BOL

An API for Embedded Scientific Computing

Once your research group is ready to make a larger investment and hire a bioinformatician to gain a competitive edge, there are several key traits to seek out in potential candidates. The best bioinformatician are:-

github.com - 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...

github.com - Canu is a fork of the Celera Assembler designed for high-noise single-molecule sequencing (such as the PacBio RSII or Oxford Nanopore MinION). The software is currently alpha level, feel free to use and report issues encountered. Canu is...

github.com - methylKit is an R package for DNA methylation analysis and annotation from high-throughput bisulfite sequencing. The package is designed to deal with sequencing data from RRBS and its variants, but also target-capture methods such as Agilent...

github.com - pyScaf orders contigs from genome assemblies utilising several types of information: paired-end (PE) and/or mate-pair libraries (NGS-based mode) long reads (NGS-based mode) synteny to the genome of some related species (reference-based...

github.com - Development packages for zlib and libbz2 are needed, as well as a standard compiler environment. On Ubuntu, this can be installed via: sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool automake zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev pkg-config On MacOS, the Apple...

We are a computational biology lab that develops novel methods for analysis of DNA and RNA sequences. Our research includes software for aligning and assembling RNA-seq data, whole-genome assembly, and microbiome analysis. We work closely with...

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-to-sequence-the-human-genome-mark-j-kiel Your genome, every human's genome, consists of a unique DNA sequence of A's, T's, C's and G's that tell your cells how to operate. Thanks to technological...

Lab focus is to elucidate fundamental principles, new mechanisms, machineries and emergent properties that are involved in maintaining the genome and gene expression programmes for improvements in lifelong health and well-being for all. More at...
