When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program.

github.com - LTR_Finder is an efficient program for finding full-length LTR retrotranspsons in genome sequences. The Program first constructs all exact match pairs by a suffix-array based algorithm and extends them to long highly similar pairs. Then...

GrapheR: A GUI for base graphics in R

Scientists have reconstructed the genome of an ancient human who lived nearly 5,700 years ago in Southern Denmark from the birch pitch- an ancient tar-like substance.

pybedtools is a Python wrapper for Aaron Quinlan's BEDtools programs

github.com - genome simulation across a population with zeta-distributed allele frequency, snps, insertions, deletions, and multi-nucleotide polymorphisms More at https://github.com/ekg/mutatrix ./mutatrix -S sample -P test/ -p 2 -n 10 reference.fasta

Research in our group focuses on the investigation of the signals involved in gene specification in genomic sequences (promoter elements, splice sites, translation initiation sites, etc…). We are interested both in the mechanism of their recognition...
