DNA samples of living people infer the ancient biological relationship ...

We are looking for a motivated application scientist to help evaluate, compare, and develop next generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis methods. The successful candidate should be able to quickly understand the state-of-art computational biology...

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

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...

The Computational Biology Group of Interdisciplinary Center for Clinical Research (IZKF) Aachen, RWTH Aachen University Hospital, Aachen, invites applicants for PhD candidate or postdoctoral position in computational biology in one of the...

github.com - Despite marked recent improvements in long-read sequencing technology, the assembly of diploid genomes remains a difficult task. A major obstacle is distinguishing between alternative contigs that represent highly heterozygous regions. If primary...

The list of some funny jokes for bioinformatician !!!

github.com - InfoGenomeR is the Integrative Framework for Genome Reconstruction that uses a breakpoint graph to model the connectivity among genomic segments at the genome-wide scale. InfoGenomeR integrates cancer purity and ploidy, total CNAs, allele-specific...

Dr. Jarvis’ laboratory studies the neurobiology of vocal communication. We want to know how the brain generates, perceives, and learns behavior. We use vocal communication as a model behavior. Emphasis is placed on the molecular pathways involved in...

bioinfologics.github.io - What is a k-mer anyway? A k-mer is just a sequence of k characters in a string (or nucleotides in a DNA sequence). Now, it is important to remember that to get all k-mers from a sequence you need to get...
