github.com - HASLR is a tool for rapid genome assembly of long sequencing reads. HASLR is a hybrid tool which means it requires long reads generated by Third Generation Sequencing technologies (such as PacBio or Oxford Nanopore) together with Next Generation...

China’s BGI says it can sequence a genome for just $100

Advertisement No. T/NT-01 (2014) Faculty Positions The Central University of Punjab (CUP), Bathinda will be having the Schools and Departments as given in Table-I. The University invites applications from eligible candidates for the posts of...

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...

Applications with complete bio-data are invited for JRF (3) and Project Assistant (1) in a DBT project "Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based de novo assembly of expressed transcripts and genome information of Orchids in North-East India"...

github.com - Often, genome assembly projects have illumina whole genome sequencing reads available for the assembled individual. The k-mer spectrum of this read set can be used for independently evaluating assembly quality without the need of a high quality...

an R package for analysing ontologies and protein domain annotations

There are two methods for ancient WGD detection, one is collinearity analysis, and the other is based on the Ks distribution map. Among them, Ks is defined as the average number of synonymous substitutions at each synonymous site, and there is...
