www.docker.com - dockr 0.8.6 is now available on CRAN. dockr is a minimal toolkit to build a lightweight Docker container image for your R package, in which the package itself is available. The Docker image seeks to mirror your R session as close as possible with...

github.com - PaReBrick. The tool takes a collection of strains represented as a sequence of oriented synteny blocks and a phylogenetic tree as input data. It identifies rearrangements, tests them for consistency with a tree, and sorts the events by their...

Huge amounts of genotype data are being produced with recent technological advances, both from increasingly comprehensive and inexpensive genome-wide SNP microarrays and from ever more accessible whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing methods

Prioritizing missense variants for further experimental investigation is a key challenge in current sequencing studies for exploring complex and Mendelian diseases. A large number of in silico tools have been employed for the task of...

github.com - Mix is a tool that combines two or more draft assemblies, without relying on a reference genome and has the goal to reduce contig fragmentation and thus speed-up genome finishing. The proposed algorithm builds an extension graph where vertices...

github.com - VcfR is an R package intended to allow easy manipulation and visualization of variant call format (VCF) data. Functions are provided to rapidly read from and write to VCF files. Once VCF data is read into R a parser function extracts matrices from...

The method used to isolate, enrich and sequence a sample will affect the composition of the sequencing data in terms of the types of RNA species represented and their relative abundances

Benchmarking a new metagenomic pipeline often begins with a fundamental challenge. Imagine a bioinformatician preparing to benchmark a new metagenomic pipeline. There is no shortage of real sequencing data, but one problem quickly appears: the exact...

www.bioconductor.org - This package is intended to provide tools for the quality assessment of data produced by Oxford Nanopore’s MinION sequencer. It includes a functions to generate a number plots for examining the statistics that we think will be useful for this...
