Diploid Assembly of a Puerto Rican Female Adds a Rich Resource to Population-Specific Reference Genomes

gwct.github.io - Modern genome sequencing technologies provide a succint measure of quality at each position in every read, however all of this information is lost in the assembly process. Referee summarizes the quality information from the reads that map to a site...

Roche has acquired Bina Technologies, a privately-owned biotech company based in California.

http://ggdc.dsmz.de/ - The GGDC web service reports digital DDH for a universal and accurate delineation of prokaryotic (sub-)species without inheriting the pitfalls of classic DDH, and also calculates differences in genomic G+C...

Python 3.5 to include ‘type hinting’

amos.sourceforge.net - We present the first collection of tools aimed at automated genome assembly validation. This work formalizes several mechanisms for detecting mis-assemblies, and describes their implementation in our automated validation pipeline,...
