To decide which strategy should be our “preferred” genome assembly approach based on data rather than my gut-feeling about the “best assembly” I decided to do some testing with a known “true” reference E Coli K12 MG1655
We are seeking one motivated scientist to analyze genomics and transcriptomics data of a large collection of neuroblastoma tumors. The successful candidate will be part of a team of researchers with extensive expertise in genome cancer study. He/she...
www.breedinginsight.org - Breeding Insight at Cornell University will leverage recent improvements in genomics and open source informatics components, and in partnership with small breeding programs, will enable these programs to harness powerful digital...
If we only had Illumina reads, we could also assemble these using the tool Spades.
You can try this here, or try it later on your own data.

We will use the same Illumina data as we used above:

Always remember there is always a solution to a problem. Most of the times there are at least three solutions. So, don’t just blame, suggest a solution.
As a Bioinformatician/ Computational biologist we swim in the ocean of genomic/proteomics data, and play with them with an ease. In our day to day simulation, analysis, comparative study we do need to run exhaustive programs, which might take more...
The amount of databases we bioinformatician deal are just HUGE … In such cases, we always need to check our server for free spaces etc. I planned this article to explains 2 simple commands that most bioinformatician want to know when they...
