With most inherited diseases, only some family members will develop the disease, while others who carry the same genetic risks dodge it. Stephen Friend suggests we start studying those family members who stay healthy. Hear about the Resilience Project, a massive effort to collect genetic materials that may help decode inherited disorders.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>MECAT is an ultra-fast Mapping, Error Correction and de novo Assembly Tools for single molecula sequencing (SMRT) reads. MECAT employs novel alignment and error correction algorithms that are much more efficient than the state of art of aligners and error correction tools. MECAT can be used for effectively de novo assemblying large genomes. For example, on a 32-thread computer with 2.0 GHz CPU , MECAT takes 9.5 days to assemble a human genome based on 54x SMRT data, which is 40 times faster than the current&nbsp;<a href="http://cbcb.umd.edu/software/pbcr/mhap/">PBcR-Mhap pipeline</a>. MECAT performance were compared with&nbsp;<a href="http://cbcb.umd.edu/software/pbcr/mhap/">PBcR-Mhap pipeline</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/falcon">FALCON</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://canu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">Canu(v1.3)</a>&nbsp;in five real datasets. The quality of assembled contigs produced by MECAT is the same or better than that of the&nbsp;<a href="http://cbcb.umd.edu/software/pbcr/mhap/">PBcR-Mhap pipeline</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/falcon">FALCON</a>.&nbsp;</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>QUAST-LG-a tool that compares large genomic de novo assemblies against reference sequences and computes relevant quality metrics. Since genomes generally cannot be reconstructed completely due to complex repeat patterns and low coverage regions, we introduce a concept of upper bound assembly for a given genome and set of reads, and compute theoretical limits on assembly correctness and completeness. Using QUAST-LG, we show how close the assemblies are to the theoretical optimum, and how far this optimum is from the finished reference.</p>
