2 positions on the evolutionary analysis of biological sequences in Montpellier - France

Mon, 28 Sep 2015 08:25:48 -0500

The Methods and Algorithms for Bioinformatics (MAB) team at the LIRMM (computer science, robotics and microelectronics laboratory at the CNRS & University of Montpellier, France) is looking for talented individuals to fill two postdoctoral positions. We are seeking candidates with a strong background in computational evolutionary biology. The positions will start by the end of 2015.

The first of the positions (duration: 18-24 months), associated with the European VIROGENESIS project (http://www.kuleuven.be/english/research/EU/p/horizon2020/sc/sc1/Virogenesis), concerns the evolutionary analysis of viral sequences. Topics include -- but are not limited to -- phylogenetic classification of metagenomic reads and the recombination history of viruses.

The second position (duration: 1 year), associated with the Institute for Computational Biology (IBC, http://www.ibc-montpellier.fr), concerns evolutionary analyses of large-scale genomic data -- including the inference of very large phylogenies, gene/species tree reconciliation, comparative genomics, phylogenetic network inference and verification, phylogeography, the use of phylogenies to study the evolution of characters.

A one thousand year old city, Montpellier is a thriving research community with a multitude of biology and biomedical research centers. It is the fastest growing city in France where approximately one third of the population are students, and a wonderful location for outdoor activities (kite/wind surfing, sailing, river/sea kayaking, hiking and rock climbing). The LIRMM is one of the most visible computer science laboratories in France.

FinisherSC:a repeat-aware tool for upgrading de novo assembly using long reads

Jit — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 04:08:50 -0500

Here is the command to run the tool:

python finisherSC.py destinedFolder mummerPath

If you are running on server computer and would like to use multiple threads, then the following commands can generate 20 threads to run FinisherSC.

python finisherSC.py -par 20 destinedFolder mummerPath

Sometimes, if the names of raw reads and contigs consists of special characters/formats, FinisherSC/MUMmer may not parse them correctly. In that case, you want to have a quick renaming of the names of contigs/reads in contigs.fasta or raw_reads.fasta using the following command.

    perl -pe 's/>[^\$]*$/">Seg" . ++$n ."\n"/ge' raw_reads.fasta > newRaw_reads.fasta
    cp newRaw_reads.fasta raw_reads.fasta
    perl -pe 's/>[^\$]*$/">Seg" . ++$n ."\n"/ge' contigs.fasta > newContigs.fasta
    cp newContigs.fasta contigs.fasta
