CLgenomics

Radha Agarkar — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 09:57:28 -0600

CLgenomics is a standalone desktop software specifically designed for bacterial genome analysis. This program has a powerful multi-genome browser, which enables rapid and responsive exploration of bacterial genomes.

To use CLgenomics, individual genome data (genome sequences + annotation details) are compiled and saved in a specially formatted file called CLG (ChunLab Genomics). Each CLG file corresponds with one bacterial genome. If multiple genomes are being considered and compared, multiple CLG files are needed. ChunLab offers >40,000 CLG files of publicly available Bacterial and Archaeal genomes.

MaxBin: software for binning assembled metagenomic sequences based on an Expectation-Maximization algorithm.

Jit — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 04:03:38 -0600

MaxBin is software for binning assembled metagenomic sequences based on an Expectation-Maximization algorithm. Users can understand the underlying bins (genomes) of the microbes in their metagenomes by simply providing assembled metagenomic sequences and the reads coverage information or sequencing reads. For users' convenience MaxBin will report genome-related statistics, including estimated completeness, GC content and genome size in the binning summary page.

Users can use MEGAN or similar software on MaxBin bins to find the taxonomy of each bin after the binning process is finished.

The most recent version of MaxBin is 2.2, which supports the analysis of coassemblies of multiple samples. It is available at this JBEI downloads sites as well as MaxBin and MaxBin 2.0 sourceforge sites.

GroopM: Metagenomic binning toolset

Jit — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 08:59:45 -0600

GroopM is a metagenomic binning toolset. It leverages spatio-temoral
dynamics (differential coverage) to accurately (and almost automatically)
extract population genomes from multi-sample metagenomic datasets.

GroopM is largely parameter-free. Use: groopm -h for more info.

For installation and usage instructions see : http://ecogenomics.github.io/GroopM/

Boku Chair of Bioinformatics

Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:37:23 -0500

The Bioinformatics group at Boku University has two main areas of interest, underpinning a common goal, the study of complex systems in living organisms. To overcome the engineered redundancies and combinatorial effects prevalent in higher eukaryotes, novel views augmenting the classical gene by gene approaches are required. We combine
Work to establish improved quantitative experimental assays (such as microarrays or differential in-gel electrophoresis) and
Development of modern computational methods (such as hierarchical probabilistic models or integration of heterogeneous data sources)

Download assemblies from NCBI

Bulbul — Mon, 15 May 2017 06:02:32 -0500

A new “Download assemblies” button is now available in the Assembly database. This makes it easy to download data for multiple genomes without having to write scripts.

For example, you can run a search in Assembly and use check boxes (see left side of screenshot below) to refine the set of genome assemblies of interest. Then, just open the “Download assemblies” menu, choose the source database (GenBank or RefSeq), choose the file type, and start the download. An archive file will be saved to your computer that can be expanded into a folder containing your selected genome data files.

Bioinformatics Research Scientist @ Oklahoma State University (OSU)

Tue, 17 Aug 2021 13:24:39 -0500

This position is an early career research scientist in the area of Bioinformatics to support research projects involving faculty and staff, at Oklahoma State University (OSU). This is a highly technical position that requires a strong research background in biomedical or life sciences, including a high level of expertise with bioinformatics algorithms, databases, and analyses with a focus on next-generation sequence data. Although most of the projects will deal directly with the analysis of DNA and RNA sequence data the individual should be well versed in other types of data sources as well (i.e., microarrays) and handling of large datasets (using data analytics, machine learning, and deep learning techniques).

Vvek's Lab

Broad Area of Research: RNA biology (microRNA, lncRNA), Stem cells, Functional genomics, Epigenomics and Cancer

RNAs, especially non-coding RNAs (such as microRNA, long ncRNAs) are recently identified to be very abundant in mammalian organisms and play some key roles in gene expression regulation, gene silencing, and also implicated in disease progression, stem cell pluripotency etc. Current research activities of our lab include analysis of expression pattern of ncRNAs by microarray and next-gen sequencing data and understanding the role of miRNAs or other regulatory RNAs in various diseases, especially cancer and validation by reporter assays (renilla/luciferase) and other experimental tools.
