The central goal of the Earth BioGenome Project is to understand the evolution and organization of life on our planet by sequencing and functionally annotating the genomes of 1.5 million known species of eukaryotes

academic.oup.com - GMcloser uses likelihood-based classifiers calculated from the alignment statistics between scaffolds, contigs and paired-end reads to correctly assign contigs or long reads to gap regions of scaffolds, thereby achieving accurate and efficient gap...

Young computational biologist named Yaniv Erlich shocked the research world by showing it was possible to unmask the identities of people listed in anonymous genetic databases using only an Internet connection

bitbucket.org - Given the potential relevance of efficient haplotyping in several analysis pipelines, we have designed and engineered pWhatsHap, a parallel, high-performance version of WhatsHap. pWhatsHap is embedded in a toolkit developed in...

www.biostars.org - MAKER is a great tool for annotating a reference genome using empirical and ab initiogene predictions. GMOD, the umbrella organization that includes MAKER, has some nice tutorials online for running MAKER. However, these were quite...

amos.sourceforge.net - We present the first collection of tools aimed at automated genome assembly validation. This work formalizes several mechanisms for detecting mis-assemblies, and describes their implementation in our automated validation pipeline,...

geval.sanger.ac.uk - The gEVAL Browser allows the evaluation of genome assemblies through its tools and pre-computed analyses. The strength of this browser is the ability to navigate an up to date assembly and identify problematic regions and assist in...

www.melbournebioinformatics.org.au - Written and maintained by Simon Gladman - Melbourne Bioinformatics (formerly VLSCI) Protocol Overview / Introduction In this protocol we discuss and outline the process of de novo assembly for small to medium sized...

My main topics of interest are: The impact of non tree-like evolution such as horizontal gene transfers and hybridization on species biology Evolution and adaptation of animals in the absence of sexual reproduction and the underlying...
