GRAbB: Selective Assembly of Genomic Regions, a New Niche for Genomic Research

Rahul Nayak — Sat, 26 Jan 2019 18:58:16 -0600

GRAbB is shown to be more efficient than MITObim in terms of speed, memory and disk usage. The other functionalities (handling multiple targets simultaneously and extracting homologous regions) of the new program are not matched by other programs. The program is available with explanatory documentation at https://github.com/b-brankovics/grabb. GRAbB has been tested on Ubuntu (12.04 and 14.04), Fedora (23), CentOS (7.1.1503) and Mac OS X (10.7). Furthermore, GRAbB is available as a docker repository: brankovics/grabb (https://hub.docker.com/r/brankovics/grabb/).

Senior Bioinformatician (Assembly) Moore Aquatic Symbiosis Project Tree of Life

Sat, 02 Oct 2021 00:28:30 -0500

You will have some previous experience with genome bioinformatics or other large scale scientific data analysis, or a newly qualified graduate student with data science skills interested in DNA sequence data. While desirable, previous experience with DNA sequencing data is not strictly necessary for the position. We have a strong publication record and culture of producing open data resources and open source software development. This role requires an investigative and solution-oriented mindset and excellent communication skills to work effectively within large national and international consortia.

Applied Statistics for Bioinformatics using R

Neel — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 03:45:39 -0500

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction into statistics in order to solve some problems of bioinformatics. Statistics provides procedures to explore and visualize data as well as to test biological hypotheses. The book intends to be introductory in explaining and programming elementary statistical concepts, thereby bridging the gap between high school levels and the specialized statistical literature

CLAW: Chloroplast Long-read Assembly Workflow

LEGE — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 12:37:46 -0600

CLAW (Chloroplast Long-read Assembly Workflow) is an mostly-automated Snakemake-based workflow for the assembly of chloroplast genomes. CLAW uses chloroplast long-reads, which are baited out of larger read libraries (e.g., an Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION read library derived from photosynthetic tissue), for assembly with Flye and/or Unicycler. CLAW was designed with the novice bioinformatician in mind - it is easy to install and easy to use, requiring only minimal user input.

BETSY: A new backward-chaining expert system for automated development of pipelines in Bioinformatics

Jit — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 18:46:51 -0600

The BETSY provides a command-line interface and available at https://github.com/jefftc/changlab. A user first searches in the knowledge base for desired output and then BETSY develops an initial workflow to produce that data which is later examined by the user. The user can optimize the parameters, the algorithm to preprocess the data, and normalize it depending on the task.

Currently, BETSY consists of modules required for the microarray and next-generation sequencing data [4] such as expression analysis, classification, peak calling, and visualization.
