Young computational biologist named Yaniv Erlich shocked the research world by showing it was possible to unmask the identities of people listed in anonymous genetic databases using only an Internet connection
This research group works on problems from the fields of Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, Data Mining, and Information Retrieval. The group's research projects includes Comparative Genomics of Bacterial genomes, Metagenomics, Genomic databases,...
crossmap.sourceforge.net - CrossMap is a program for convenient conversion of genome coordinates (or annotation files) between different assemblies (such as Human hg18 (NCBI36) <> hg19 (GRCh37), Mouse mm9 (MGSCv37) <> mm10 (GRCm38)).
It supports most commonly...
hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu - This directory contains Genome Browser and Blat application binaries built for standalone command-line use on various supported Linux and UNIX platforms. To determine which set of binaries to download, type "uname -a" on the command line to display...
The laboratory is focused on the discovery and analysis of structural variation (SVs) from genomic sequence data. As part of the 1000 Genomes Project and other endeavors, we have helped produce initial fine-scale maps using a variety of SV discovery...
Computer simulation is the discipline of designing a model of an actual or theoretical physical/biological system, executing the model on a digital computer, and analyzing the execution output.
