brig.sourceforge.net - BRIG is a free cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Unix) application that can display circular comparisons between a large number of genomes, with a focus on handling genome assembly data. The application is available at:...

To decide which strategy should be our “preferred” genome assembly approach based on data rather than my gut-feeling about the “best assembly” I decided to do some testing with a known “true” reference E Coli K12 MG1655

tritexassembly.bitbucket.io - The pipeline is open-source and hosted in a public Bitbucket repository. TRITEX has been run on highly inbred genotypes of barley (Hordeum vulgare), tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum) and hexaploid wheat (T. aestivum) with reasonable...

Today at work, I learned how to install Perl modules using CPAN. It’s a lot easier than I thought.

www.nature.com - There is no disputing the importance of statistical analysis in biological research, but too often it is considered only after an experiment is completed, when it may be too late. This collection highlights important statistical issues that...

Basics concepts of Probability: The Study of Randomness Biostatistics is the application of statistics to a wide range of topics in biology. The science of biostatistics encompasses the design of biological experiments, especially in medicine,...

github.com - The pipeline can use information from scaffolded assemblies (for example from HiC or 10X Genomics), or even from diverged (~65-100 Mya) reference genomes for ordering the contigs and thus support the assembly process. This typically results in...

www.nature.com - Alignment of the porcine genome against seven other mammalian genomes (Supplementary Information) identified homologous synteny blocks (HSBs). Using porcine HSBs and stringent filtering criteria, 192 pig-specific evolutionary breakpoint regions...
