Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the “non-sexual movement of genetic material between two organisms” , is relatively common in prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes, but a number of factors combine to make it far rarer in...

Dr. Rob Edwards describes some of the problems, challenges, and approches in genome annotation, with a particular emphasis on how the Fellowship for the Interpretation of Genomes (FIG) developed subsystems using the SEED database available at...

cbio.ensmp.fr - Although centromeres are essential for life and are the subject of extensive research, centromere locations in yeast genomes are difficult to infer, and in most species they are still unknown. Recently, the chromatin conformation assay Hi-C has been...

https://fuma.ctglab.nl/ - FUMA is a platform that can be used to annotate, prioritize, visualize and interpret GWAS results. The SNP2GENE function takes GWAS summary statistics as an input, and provides extensive functional annotation for all SNPs in genomic...

When you have both Illumina and Nanopore data, then SPAdes remains a good option for hybrid assembly - SPAdes was used to produce the B fragilis assembly by Mick Watson’s group. Again, running spades.py will show you the...

ftp.genomics.org.cn - An efficient tool called Connecting Overlapped Pair-End (COPE) reads, to connect overlapping pair-end reads using k-mer frequencies. We evaluated our tool on 30× simulated pair-end reads from Arabidopsis thaliana with 1% base error. COPE...
