FGENESH - Program for predicting multiple genes in genomic DNA sequences

BioStar — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 11:55:08 -0600

FGENESH is the fastest (50-100 times faster than GenScan) and most accurate gene finder available - see the figure and the table below. In recent rice genome sequencing projects, it was cited "the most successful (gene finding) program (Yu et al. (2002) Science 296:79) and was used to produce 87% of all high-evidence predicted genes (Goff et al. (2002) Science 296:79).

Postdoc position at Centre Méditerranéen de Médecine Moléculaire

Sun, 06 Jul 2014 11:23:06 -0500

The research group of Dr. Michele Trabucchi at the Centre Méditerranéen de Médecine Moléculaire (C3M) at INSERM U1065 (University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France) is seeking candidates for a Postdoctoral fellow position to start on October 2014 for 3 years funded by FRM (Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale).
The broad interest of the lab is in understanding the expression control and function of small RNAs in activated myeloid cells (visit our webpage to check research interests and publications of the group : http://www.unice.fr/c3m/EN/Equipe10.html ).

The work will focus on the functional studies of small RNAs by using next-generation sequencing approaches.

Candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree and have strong background in bioinformatics.
The University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis provides a wide range of facilities and training essential for biomedical research.
Interested applicants should send a PDF with a cover letter stating research interests and qualifications, an updated CV, a summary of previous research experience and contact information for two references to Michele Trabucchi ( mtrabucchi@unice.fr )

kebabs: package provides functionality for kernel based analysis of biological sequences via Support Vector Machine (SVM) based methods

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 00:14:11 -0600

The kebabs package provides functionality for kernel based analysis of biological sequences via Support Vector Machine (SVM) based methods. Biological sequences include DNA, RNA, and amino acid (AA) sequences. Sequence kernels define similarity measures between sequences. The package implements some of the most important kernels for sequence analysis in a very flexible and efficient way and extends the standard position-independent functionality of these kernels in a novel way to take the position of patterns in the sequences into account for the similarity measure.

The Genome 10K Project

Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:11:04 -0500

https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu The Genome 10K project aims to assemble a genomic zoo—a collection of DNA sequences representing the genomes of 10,000 vertebrate species, approximately one for every vertebrate genus. The trajectory of cost reduction in DNA sequencing suggests that this project will be feasible within a few years. Capturing the genetic diversity of vertebrate species would create an unprecedented resource for the life sciences and for worldwide conservation efforts. The growing Genome 10K Community of Scientists (G10KCOS), made up of leading scientists representing major zoos, museums, research centers, and universities around the world, is dedicated to coordinating efforts in tissue specimen collection that will lay the groundwork for a large-scale sequencing and analysis project.
