github.com - Mix is a tool that combines two or more draft assemblies, without relying on a reference genome and has the goal to reduce contig fragmentation and thus speed-up genome finishing. The proposed algorithm builds an extension graph where vertices...

"I think you can get very far on a technical level. The problem is that a human body is more complex than just one cell." ... "At some point we still need clinical tests on animals and humans before we use it for real treatment. But we will likely...

github.com - VcfR is an R package intended to allow easy manipulation and visualization of variant call format (VCF) data. Functions are provided to rapidly read from and write to VCF files. Once VCF data is read into R a parser function extracts matrices from...

Graduate research assistantships in quantitative genetics are available with Gota Morota in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Current projects in the Morota lab include developing kernel-based...

the sequenced reads can be mapped to the organism’s genes to assess how differently the genes are expressed under the experimental circumstances as opposed to the control scenario. This is known as differential expression (DE) analysis
