	<description><![CDATA[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 closure. We demonstrate with sequencing data from various organisms that the gap-closing accuracy of GMcloser is 3–100-fold higher than those of other available tools, with similar efficiency.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>GraphMap is a novel mapper targeted at aligning long, error-prone third-generation sequencing data.<br>It is&nbsp;<strong>designed to handle Oxford Nanopore MinION 1d and 2d reads</strong>&nbsp;with very high sensitivity and accuracy, and also presents a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art for PacBio read mappers.</p>
<p>GraphMap was also designed for ease-of-use: the&nbsp;<strong>default parameters</strong>&nbsp;can handle a wide range of read lengths and error profiles, including:&nbsp;<em>Illumina</em>,&nbsp;<em>PacBio</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Oxford Nanopore</em>.<br>This is an especially important feature for technologies where the error rates and error profiles can vary widely across, or even within, sequencing runs.</p>

Advanced options:

                                [default: auto-detect]
</code></pre></div><p>As you can see this is also a &ldquo;pipeline&rdquo; of tools that can be switched on or off. SPAdes takes quite a long time, so for the purposes of this practical, something like this may suffice:</p><div><pre><code>spades.py -t 4 <span>\</span>
          -m 32 <span>\</span>
          -k 31,51,71 <span>\</span>
          --only-assembler <span>\</span>
          -1 miseq.1.fastq -2 miseq.2.fastq <span>\</span>
          --nanopore minion.fastq <span>\</span>
          -o hybrid_assembly
</code></pre></div><p>In turn, these parameters mean</p><ul>
<li>use 4 threads</li>
<li>max memory is 32Gb</li>
<li>use 3 kmer values to build the de bruijn graph(s) - 31, 51 and 71</li>
<li>only run the assembler, not the correction algorithm (for speed)</li>
<li>read 1 and read 2 of the MiSeq data</li>
<li>the nanopore data</li>
<li>put the output in folder &ldquo;hybrid_assembly&rdquo;</li>

	<title><![CDATA[poRe: an R package for the visualization and analysis of nanopore sequencing data]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Motivation:</strong>&nbsp;The Oxford Nanopore MinION device represents a unique sequencing technology. As a mobile sequencing device powered by the USB port of a laptop, the MinION has huge potential applications. To enable these applications, the bioinformatics community will need to design and build a suite of tools specifically for MinION data.</p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong>&nbsp;Here we present poRe, a package for R that enables users to manipulate, organize, summarize and visualize MinION nanopore sequencing data. As a package for R, poRe has been tested on Windows, Linux and MacOSX. Crucially, the Windows version allows users to analyse MinION data on the Windows laptop attached to the device.</p>
<p><strong>Availability and implementation:</strong>&nbsp;poRe is released as a package for R at&nbsp;<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpore/" target="">http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpore/</a>&nbsp;. A tutorial and further information are available at&nbsp;<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/rpore/wiki/Home/" target="">https://sourceforge.net/p/rpore/wiki/Home/</a></p>

  <title><![CDATA[Postdoctoral Researcher in Cancer Systems Biology]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>Postdoctoral Researcher in Cancer Systems Biology<br />Department of Oncology, Old Road Campus Research Building, Roosevelt Drive, Oxford<br />Grade 7: £30,434 - £37,394 with a discretionary range to £40,847 p.a.<br />Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Cancer Systems Biology to join a rapidly developing Bioinformatics Research Core group headed by Dr Anastasia Samsonova. The purpose of the role is to develop and deliver integrative approaches to dissect the complexity of cancer as a genomic disease. The research will focus on development and application of effective strategies for mining and integration of complex human *omics datasets and clinical/phenotypic data in cancer studies.</p>

<p>The role sits at the critical interface between genetics and cancer systems biology, and would suit a candidate who is interested in developing a career at the confluence of Statistics/Data Mining/Machine Learning and Biology. Ideally, you will have experience in development of analytical approaches to high-throughput and multivariate data mining and integration gained through a PhD (or equivalent) in a quantitative subject (eg mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering or computer science).</p>

<p>Experience of statistics and/or machine learning techniques is highly desirable as is evidence of prior experience of developing bioinformatics software and/or analysing complex *omics data sets. You will be able to work as part of a team and independently and deliver results to the required standard and schedule. You should be able to organise and prioritise your own work, as well as have excellent communication skills, both written and oral. The post will involve interactions with collaborators from such diverse fields as applied mathematics, statistics, computer science and medicine.</p>

<p>This is a full-time post, fixed-term until 31 March 2017. For informal enquiries, contact Dr Anastasia Samsonova (bioinformatics@oncology.ox.ac.uk).</p>

<p>All applicants must complete a short application form and upload a CV and supporting statement.</p>

<p>The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 26 January 2015.</p>
