Structural variation caller tools using long reads

journals.plos.org - Illumina Sequencing data can provide high coverage of a genome by relatively short (most often 100 bp to 150 bp) reads at a low cost. Even with low (advertised 1%) error rate, 100 × coverage Illumina data on average has an error in some read...

github.com - HECIL—Hybrid Error Correction with Iterative Learning—a hybrid error correction framework that determines a correction policy for erroneous long reads, based on optimal combinations of decision weights obtained from short read...

In this protocol, we address and describe the de novo assembly method for small to medium-sized genomes.

NGS quality control and trimming are essential steps to ensure reliable and accurate data for analysis. While the "ifs" highlight the clear benefits of these steps, the "buts" remind us of the potential pitfalls. By adopting best practices and...

blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - ElasticBLAST is a new way to BLAST large numbers of queries, faster and on the cloud. Here are the top three reasons you should use ElasticBLAST: 1. ElasticBLAST can handle much LARGER queries!  ElasticBLAST can search query...

Detecting piRNAs involves a combination of computational and analytical methods to identify these unique small RNAs and their roles in gene regulation and transposable element suppression. By following this step-by-step guide, you can confidently...
