The Bioinformatics Centre at BISR has created an infrastructure for providing facilities to the users working in the field of Biological Sciences. The users of Rajasthan, Jaipur in particular, are using facilities available at the Bioinformatics...
gite.lirmm.fr - An error correction method that uses long reads only. The method consists of two phases: first, we use an iterative alignment-free correction method based on de Bruijn graphs with increasing length of k-mers, and second, the corrected reads are...
github.com - Call sviper
~$ ./sviper -s short-reads.bam -l long-reads.bam -r ref.fa -c variants.vcf -o polished_variants
This will output a polished_variants.vcf file, that contains all the refined variants.
Sometimes it is helpful to look at the...
