github.com - MGSE can harness the power of files generated in genome sequencing projects to predict the genome size. Required are the FASTA file containing a high continuity assembly and a BAM file with all available reads mapped to this assembly. The script...
The main objectives of this Practical Course are to strengthen skills
of PhD students and young researchers in the domain of Bioinformatics
and Genome Data Analyses on the use of advanced fundamental algorithms
and their applications in genome...
github.com - The first and the only pre-alignment filtering algorithm that works efficiently and fast on modern CPU, FPGA, and GPU architectures. SneakySnake greatly (by more than two orders of magnitude) expedites sequence alignment calculation for both short...
github.com - Generate unique k-mers for every contig in a FASTA file.
Unique k-mer is consisted of k-mer keys (i.e. ATCGATCCTTAAGG) that are only presented in one contig, but not presented in any other contigs (for both forward and reverse strands).
This tool...
Open source software is software that can be freely used, changed, and shared (in modified or unmodified form) by anyone. Open source software is made by many people, and distributed under licenses that comply with the Open Source Definition.The...
github.com - Perform Alignment-free k-tuple frequency comparisons from sequences. This can be in the form of two input files (e.g. a reference and a query) or a single file for pairwise comparisons to be made.
For our next PhD Program starting in October 2014 we are looking for exceptionally motivated PhD candidates with a keen interest in genomics and medicine and a strong interest to work in teams.
The 2014 CeMM PhD Program will focus on two thematic...
