github.com - Minda is a tool for evaluating structural variant (SV) callers that standardizes VCF records for compatibility with both germline and somatic SV callers, benchmarks against a single VCF input file, or benchmarks against an ensemble call set...

Vienna Biocenter are seeking two postdoctoral researchers to join our team and work on the ERC funded project "METASCALE: Modes of genome evolution during major metazoan transitions". The task of both positions will be to study co-evolutionary...

The genome of 130 mammals was sequenced by a large international consortium and the data was analyzed together with 110 existing genomes to allow scientists to identify the important positions in the DNA.

github.com - If you planning on conducting a study involving dozens of large genomes, then you do not have to run all pairwise synteny alignments .. simply try kraken: A universal genomic coordinate translator for comparative genomics

github.com - Determine the accuracy of our model by comparing the precision and recall of GATK Unified Genotyper and Haplotype Caller on the high-confidence SNPs of the NIST Ashkenazim trio and the two independent Platinum Genome trios. We show that our method...

github.com - gggenomes is a versatile graphics package for comparative genomics. It extends the popular R visualization packageggplot2 by adding dedicated plot functions for genes, syntenic regions, etc. and verbs to manipulate the plot to, for example,...

The laboratory works on genome sequencing, immunoproteogenomics, antibiotics sequencing, and comparative genomics - computational technologies that enabled new applications and allowed scientists to attack biological problems that remained beyond...

Only 4.4 percent DNA difference between Tiger and house cats

When you have both Illumina and Nanopore data, then SPAdes remains a good option for hybrid assembly - SPAdes was used to produce the B fragilis assembly by Mick Watson’s group. Again, running spades.py will show you the...

RAST – Web tool (upload contigs), uses the subsystems in the SEED database and provides detailed annotation and pathway analysis. Takes several hours per genome but I think this is the best way to get a high quality annotation...
