5700 year-old human genome !

Jit — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 11:22:18 -0600

A Landmark in genomics, scientists have done something that hasn't been done ever.

Scientists have reconstructed the genome of an ancient human who lived nearly 5,700 years ago in Southern Denmark from the birch pitch- an ancient tar-like substance.

By sequencing the sample, researchers not only discovered the ancient human DNA but also microbial DNA reflecting the oral microbiome of the person who chewed the pitch, along with plant and animal DNA that could be the recent meal she might have consumed.

The DNA sample is comparable in quality to well-preserved teeth and skull bones. The DNA suggests that the chewer was a female, most likely with dark skin, dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Big genomic data on Google Cloud Platform

Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:16:00 -0500

As the cost of DNA sequencing has dropped, the volume of data produced has risen into the petabytes. Google is working with the genomics community to define a standard API for working with big genomic data sets in the cloud. Building on Google Cloud Platform, we show how to store, process, explore and share genomic data using technologies like BigQuery, AppEngine MapReduce, R and more.

HapSolo: An optimization approach for removing secondary haplotigs during diploid genome assembly and scaffolding.

Jit — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:23:36 -0500

Despite marked recent improvements in long-read sequencing technology, the assembly of diploid genomes remains a difficult task. A major obstacle is distinguishing between alternative contigs that represent highly heterozygous regions. If primary and secondary contigs are not properly identified, the primary assembly will overrepresent both the size and complexity of the genome, which complicates downstream analysis such as scaffolding.
