github.com - MEC, to identify and correct misassemblies in contigs. Firstly, MEC takes fragment coverage as the feature to detect the candidate misassemblies. Then, it can distinguish a large number of false positives from the candidate misassemblies based on...
github.com - SvABA is a method for detecting structural variants in sequencing data using genome-wide local assembly. Under the hood, SvABA uses a custom implementation of SGA (String Graph Assembler) by Jared Simpson, and BWA-MEM by Heng Li....
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...
github.com - RefKA, a reference-based approach for long read genome assembly. This approach relies on breaking up a closely related reference genome into bins, aligning k-mers unique to each bin with PacBio reads, and then assembling each bin in parallel...
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 - GraphUnzip, a fast, memory-efficient and accurate tool to unzip assembly graphs into their constituent haplotypes using long reads and/or Hi-C data. As GraphUnzip only connects sequences in the assembly graph that already had a potential link based...

Applications are invited upto 21.11.2016 from interested candidates as per details available on NICPR website (www.nicpr.res.in)/ ICMR website (www.icmr.nic.in)...
SPAdes—St. Petersburg genome Assembler—was originally developed for de novo assembly of genome sequencing data produced for cultivated microbial isolates and for single-cell genomic DNA sequencing. With time, the functionality of SPAdes...
github.com - ContigExtender, was developed to extend contigs, complementing de novo assembly. ContigExtender employs a novel recursive Overlap Layout Candidates (r-OLC) strategy that explores multiple extending paths to achieve longer and highly accurate...
