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...

www.nature.com - Validated a widely accessible approach that can be used to establish functional causality for noncoding sequence variants identified by GWASs. https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3975

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.

China’s BGI says it can sequence a genome for just $100

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...

github.com - Despite marked recent improvements in long-read sequencing technology, the assembly of diploid genomes remains a difficult task. A major obstacle is distinguishing between alternative contigs that represent highly heterozygous regions. If primary...

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...

Lab focus on understanding how organisms adapt to their environments. They combine omics approaches with detailed molecular and phenotypic analyses to get a comprehensive picture of adaptation. Our aim at being internationally recognized as a...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - Install and use the NCBI Datasets command line tools The NCBI Datasets datasets command line tools are datasets and dataformat . Use datasets to download biological sequence data across all domains of life from...

www.weizmann.ac.il - Due to several requests, we are releasing an assingment of orthologs, determined using the same methods used in Hezroni et al. (BLAST, Whole Genome Alignment (WGA), and synteny). One is comparing human GENCODE genes (from GENCODE v30) to lncRNAs...
