Illumina reveals first dataset of long reads

Rahul Agarwal — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 06:29:14 -0500

With the help of Moleculo technology , acquired by Illumina releases new service for long reads sequencing i.e., FastTrack Long Reads.

Average read length is around 8,500 base pairs in release dataset. Best thing about this, there is not much effect on cost and quality of data.

You can also check following pages for publications on long reads and more:

ShRec3D

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 25 Dec 2014 23:14:52 -0600

ShRec3D is a program that aims at reconstructing a genome 3D structure (b) from the sole knowledge of the contacts between different genomic regions (a) as determined by Hi-C (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19815776).

There are two options to run ShRec3D (on linuX only so far): the first one uses the Matlab complier runtime environment (MCR), the second one doesn't need any other library to be installed but only works with the latest versions of Linux (equivalent to Fedora 19 and above).

Tigers genome sequenced

Rahul Agarwal — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:48:24 -0500

Fifteen scientists led by Dr Jong Bhak of Genome Research Foundation, South Korea, decoded as many as 3 billion nucleotides (organic molecules that form the basic building blocks of nucleic acids, such as DNA). They identified 20,000 genes related to various functions of the tiger.

The biggest and perhaps most fearsome of the world's big cats, the tiger, shares 95.6 percent of its DNA with humans' cute and furry companions, domestic cats.

The new research showed that big cats have genetic mutations that enabled them to be carnivores. The team also identified mutations that allow snow leopards to thrive at high altitudes.

Which of the followings are the best place to study Bioinformatics ?

Reshma Khatun — Sun, 28 Dec 2014 00:20:30 -0600

Bioinformatics is a major growth area and qualified Bioinformaticians are in high demand. An explosion in biological data has resulted from genome projects, next generation sequencing and other 'omics' techniques. Bioinformatics provides the tools to analyse and exploit such data sets.

Can you please suggest me the best place to study bioinformatics ( Grad/PostGrad).

The First 50 Plant Genomes

Rahul Agarwal — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:19:35 -0500

Plant scientists can exploit available 50 plant complete genomic data for their resequencing or other related projects for understanding the genetic mechanism behind their different traits and molecular evolution. Complete information about these plant genomes given in paper link.

Roche has acquired Bina Technologies !!!

Jit — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:42:16 -0600

Bina Technologies is a privately held company that provides a big data platform for centralized management and processing of next generation sequencing (NGS) data for the academic and translational research markets. Bina will be integrated into the Roche Sequencing Unit, and will continue to focus on development of their innovative genomic analysis solution.

Roche has acquired Bina Technologies, a privately-owned biotech company based in California. The biotech’s first product was the Bina Box, a platform for secondary genomic analysis, sequence alignment, and variant calling, but since 2012, it has developed other products and platforms.

It is our shared vision with Roche that informatics and data sciences are critical elements of an end-to-end genomics solution. Fast, easy-to-use, scalable, and robust informatics solutions make a big difference in the quality and impact of the work of scientists and researchers. We believe in the future of data-driven, personalized medicine. We are passionate about accelerating that future together with Roche.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. For Roche, the move is yet another in a string of acquisitions. Last week (December 18), Roche paid $489 million for antibody maker Dutalys. And earlier this month, Roche bought prenatal testing company Ariosa Diagnostics.

GeneProf: analysis of high-throughput sequencing experiment

Jit — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 16:47:05 -0500

GeneProf is a web-based, graphical software suite that allows users to analyse data produced using high-throughput sequencing platforms (RNA-seq and ChIP-seq; "Next-Generation Sequencing" or NGS): Next-gen analysis for next-gen data!

Some of GeneProf's highlights include:

Easy-to-use web-based interface:Access your data at any time from any computer with a working internet connection -- no need to install software! (cp. Section 'System Requirements').
Analysis wizards make your life easy:Step-by-step workflows make it easy to analyse high-throughput data within a minimum of hands-on time. (cp. SubConcept 'Analysis Wizards').
Versatile modules:Advanced users and data analysis experts benefit from GeneProf's broad range of analysis modules, which can be combined freely into sophisticated workflows (cp. Concept 'Workflows').
Integrated Analysis:Analysis of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data in one place, plus support for the integration of other external data (e.g. from microarrays).
Comprehensive Resource:GeneProf provides a comprehensive resource of fully analyzed next-generation sequencing data. Experimental results can be easily accessed and compared and the analysis procedures employed to produce the data are fully transparent (cp. Tutorial 'Examining Public Next-Gen Data..').
Extensibility:Algorithm developers and computer programmers can develop their own modules and extend GeneProf. Existing software can be easily wrapped in the workflow framework (cp. Section 'Module Development: Adding new..') and data from GeneProf may be used externally (cp. Section 'Web API: Retrieving Data from ..').

GeneProf is academic software developed at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine / Institute for Stem Cell Research, University of Edinburgh and has benefited from funding by the Medical Research Council and the EU Framework 7 Project "EuroSyStem".

Type Hinting

Pranjali Yadav — Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:26:13 -0600

Python creator Guido van Rossum’s proposal for static type-checking annotations is inching closer to reality, and the feature has taken on a new name: type hinting.

Back in August, van Rossum published a proposal on the Python mailing list recommending type-checking annotations as a valuable feature for the next version of Python to improve the performance of editors and IDEs, linter capabilities, standard notation, and refactoring. Van Rossum’s latest proposal, posted late last month, outlined plans to publish a Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) in early January to put the feature now known as type hinting on track for inclusion in Python 3.5, slated for release this September.
