	<title><![CDATA[Five key traits to seek out in potential bioinformatics candidates !!!]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Genomics and proteomics data are being collected in bulk, but mostly, traditional biologist don&rsquo;t know what to do with it. Perhaps this is the reason why (not only this!!! ) computational biologist/bioinformatics scientists are hot commodities in the research world.</p><p>In fact, there are huge demands for expert biological data analyst. It&rsquo;s a fairly new &nbsp;(not exactly) hot area, these bioinformatician are invaluable because they know and understand the significance of biological data for your research and how you can use it for better understanding of biological problems.</p><p>The bioinformatics can discover biological patterns and stories in genomic and proteomics data. They can develop the pipeline needed to properly collect, store and analyse it.</p><p><img src="http://bioinformaticsonline.com/mod/photo/hire.gif" alt="image" style="border: 0px;"></p><p>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:</p><p>1. Highly Skilled - programming skills, experience with the biological software and tools.</p><p>The biological data won&rsquo;t illuminate much if the scientist analysing it doesn&rsquo;t possess practical programming skills, experience with the biological software and tools and a thorough understanding of basic biological stuff. A solid background in mathematics and statistics is also an indispensable trait.</p><p>2. Insight - Real vision, robust understanding and deep insight.</p><p>In order to hire the best bioinformatics and computational biologist scientist for your needs, it is always recommended and mostly practiced by the recruiters, to ask each contender to write and develop a sample script/presentation based on a specific set of data you provide. Then, explore the approaches used to deal with data provided and pick up those candidates who convey real vision, robust understanding and deep insight.</p><p>3. Energetic &ndash; Curiosity to explore</p><p>Mostly natural curiosity and enthusiasm for solving big biological problems coupled with an ability to transform data into a scientific stories may place one candidate above the rest. In addition to achieve that, the bioinformatician should be agile enough to quickly modify their methods to suit changes within a particular research.</p><p>4. Researcher &ndash; Publications</p><p>Look for someone who has a keen sense and understanding of concern biological problems. You can judge it by looking at previously published papers and data. It is always recommended to have a look at GitHub and other repository for codes written by her/him.</p><p>5. Impressive communicator - Insight that can&rsquo;t be expressed is worthless.</p><p>Good bioinformatics scientists are able to uncover biological patterns and are willing to explain those patterns in clear and helpful ways through thoughtful and open communication. In other words, they should must have good scientific writing skills. A computational biologis/bioinformatician&nbsp; should know how to present the data and tell a scientific story through numbers/images.</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[KisSplice]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>KisSplice is a software that enables to analyse RNA-seq data with or without a reference genome. It is an exact local transcriptome assembler that allows to identify SNPs, indels and alternative splicing events. It can deal with an arbitrary number of biological conditions, and will quantify each variant in each condition. It has been tested on Illumina datasets of up to 1G reads. Its memory consumption is around 5Gb for 100M reads.</p>
<p>KisSplice is not a full-length transcriptome assembler. This means that it will output the variable regions of the transcripts, not reconstruct them entirely.</p>
<p>KisSplice comes as a workflow, with several possible post-treatments meant to facilitate the analysis of the results. The choice of the post-treatment depends on the availability of a reference genome/transcriptome and on the need to perform a differential analysis, as summarised in the following table.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://kissplice.prabi.fr/" rel="nofollow">http://kissplice.prabi.fr/</a></p>]]></description>

<p><span>Point to note:</span></p>
<p><span>There are many situations where A5-miseq is not the right tool for the job. In order to produce accurate results, A5-miseq requires Illumina data with certain characteristics. A5-miseq will likely not work well with Illumina reads shorter than around 80nt, or reads where the base qualities are low in all or most reads before 60nt. A5-miseq assumes it is assembling homozygous haploid genomes. Use a different assembler for metagenomes and heterozygous diploid or polyploid organisms. Use a different assembler if a tool like FastQC reports your data quality is dubious. You have been warned! Datasets consisting solely of unpaired reads are not currently supported.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/ngopt/" rel="nofollow">https://sourceforge.net/projects/ngopt/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[NGS Tutorial]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>These tutorials are written for hundreds of bioinformaticians trying to cope with large volume of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. NGS technologies brought a dramatic shift in the world of sequencing. Merely five years back, genome sequencing of higher eukaryotes used to be very expensive endeavor. To get a genome of interest sequenced, hundreds of scientists had to raise funds together by writing a joint white-paper and petitioning to various government agencies. The tasks of sequencing and assembly were handled by dedicated sequencing facilities, of which only a few existed around the globe. Naturally, the capacities at those sequencing facilities were significantly constrained from high volume of requests</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.homolog.us/Tutorials/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.homolog.us/Tutorials/index.php</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[OPERA : Optimal Paired-End Read Assembler]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>OPERA (Optimal Paired-End Read Assembler) is a sequence assembly program (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_assembly">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_assembly</a>). It uses information from paired-end/mate-pair/long reads to order and orient the intermediate contigs/scaffolds assembled in a genome assembly project, in a process known as Scaffolding. OPERA is based on an exact algorithm that is guaranteed to minimize the discordance of scaffolds with the information provided by the paired-end/mate-pair/long reads (for further details see Gao et al, 2011).</p>
<p>Note that since the original publication, we have made significant changes to OPERA (v1.0 onwards) including refinements to its basic algorithm (to reduce local errors, improve efficiency etc.) and incorporated features that are important for scaffolding large genomes (multi-library support, better repeat-handling etc.), in addition to other scalability and usability improvements (bam and gzip support, smaller memory footprint). We therefore encourage you to download and use our latest version: OPERA-LG. In our benchmarks, it has significantly improved corrected N50 and reduced the number of scaffolding errors. Furthermore, our latest release contains the wrapper script OPERA-long-read that enables scaffolding with long-reads from third-generation sequencing technologies (PacBio or Oxford Nanopore). The manuscript describing the new features and algorithms is available at&nbsp;<a href="https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-016-0951-y">Genome Biology</a>. We look forward to getting your feedback to improve it further.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/operasf/wiki/The%20OPERA%20wiki/" rel="nofollow">https://sourceforge.net/p/operasf/wiki/The%20OPERA%20wiki/</a></p>]]></description>
