecting inter-chromosome trans-location events.

PRISM and PRISM_CTX were originally designed and written by Michael Brudno and Yue Jiang, The original PRISM publication can be found here.

The authors may be contacted via e-mail at: prism at cs.toronto.edu.

Additional information is available in the PRISM README file and PRISM_CTX README file.

Cancer's origins revealed

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:06:56 -0500

Researchers have provided the first comprehensive compendium of mutational processes that drive tumour development. Together, these mutational processes explain most mutations found in 30 of the most common cancer types. This new understanding of cancer development could help to treat and prevent a wide-range of cancers.

Giovanni Parmigiani Lab

Fri, 20 Sep 2013 13:21:41 -0500

Scientific Interests:

Models and software for predicting who is at risk of carrying genetic variants that confer susceptibility to cancer. Application to breast, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic and skin cancer.

Statistical methods for the analysis of high throughput genomic data: analysis of cancer genome sequencing projects; integration of genomic information across technologies; cross-study validation of genomics results.

Statistical methods for comparative effectiveness research: comprehensive models for lifetime history of chronic disease outcomes; Bayesian meta-analysis; Bayesian causal inference; decision analysis.

Bayesian modeling and computation: multilevel models; decision theoretic approaches to inference; sequential experimental design and their application to adaptive and multistage studies in clinical and epidemiological research.

LAPTI Lab

Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:19:12 -0600

The main theme of our research is the understanding of how genetic information is decoded from DNA into RNA and proteins. Someone may find this topic a little strange and argue that we already know how this is happening.

Translational recoding.

RNA editing.

Evolution of the genetic code and translation.
