Some five points to keep in mind for bioinformatics software/tools

wist is looking for a Bioinformatics Scientist to join our Production Bioinformatics Team. You will work alongside research scientists, software engineers and data scientists to further deliver on our mission to expand access to best-in-class...

Ongoing research in the group of Karine Van Doninck involves topics at the core of evolutionary biology, including the evolution of sex, genome maintenance, recombination and extreme stress resistance on different eukaryotic systems, including...

1. Ktrim: An extra-fast, accurate adapter trimmer for sequencing data. It processes FASTQ files from multiple lanes with minimal mismatching and over-trimming of adapters.2. BWA MEM: A reliable alignment tool (particularly for mapping ALT contigs...

biokit.readthedocs.io - BioKit is a set of tools dedicated to bioinformatics, data visualisation (biokit.viz), access to online biological data (e.g. UniProt, NCBI thanks to bioservices). It also contains more advanced tools related to data analysis...

github.com - AliTV, which provides interactive visualization of whole genome alignments. AliTV reads multiple whole genome alignments or automatically generates alignments from the provided data. Optional feature annotations and phylo- genetic information are...

sourceforge.net - Metassembler combines multiple whole genome de novo assemblies into a combined consensus assembly using the best segments of the individual assemblies. Genome assembly projects typically run multiple algorithms in an attempt to find the single best...

FYI, I've found it useful to use MUMmer to extract the specific changes that Racon makes, so I can evaluate them individually: minimap -t 24 assembly.fasta long_reads.fastq.gz | racon -t 24 long_reads.fastq.gz - assembly.fasta...

bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - The genome sequencing revolution is approaching a landmark figure of 1000 completely sequenced genomes. Coupled with fast-declining, per-base sequencing costs, this influx of DNA sequence data has encouraged laboratory scientists to engage large...
