www.cbcb.umd.edu - Metagenomics sequencing projects collect samples of DNA from uncharacterized environments that may contain hundreds or even thousands of species. One of the main challenges in analyzing a metagenome is phylogenetic classification of raw sequence...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - YAHA, a fast and flexible hash-based aligner. YAHA is as fast and accurate as BWA-SW at finding the single best alignment per query and is dramatically faster and more sensitive than both SSAHA2 and MegaBLAST at finding all possible alignments....

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...

Mapping reads to a reference genome is an essential step in many types of genomic analysis, such as variant calling and gene expression analysis.

How many variants of "omics" techniques presently in use ?

Researchers have uncovered essential information in the fight against drug resistance in worms.

Smaller Exome datasets were found to be worse performer than those from larger datasets (WGS)
