github.com - nQuire implements a set of commands to estimate ploidy level of individuals from species, where recent polyploidization occurred and intraspecific ploidy variation is observed. Specifically, nQuire uses next-generation sequencing data to distinguish...

The main objectives of this Practical Course are to strengthen skills of PhD students and young researchers in the domain of Bioinformatics and Genome Data Analyses on the use of advanced fundamental algorithms and their applications in genome...

github.com - ClinCNV detects CNVs in germline and somatic context in NGS data (targeted and whole-genome). We work in cohorts, so it makes sense to try ClinCNV if you have more than 10 samples (recommended amount - 40 since we estimate variances from...

csb5.github.io - LoFreq* (i.e. LoFreq version 2) is a fast and sensitive variant-caller for inferring SNVs and indels from next-generation sequencing data. It makes full use of base-call qualities and other sources of errors inherent in sequencing (e.g. mapping or...

github.com - Key features Filters SNVs from any variant caller to remove false positives Calculates metrics based on BAM files and provides filtering not possible with other tools Fully user-configurable filtering (including which filters to use and their...

For our next PhD Program starting in October 2014 we are looking for exceptionally motivated PhD candidates with a keen interest in genomics and medicine and a strong interest to work in teams. The 2014 CeMM PhD Program will focus on two thematic...
