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,...

github.com - HiCanu, a significant modification of the Canu assembler designed to leverage the full potential of HiFi reads via homopolymer compression, overlap-based error correction, and aggressive false overlap filtering.  More...

github.com - LRCstats is an open-source pipeline for benchmarking DNA long read correction algorithms for long reads outputted by third generation sequencing technology such as machines produced by Pacific Biosciences. The reads produced by third generation...

www.healthcare.uiowa.edu - Added Command line argument support. Multi-stage execution modes. Support for parallelization. Now execution proceeds in batches of long reads the size of which can be set by --long_read_batch_size N. Better compressed intermediate files. Added...

Scientist Positions Advt. No.RGCB Advt./SCI 2015/1 November 11, 2015 Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) invites applications for the following three faculty scientist positions: Scientist E-II or F in Bioinformatics &...

csb5.github.io - LoFreq* (i.e. LoFreq version 2) is a fast and sensitive variant-caller for inferring SNVs and indels from next-generation sequencing data. It makes full use of base-call qualities and other sources of errors inherent in sequencing (e.g. mapping or...

GATB Library. The Genome Analysis Toolbox with de-Bruijn graph. A large part of tools developed by the GenScale team are based on this library.These methods enable the analysis of data sets of any size on multi-core desktop...

github.com - Flye is a de novo assembler for long and noisy reads, such as those produced by PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies. The algorithm uses an A-Bruijn graph to find the overlaps between reads and does not require them to be error-corrected. After...

academic.oup.com - LoReTTA (Long Read Template-Targeted Assembler), a tool designed for performing de novo assembly of long reads generated from viral genomes on the PacBio platform. LoReTTA exploits a reference genome to guide the assembly process, an approach that...

github.com - Convenient conversions between genome assemblie. The liftover package makes it easy to remap genomic coordinates to a different genome assembly. More at...
