github.com - KAT is a suite of tools that analyse jellyfish hashes or sequence files (fasta or fastq) using kmer counts. The following tools are currently available in KAT:
hist: Create an histogram of k-mer occurrences from a sequence file. Adds metadata in...
wikis.utexas.edu - The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) from the Broad Center allows you to view several types of data files involved in any NGS analysis that employs a reference genome, including how reads from a dataset are mapped, gene annotations, and predicted...
FYI, I've found it useful to use MUMmer to extract the specific changes that Racon makes, so I can evaluate them individually:
minimap -t 24 assembly.fasta long_reads.fastq.gz | racon -t 24 long_reads.fastq.gz - assembly.fasta...
cosmos.hms.harvard.edu - COSMOS, our Python-based management system for implementing large-scale parallel workflows focusing on, but not restricted to, large-scale short-read "NGS" sequencing data is open-access published via Advance Access in Bioinformatics (Gafni et al....
During recombination, the precise breakage of each strand, exchange between the strands, and sealing of the resulting recombined molecules happens. The “chromosomal breakpoints” refers to these places where they break.
github.com - The goal of the Shasta long read assembler is to rapidly produce accurate assembled sequence using as input DNA reads generated by Oxford Nanopore flow cells.
Computational methods used by the Shasta assembler include:
Using...
pypi.python.org - Orange Bioinformatics extends Orange, a data mining software package, with common functionality for bioinformatics. The provided functionality can be accessed as a Python library or through a visual programming interface (Orange Canvas). The latter...
Google Life Sciences is recruiting a technical lead with experience in bioinformatics and clinical bioinformatics, including for biomarker discovery projects such as the Baseline study.
Responsibilities
Lead teams of scientists in structuring,...
github.com - RagTag is a collection of software tools for scaffolding and improving modern genome assemblies. Tasks include:
Homology-based misassembly correction
Homology-based assembly scaffolding and patching
Scaffold merging
