	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Given a de novo assembly, we often measure the &ldquo;average&rdquo; contig length by N50.&nbsp;</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N50,_L50,_and_related_statistics">N50</a><span>&nbsp;is neither the real average nor median. It is the length of the contig such that this and longer contigs cover at least 50% of the assembly. A longer N50 indicates better contiguity. We can similarly define N</span><em>x</em><span>&nbsp;such that contigs no shorter than N</span><em>x</em><span>&nbsp;covers&nbsp;</span><em>x</em><span>% of the assembly. The N</span><em>x</em><span>&nbsp;curve plots N</span><em>x</em><span>&nbsp;as a function of&nbsp;</span><em>x</em><span>, where&nbsp;</span><em>x</em><span>&nbsp;is ranged from 0 to 100.</span></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Bipype is a very useful program, which prepare a lot of types of bioinformatics analyses. There are three input options: amplicons, WGS (whole genome sequences) and metatranscriptomic data. If amplicons are input data, then bipype does reconstruction and pairs merging. After that biodiversity is searching. There are two types of searching depending on the amplicons types (ITS or 16S). If WGS are chosen, then bipype finds the SA coordinates of the input reads and generates alignments in the SAM format given single-end reads, aligns reads to reference sequence(s). All of these analyses will be shown with Krona program, which allows to show hierarchical data with pie charts.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://readthedocs.org/projects/bipype/" rel="nofollow">https://readthedocs.org/projects/bipype/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[nf-core/mag v5: Advancing Genome-Resolved Metagenomics]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Metagenomics is rapidly moving beyond short-read sequencing. With the increasing adoption of long-read technologies, researchers can generate more contiguous assemblies&mdash;but converting these reads into reliable metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) remains computationally challenging.</p><p>nf-core/mag v5 (https://github.com/nf-core/mag) addresses this challenge by extending its reproducible Nextflow-based workflow for modern genome-resolved metagenomics.</p><p>A key addition is support for long-read-only metagenomic assembly and bin refinement, enabling long-read data to be processed through an integrated workflow. The release also introduces five additional binning tools, providing complementary strategies for recovering genomes from complex microbial communities.</p><p>The workflow has also expanded beyond conventional bacterial and archaeal MAGs, with improved classification of viruses and eukaryotes, together with enhanced genome-quality assessment.</p><p>Conceptually, the workflow brings together:</p><p>Reads &rarr; QC &rarr; Assembly &rarr; Binning &rarr; Bin refinement &rarr; Taxonomic classification &rarr; MAG quality assessment</p><p>The real strength of nf-core/mag is not any single algorithm, but the integration and reproducibility of multiple tools within a standardized workflow. This is particularly important for large-scale metagenomic studies where software versions, parameters, databases and computational environments can strongly influence results.</p><p>After seven years of development involving multiple curator teams and the wider nf-core community, v5 demonstrates how community-driven workflow development can keep metagenomic analysis aligned with rapidly evolving sequencing technologies.</p><p>The future of genome-resolved metagenomics is not simply longer reads&mdash;it is better integration of assembly, binning, refinement and quality control within reproducible computational workflows.</p><p>Read the full paper in Bioinformatics https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/42/9/btag628/8770536?</p>]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[16th Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB)]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>Abstract submissions for our upcoming symposium on the Genomics of Adaptation that will take place as part of the 16th Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB). The conference will take place from August 20th - August 25th, 2017 in Groningen, the Netherlands. </p>

<p>SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION: Genomics of Adaptation [S16] Model organisms for life-history research are mainly studied in the lab where functional genetics is assessable. In general, however, knowledge about their eco-evolutionary dynamics, such as biotic interactions, is rare. By contrast, in organisms for which the ecology and adaptation strategies in the field are well known, we typically lack the appropriate genetic tools to investigate functionality. Advances in genomics and statistics as well as investments in evolutionary model organisms are now providing access to putatively adaptive genome-wide variation within species from across the tree of life. In this symposium, we focus on integrating life-history biology, genetics and evolutionary ecology in the genomics era. </p>

<p>We wish to (1) highlight the role of genetic architecture of complex traits, such as adaptations to biotic interactions or life-history traits; (2) contrast this to morphological traits which are generally thought to have a less complex genetic architecture; and (3) discuss the opportunities and drawbacks of specific model systems. </p>

<p>INVITED SPEAKERS: Josephine Pemberton, University of Cambridge (http://bit.ly/2hJWytJ ) Peter Tiffin, University of Minnesota (http://bit.ly/2hK7HuS ) </p>

<p>ABSTRACT SUBMISSION The deadline for abstract submission is January 10, 2017. For more information and to submit abstracts online, please visit: http://bit.ly/2fBXlvN We look forward to an exciting symposium and seeing you all in Groningen! Sincerely, Ben Blackman, UC Berkeley Maaike de Jong, University of Bristol Bart Pannebakker, Wageningen University Noah Whiteman, UC Berkeley Jelle Zandveld, Wageningen University</p>
