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...

Bacterial comparative genomics, driven by bioinformatics, continues to unravel the complexities of bacterial life. From combating antibiotic resistance to uncovering the secrets of microbial evolution, this interdisciplinary field holds immense...

piRNAs are the unsung guardians of the genome, safeguarding genetic material from transposable elements and contributing to gene regulation and epigenetic programming. Bioinformatics has opened the floodgates of discovery, unraveling the...

List of bioinformatics tools/Software Website References for genome assembly:

https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/ - We developed a prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline, DFAST, that also supports genome submission to public sequence databases. DFAST was originally started as an on-line annotation server, and to date, over 7,000 jobs have been processed since its...

github.com - A comparative genome scaffolding tool based on MUMmer mScaffolder scaffolds a genome using an existing high quality genome as the reference. It aligns the two genomes using nucmer utility from MUMmer and then orders and orients the contigs of the...

github.com - pyGenomeTracks aims to produce high-quality genome browser tracks that are highly customizable. Currently, it is possible to plot: bigwig bed (many options) bedgraph links (represented as arcs) Hi-C matrices (if HiCExplorer is...

During recombination, the precise breakage of each strand, exchange between the strands, and sealing of the resulting recombined molecules happens. The “chromosomal breakpoints” refers to these places where they break.
