Job Description: three postdoc positions in computational biology are available at the Center for Genomic Science in Milan (Italy): - Development of computational methods to investigate the interplay between epigenetic and genetic layers and...

Ever since a monk called Mendel started breeding pea plants we've been learning about our genomes. In 1953, Watson, Crick and Franklin described the structure of the molecule that makes up our genomes: the DNA double helix. Then, in 2001, scientists...

The main objectives of this Practical Course are to strengthen skills of PhD students and young researchers in the domain of Bioinformatics and Genome Data Analyses on the use of advanced fundamental algorithms and their applications in genome...

UC Davis's Bart Weimer describes foodborne pathogens and their proclivity for rapid genome rearrangement. The 100K Pathogen Genome Project he leads is using PacBio long-read sequencing to close genomes and analyze methylation; Weimer reports that...

Mitochondrial Genome of a 400,000-Year-Old Hominin from Spain Decoded

The genetic code consists of 64 triplets of nucleotides. These triplets are called codons.With three exceptions, each codon encodes for one of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins. That produces some redundancy in the code: most of...

Open source software is software that can be freely used, changed, and shared (in modified or unmodified form) by anyone. Open source software is made by many people, and distributed under licenses that comply with the Open Source Definition.The...

virology.uvic.ca - Genome Annotation Transfer Utility (GATU) was designed to facilitate quick, efficient annotation of similar genomes using genomes that have already been annotated. For example, whenever a new strain of SARS coronavirus is sequenced, it is possible,...

For our next PhD Program starting in October 2014 we are looking for exceptionally motivated PhD candidates with a keen interest in genomics and medicine and a strong interest to work in teams. The 2014 CeMM PhD Program will focus on two thematic...

www.mdpi.com - REGEN infers evolutionary events, including gene creation and deletion and replicon fission and fusion. The reconstruction can be performed by either a maximum parsimony or a maximum likelihood method. Gene content reconstruction is based on the...
