www.bioconductor.org - The QuasR package (short for Quantify and annotate short reads in R) integrates the functionality of several R packages (such as IRanges (Lawrence et al. 2013) and Rsamtools) and external software (e.g. bowtie, through the Rbowtie package, and...
darlinglab.org - Mauve is a system for constructing multiple genome alignments in the presence of large-scale evolutionary events such as rearrangement and inversion. Multiple genome alignments provide a basis for research into comparative genomics and the study of...
biochem218.stanford.edu - Excellent article to introduce different sequencing methods along with tools for de novo assembly of sequencing reads and their relevant references.
Title: Comparison of Short Read De Novo Alignment Algorithms
Author: Nikhil Gopal
An algorithm is a procedure for solving a problem in terms of the actions to be executed and the order in which those actions are to be executed. An algorithm is merely the sequence of steps taken to solve a problem. The steps are normally...
github.com - MashMap is a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s). It maps a query sequence against a reference region if and only if its estimated alignment identity is above a specified threshold. It...

Upcoming Deadlines
Regular Paper Submission: July 31,...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - RGFA, an implementation of the proposed GFA specification in Ruby. It allows the user to conveniently parse, edit and write GFA files. Complex operations such as the separation of the implicit instances of repeats and the merging of linear paths can...
As part of the PhD program in Computer Science at University of Essex, I am looking for a PhD student in computational and synthetic biology.
The ideal candidate is interested in designing new biological design automation methods for genome scale...
github.com - maftools - An R package to summarize, analyze and visualize MAF files. Introduction.
With advances in Cancer Genomics, Mutation Annotation Format (MAF) is being widley accepted and used to store variants detected. The Cancer Genome Atlas Project...
sourceforge.net - Cerulean extends contigs assembled using short read datasets like Illumina paired-end reads using long reads like PacBio RS long reads.
Cerulean v0.1 has been implemented with bacterial genomes in mind.
The method is fully described in...
