Biinformamatics Lead at Google Life Sciences

Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:24:55 -0500

Google Life Sciences is recruiting a technical lead with experience in bioinformatics and clinical bioinformatics, including for biomarker discovery projects such as the Baseline study.

Responsibilities

Lead teams of scientists in structuring, prototyping, and executing large-scale bioinformatic and other analysis.
Develop novel bioinformatics, statistical, data processing, pathway, data mining and other algorithms to identify biological signals and their clinical correlates in broad kinds of individual and population data.
Develop novel platform-level analytical tools for sequence-based assays (assembly, annotation, variant calling and interpretation, phasing, genome structure, etc.), expression assays (RNAseq and microarray), proteomics, and metabolomics.
Develop statistical models that robustly correlate complex laboratory-derived information with phenotypic and clinical information.
Create scientifically rigorous visualizations, communications, and presentations of results.

KAD: Assessing genome assemblies using K-mer copies in assemblies and K-mer abundance in Illumina reads

Jit — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 07:34:12 -0500

KAD is designed for evaluating the accuracy of nucleotide base quality of genome assemblies. Briefly, abundance of k-mers are quantified for both sequencing reads and assembly sequences. Comparison of the two values results in a single value per k-mer, K-mer Abundance Difference (KAD), which indicates how well the assembly matches read data for each k-mer.

where, c is the count of a k-mer from reads, m is the mode of counts of read k-mers, and n is the copy of the k-mer in the assembly.

Flanker

Rahul Nayak — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 22:04:53 -0600

Flanker, a Python package which performs alignment-free clustering of gene flanking sequences in a consistent format, allowing investigation of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) without prior knowledge of their structure. Flanker can be flexibly parameterised to finetune outputs by characterising upstream and downstream regions separately and investigating variable lengths of flanking sequence.

IVA: accurate de novo assembly of RNA virus genomes

Neel — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 07:51:59 -0500

IVA (Iterative Virus Assembler) designed specifically for read pairs sequenced at highly variable depth from RNA virus samples. We tested IVA on datasets from 140 sequenced samples from human immunodeficiency virus-1 or influenza-virus-infected people and demonstrated that IVA outperforms all other virus de novo assemblers.

Availability and implementation: The software runs under Linux, has the GPLv3 licence and is freely available from http://sanger-pathogens.github.io/iva

chromeister: An ultra fast, heuristic approach to detect conserved signals in extremely large pairwise genome comparisons.

USAGE:

-query: sequence A in fasta format
-db: sequence B in fasta format
-out: output matrix
-kmer Integer: k>1 (default 32) Use 32 for chromosomes and genomes and 16 for small bacteria
-diffuse Integer: z>0 (default 4) Use 4 for everything - if using large plant genomes you can try using 1
-dimension Size of the output matrix and plot. Integer: d>0 (default 1000) Use 1000 for everything that is not full genome size, where 2000 is recommended

bacLIFE: an automated genome mining tool for identification of lifestyle associated genes

BioStar — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 04:59:14 -0500

bacLIFE is a streamlined computational workflow that annotates bacterial genomes and performs large-scale comparative genomics to predict bacterial lifestyles and to pinpoint candidate genes, denominated lifestyle-associated genes (LAGs), and biosynthetic gene clusters associated with each lifestyle detected. This whole process is divided into different modules:

Clustering module Predicts, clusters and annotates the genes of every input genome
Lifestyle prediction Employs a machine learning model to forecast bacterial lifestyle or other specified metadata
Analitical module (Shiny app) Results from the previous modules are embedded in a user-friendly interface for comprehensive and interactive comparative genomics.
