github.com - Simulated genomes with pre-defined and random genomic variants can be very useful for benchmarking genomic and bioinformatics analyses. Here we introduce simuG, a lightweight tool for simulating the full-spectrum of genomic variants (single...

Param Bio Blaze, a supercomputing facility, to address the challenges in bioinformatics on Tuesday at a three-day symposium.

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 - HapSolo, that identifies secondary contigs and defines a primary assembly based on multiple pairwise contig alignment metrics. HapSolo evaluates candidate primary assemblies using BUSCO scores and then distinguishes among candidate assemblies using...
