http://mgra.cblab.org/ - MGRA (Multiple Genome Rearrangements and Ancestors) is a tool for reconstruction of ancestor genomes and evolutionary history of extant genomes.
It takes as an input a set of genomes represented as sequences of genes (or synteny blocks) and...
Bioinformatics demands more and ... lots more knowledge. In this case Ravan, a mythological character from the Ramayan, can only be a real bioinformatician. :) :P
http://genomeribbon.com/ - Ribbon can be used for long reads, short reads, paired-end reads, and assembly/genome alignments. Instructions for each data format are available by clicking on "instructions" in each tab on the right.

bib.oxfordjournals.org - Among life scientists, from clinicians to environmental researchers, a common theme is the need not just to use, and gain familiarity with, bioinformatics tools and resources but also to understand their underlying fundamental theoretical and...
github.com - Mash is normally distributed as a dependency-free binary for Linux or OSX (see https://github.com/marbl/Mash/releases). This source distribution is intended for other operating systems or for development. Mash requires c++11 to build, which is...
Bio-IT World and Cambridge Healthtech Institute's fifth international Clinical Genomics & Informatics Europe conference will feature four main tracks on Clinical Exome Sequencing, High Scale Computing, Genome Informatics, and RNA-Seq and...
mummer4.github.io - MUMmer4, a substantially improved version of MUMmer that addresses genome size constraints by changing the 32-bit suffix tree data structure at the core of MUMmer to a 48-bit suffix array, and that offers improved speed through parallel processing...
sourceforge.net - Metassembler combines multiple whole genome de novo assemblies into a combined consensus assembly using the best segments of the individual assemblies.
Genome assembly projects typically run multiple algorithms in an attempt to find the single best...
George Chao is an undergraduate senior studying Genetics and Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. Having started genetics research as soon as he entered the university, he has worked in labs spanning multiple disciplines as well as in...
