nQuire: a statistical framework for ploidy estimation using next generation sequencing

Jit — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 05:23:59 -0500

nQuire provides a statistical framework to study organisms with intraspecific variation in ploidy. nQuire is likely to be useful in epidemiological studies of pathogens, artificial selection experiments, and for historical or ancient samples where intact nuclei are not preserved. It is implemented as a stand-alone Linux command line tool in the C programming language and is available at https://github.com/clwgg/nQuireunder the MIT license.

ChIPulate: A Python3 framework to simulate read counts in a ChIP-seq experiment

Abhimanyu Singh — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 12:46:47 -0500

ChIP-seq simulation pipeline, ChIPulate, we assess the impact of various biological and experimental sources of variation on several outcomes of a ChIP-seq experiment, viz., the recoverability of the TF binding motif, accuracy of TF-DNA binding detection, the sensitivity of inferred TF-DNA binding strength, and number of replicates needed to confidently infer binding strength.

A Brief Bioinformatics Tutorial

Jit — Wed, 21 May 2014 12:50:09 -0500

This is about how to use a computer to find what is known about a gene of interest and also how to get new insights about it.

The tutorial is divided in three main parts:

In the Sequence part, you will see how to look efficiently for a particular protein sequence, how to blast it against the database of your choice to find homologues, how to perform a multiple alignment of the homologues you've selected and how to edit this alignment.
The Structure part is about molecular visualization, homology modeling and structural domain prediction.
In the Function part, you will be introduced to you 3 useful servers to investigate the function of a protein. i.e. finding interactors, co-expressed genes, see a phylogenetic profile, easily access papers citing your gene etc ...

During all the three parts, we will use the S. cerevisiae VPS36 protein as an example.

UniAligner: a parameter-free framework for fast sequence alignment

Abhi — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 23:36:12 -0600

UniAligner (formerly, TandemAligner) is the first parameter-free algorithm for sequence alignment that introduces a sequence-dependent alignment scoring that automatically changes for any pair of compared sequences. Classical alignment approaches, such as the Smith-Waterman algorithm, that work well for most sequences, fail to construct biologically adequate alignments of extra-long tandem repeats (ETRs), such as human centromeres and immunoglobulin loci. This limitation was overlooked in the previous studies since the sequences of the centromeres and other ETRs across multiple genomes only became available recently.
