yimingyu.shinyapps.io - shinyChromosome is a graphical user interface for interactive creation of non-circular whole genome diagrams developed using the R Shiny package.
To create single-genome plot by aligning genome data along all chromosomes of a single genome, go to...
Benefits for the participants
- Plan more efficient experiments
- Correctly interpret results
- Communicate results in publications more effectively
The course focus is on methodologies, not on particular software tools. After the course...
github.com - Often, genome assembly projects have illumina whole genome sequencing reads available for the assembled individual. The k-mer spectrum of this read set can be used for independently evaluating assembly quality without the need of a high quality...
In a lot of my work in bioinformatics, I have been using hidden Markov models (HMMs). As a postdoc with David Haussler at UCSC we developed the so-called profile HMMs (refs). Since then I have applied HMMs to membrane proteins (refs) and gene...
github.com - InfoGenomeR is the Integrative Framework for Genome Reconstruction that uses a breakpoint graph to model the connectivity among genomic segments at the genome-wide scale. InfoGenomeR integrates cancer purity and ploidy, total CNAs, allele-specific...
