nQuire: A statistical framework for ploidy estimation using NGS short-read data

Jit — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 05:12:19 -0600

nQuire implements a set of commands to estimate ploidy level of individuals from species, where recent polyploidization occurred and intraspecific ploidy variation is observed. Specifically, nQuire uses next-generation sequencing data to distinguish between diploids, triploids and tetraploids, on the basis of frequency distributions at variant sites where only two bases are segregating.

ClinCNV: Detection of copy number changes in Germline/Trio/Somatic contexts in NGS data

Neel — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 23:16:02 -0600

ClinCNV detects CNVs in germline and somatic context in NGS data (targeted and whole-genome). We work in cohorts, so it makes sense to try ClinCNV if you have more than 10 samples (recommended amount - 40 since we estimate variances from the data). By "cohort" we mean samples sequenced with the same enrichment kit with approximately the same depth (ie 1x WGS and 30x WGS better be analysed in separate runs of ClinCNV). Of course it is better if your samples were sequenced within the same sequencing facility.

LoFreq*: A sequence-quality aware, ultra-sensitive variant caller for NGS data

BioStar — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 03:24:22 -0600

LoFreq* (i.e. LoFreq version 2) is a fast and sensitive variant-caller for inferring SNVs and indels from next-generation sequencing data. It makes full use of base-call qualities and other sources of errors inherent in sequencing (e.g. mapping or base/indel alignment uncertainty), which are usually ignored by other methods or only used for filtering.

Job Description

Job Description

The Global Trait Discovery Informatics (GTDI) group located at the DuPont Knowledge Centre (DKC), Hyderabad, India is currently seeking applications for a highly motivated computational biologist. The GTDI group contributes to research programs in plant biotechnology at the DKC as well as across research centers located in DuPont Pioneer, Johnston, Iowa and at the DuPont Experimental Station in Wilmington, Delaware.

We are looking for candidates who have experience in analysis of high-throughput -omics datasets. The researcher will be primarily responsible for analyzing diverse -omics datatypes, such as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics and actively contribute towards building streamlined solutions.

The candidate will be part of a diverse team of experimental biologists, computational biologists and software developers. A critical aspect of this position involves working with global teams across multiple locations and will require effective project coordination and communication skills. This is an exciting opportunity for candidates with strong data driven skills, who want to work at the interface of computational and experimental biology and contribute towards scientific discovery.

Responsibilities

·Integrate and analyze multiple datatypes in the context of experimental observations with a goal towards formulating testable hypothesis.

·Understanding the research questions from experimental biologists and formulate relevant in silico analyses.

·Establish and implement systematic analysis workflows starting from processing of raw data to biological interpretation.

·Critically analyze a wide variety of experimental data with a view to solving the underlying research questions.

·Identify and generate datasets for scientific testing and evaluation of algorithms.

Qualifications

PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, population genetics, complex systems, computer sciences or any relevant physical or mathematical sciences, with experience in analyzing diverse -omics datasets.

FiNGS: Filters for Next Generation Sequencing

Neel — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 01:18:35 -0600

Key features

Filters SNVs from any variant caller to remove false positives
Calculates metrics based on BAM files and provides filtering not possible with other tools
Fully user-configurable filtering (including which filters to use and their thresholds)
Option to use filters identical to ICGC recommendations

FiNGS provides researchers with a tool to reproducibly filter somatic variants that is simple to both deploy and use, with filters and thresholds that are fully configurable by the user. It ingests and emits standard variant call format (VCF) files and will slot into existing sequencing pipelines. It allows users to develop and implement their own filtering strategies and simple sharing of these with others.

FiNGS reliably improves upon the precision of default variant caller outputs and performs better than other tools designed for the same task.

Opportunity for young Bioinformatics Professionals to make a career in the area of Intellectual Property

CSIR has set up a Unit for Research and Development of Information Products (CSIRURDIP) at Pune to work in the area of scientific informatics. One of the major focus areas of research work at CSIR-URDIP is PATENT INFORMATICS. With the increasing applications of Bioinformatics in the areas of life sciences industry such as Agriculture and Health Care (Diagnostics and Drugs), the output of research in these area is being protected by different forms of Intellectual Property rights. Realizing the importance of IP in the Bioinformatics field, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has sanctioned a project on “Development, Facilitation and Harvesting of Bioinformatics related Intellectual Property” at CSIR-URDIP.

The project will involve application of Patent Informatics tools and techniques to Bioinformatics (including creation of patent landscapes, preparation of techno-legal reports of patentability, freedom to operate studies) to help protect IPRs and develop and conduct training programmes on IPRs related to Bioinformatics.

CSIR-URDIP invites applications from young Bioinformatics professionals to work on this emerging area which offers challenging opportunities and attractive career possibilities in future.
