	<title><![CDATA[Mitochondrial genome assembly tools !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Mitochondrial genome assembly tools are specialized software and algorithms designed to accurately reconstruct the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) from sequencing data, typically obtained through techniques like next-generation sequencing (NGS). The mitochondrial genome is relatively small compared to the nuclear genome, making it an ideal target for assembly. Here are some commonly used mitochondrial genome assembly tools:</p><p><strong>MitoFinder:</strong> Mitofinder is a pipeline to assemble mitochondrial genomes and annotate mitochondrial genes from trimmed read sequencing data.</p><p><strong>MitoHiFi:</strong> a python pipeline for mitochondrial genome assembly from PacBio high fidelity reads</p><p>MITObim: MITObim is a tool specifically developed for the iterative assembly of mitochondrial genomes. It starts with a reference mitogenome and iteratively refines the assembly using the read data.</p><p><strong>MITOS:</strong> MITOS is a web-based platform that provides a pipeline for annotating mitochondrial genomes. It integrates multiple software tools for assembly, annotation, and visualization of mitogenomes.</p><p><strong>MIRA:</strong> MIRA (Mimicking Intelligent Read Assembly) is a versatile genome assembly tool that can be used for mitochondrial genome assembly. It supports various sequencing technologies and allows for reference-based or de novo assembly.</p><p><strong>NOVOPlasty:</strong> NOVOPlasty is a user-friendly tool designed for de novo assembly of organelle genomes, including mitochondria. It utilizes a seed-and-extend algorithm and is suitable for both short-read and long-read data.</p><p><strong>MITOS2:</strong> MITOS2 is an updated version of the MITOS pipeline, which automates the annotation of mitochondrial genomes. It provides improved accuracy and additional features for mitochondrial genome analysis.</p><p><strong>GetOrganelle:</strong> While primarily designed for chloroplast genome assembly, GetOrganelle can also be used for mitochondrial genome assembly. It is particularly useful for dealing with high-throughput sequencing data.</p><p><strong>SPAdes:</strong> SPAdes (St. Petersburg genome assembler) is a versatile genome assembly tool that can be employed for mitochondrial genome assembly, especially when dealing with complex datasets that may contain nuclear mitochondrial DNA sequences (numts).</p><p><strong>IDBA-UD:</strong> IDBA-UD (Iterative De Bruijn Graph De Novo Assembler) is another de novo assembly tool that can be used for mitochondrial genome assembly, especially in cases with relatively low coverage.</p><p><strong>Velvet:</strong> Velvet is a de novo assembly tool that can be applied to mitochondrial genome assembly, especially when working with short-read data.</p><p>When selecting a mitochondrial genome assembly tool, it's important to consider the specific characteristics of your sequencing data, such as read length and coverage, as well as the complexity of the mitochondrial genome. Additionally, some tools are better suited for specific organisms or research objectives, so choosing the right tool will depend on your particular project requirements.</p>]]></description>

<p>Interested in various topics at the intersection of ecology and evolution. In my research I use rotifers as model organisms for experimental studies at the individual and population level. Rotifers are ideally suited for this, because populations of thousands can be kept in small containers in the lab, while single individuals can still be handled conveniently. </p>

	<description><![CDATA[<iframe width="" height="" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Yagdvqn2YMU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>What can we learn from people with the genetics to get sick — who don't? With most inherited diseases, only some family members will develop the disease, while others who carry the same genetic risks dodge it. Stephen Friend suggests we start studying those family members who stay healthy. Hear about the Resilience Project, a massive effort to collect genetic materials that may help decode inherited disorders.

<p>Ministry of Science and Technology, Department of Science and Technology</p>

<p>7th ADVERTISEMENT – 2014 (2)</p>

<p>INSPIRE Faculty Scheme: a component of “Assured Opportunity for Research Career (AORC)” under INSPIRE.</p>

<p>The Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, has launched the “Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE)” [http://www.inspire-dst.gov.in] program in 2008.</p>

<p>The program aims to attract talent for study of science and careers with research. INSPIRE includes many components. The importance of Assured Career Opportunity in R&amp;D sector has been recognized.</p>

<p>INSPIRE Faculty Scheme opens up an “Assured Opportunity for Research Career (AORC)” for young researchers in the age group of 27-32 years. It offers a contractual research awards to young achievers and opportunity for independent research in the near term and emerge as a future leader in the long term.</p>

<p>Eligibility</p>

<p>Essential Indian citizens and people of Indian origin including NRI/PIO status with PhD (in science, mathematics, engineering, pharmacy, medicine, and agriculture related subjects) from any recognized university in the world,</p>

<p>Those who have submitted their PhD Theses and are awaiting award of the degree are also<br />eligible. However, the award will be conveyed only after confirmation of the awarding the<br />PhD degree.</p>

<p>The upper age limit as on 1st July 2014 should be 32 years for considering support for a<br />period of 5 years. However, for SC and ST candidates, upper age limit will be 35 years.</p>

<p>Publication(s) in highly reputed Journals demonstrating research potential of the candidate.</p>

<p>Desirable</p>
