GWASpro: A High-Performance Genome-Wide Association Analysis Server

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 08:04:57 -0600

GWASpro supports building complex design matrices, by which complex experimental designs that may include replications, treatments, locations and times, can be accounted for in the linear mixed model (LMM). GWASpro is optimized to handle GWAS data that may consist of up to 10 million markers and 10,000 samples from replicable lines or hybrids. GWASpro provides an interface that significantly reduces the learning curve for new GWAS investigators.

The 10th North East Bioinformatics Network (NEBINet) Annual Coordinators' Meet

Jit — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 15:02:44 -0600

The 10th North East Bioinformatics Network (NEBINet) Annual Coordinators' Meet organised by the Bioinformatics Centre, St Edmund's College, Shillong and sponsored by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, was held at St Edmund's College Auditorium here on Thursday. Meghalaya Governor Ganga Prasad graced the inaugural programme as chief guest.
In his inaugural address, the Governor said the panorama of scientific scenario has greatly changed over the years, the thrust areas have undergone a metamorphosis but the conceptual underpinning of the basic sciences still continues.
"Of late, the activity of basic research has been intricately intertwined with technology. And we are determined to carry forward this change, for it is through technology that science can actually reach the masses in our country and afar, and the changing times have also inculcated a culture of cross-departmental and interdisciplinary research. Science and technology has always played a pivotal role in taking a nation towards greater heights by ways of innovations and inventions," he added.
Prasad also hoped that discussions, suggestions and sharing of innovative ideas during the two-day 10th NEBINet Annual Coordinators' Meet will open up new avenues to make substantial advancement in Biological Sciences which will provide a platform for proper and effective delivery mechanism for the common man.
During the inaugural function, Advisor of Department of Biotechnology Dr T Madhan Mohan gave an overview of the NEBINet and Bioinformatics programme.
President of Epygen Biotech FZ LLC, Dubai, UAE, Dr Debayan Ghosh, delivered the keynote address.
St Edmund's College governing body secretary Brother Simon Coelho and St Edmund's College Principal Dr Sylvanus Lamare also spoke during the function.

Bactopia: a Flexible Pipeline for Complete Analysis of Bacterial Genomes

Abhi — Wed, 15 May 2024 14:36:12 -0500

Bactopia is a flexible pipeline for complete analysis of bacterial genomes. The goal of Bactopia is to process your data with a broad set of tools, so that you can get to the fun part of analyses quicker!

Bactopia can be split into two main parts: Bactopia Analysis Pipeline, and Bactopia Tools.

Bactopia Analysis Pipeline is the main per-isolate workflow in Bactopia. Built with Nextflow, input FASTQs (local or available from SRA/ENA) are put through numerous analyses including: quality control, assembly, annotation, minmer sketch queries, sequence typing, and more.

Bactopia Tools are a set a independent workflows fo

Mesquite: A modular system for evolutionary analysis

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 07:42:46 -0500

Mesquite is modular, extendible software for evolutionary biology, designed to help biologists organize and analyze comparative data about organisms. Its emphasis is on phylogenetic analysis, but some of its modules concern population genetics, while others do non-phylogenetic multivariate analysis. Because it is modular, the analyses available depend on the modules installed.

RNAseq data analysis links !

Robert M Willioms — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 16:28:11 -0600

RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) has a wide variety of applications, but no single analysis pipeline can be used in all cases. We review all of the major steps in RNA-seq data analysis, including experimental design, quality control, read alignment, quantification of gene and transcript levels, visualization, differential gene expression, alternative splicing, functional analysis, gene fusion detection and eQTL mapping.
