2 positions on the evolutionary analysis of biological sequences in Montpellier - France

Mon, 28 Sep 2015 08:25:48 -0500

The Methods and Algorithms for Bioinformatics (MAB) team at the LIRMM (computer science, robotics and microelectronics laboratory at the CNRS & University of Montpellier, France) is looking for talented individuals to fill two postdoctoral positions. We are seeking candidates with a strong background in computational evolutionary biology. The positions will start by the end of 2015.

The first of the positions (duration: 18-24 months), associated with the European VIROGENESIS project (http://www.kuleuven.be/english/research/EU/p/horizon2020/sc/sc1/Virogenesis), concerns the evolutionary analysis of viral sequences. Topics include -- but are not limited to -- phylogenetic classification of metagenomic reads and the recombination history of viruses.

The second position (duration: 1 year), associated with the Institute for Computational Biology (IBC, http://www.ibc-montpellier.fr), concerns evolutionary analyses of large-scale genomic data -- including the inference of very large phylogenies, gene/species tree reconciliation, comparative genomics, phylogenetic network inference and verification, phylogeography, the use of phylogenies to study the evolution of characters.

A one thousand year old city, Montpellier is a thriving research community with a multitude of biology and biomedical research centers. It is the fastest growing city in France where approximately one third of the population are students, and a wonderful location for outdoor activities (kite/wind surfing, sailing, river/sea kayaking, hiking and rock climbing). The LIRMM is one of the most visible computer science laboratories in France.

Understanding HiFi Reads !

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 19:48:11 -0500

While little public data is available for either of the new synthetic long read approaches, Illumina showed an example comparison earlier this year at the Festival of Genomics & Biodata conference (FoG 2022). In the IGV screenshot presented (below), synthetic Infinity reads – labeled “Longas” – are at the top, followed by standard Illumina short reads, and PacBio HiFi reads labeled “CCS” depicted at the bottom:

VariantBam: Filtering and profiling of next-generational sequencing data using region-specific rules

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 16:30:44 -0500

VariantBam is a tool to extract/count specific sets of sequencing reads from next-generational sequencing files. To save money, disk space and I/O, one may not want to store an entire BAM on disk. In many cases, it would be more efficient to store only those read-pairs or reads who intersect some region around the variant locations. Alternatively, if your scientific question is focused on only one aspect of the data (e.g. breakpoints), many reads can be removed without losing the information relevant to the problem.

jackalope: A swift, versatile phylogenomic and high-throughput sequencing simulator

Abhimanyu Singh — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 00:58:12 -0500

jackalope simply and efficiently simulates (i) variants from reference genomes and (ii) reads from both Illumina and Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) platforms. It can either read reference genomes from FASTA files or simulate new ones. Genomic variants can be simulated using summary statistics, phylogenies, Variant Call Format (VCF) files, and coalescent simulations—the latter of which can include selection, recombination, and demographic fluctuations. jackalope can simulate single, paired-end, or mate-pair Illumina reads, as well as reads from Pacific Biosciences These simulations include sequencing errors, mapping qualities, multiplexing, and optical/PCR duplicates. All outputs can be written to standard file formats.
