  <description><![CDATA[
<p>Our research group is primarily focused on the analysis of whole genome sequence data to identify genetic variation (primarily structural variation) and examine their potential functional impact in disease phenotypes. We are particularly interested in analyzing complex regions of the genome that are not easily resolved through modern sequencing approaches and which may exhibit interesting mechanistic origins.</p>

<p>We are also interested in the large-scale integration of genomic, expression, methylation and proteomic data sets, as well as the application of whole genome sequence analysis in clinical diagnostics. </p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Pilon is a software tool which can be used to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatically improve draft assemblies</li>
<li>Find variation among strains, including large event detection</li>
</ul>
<p>Pilon requires as input a FASTA file of the genome along with one or more BAM files of reads aligned to the input FASTA file. Pilon uses read alignment analysis to identify inconsistencies between the input genome and the evidence in the reads. It then attempts to make improvements to the input genome, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Single base differences</li>
<li>Small indels</li>
<li>Larger indel or block substitution events</li>
<li>Gap filling</li>
<li>Identification of local misassemblies, including optional opening of new gaps</li>
</ul>

The course will focus on human genomics and human medical applications, but the techniques will be broadly applicable across the tree of life. The topics will include genome assembly &amp; comparative genomics, variant identification &amp; analysis, gene expression &amp; regulation, personal genome analysis, and cancer genomics. The grading will be based on assignments, a midterm exam, class presentations, and a significant class project. There are no formal course prerequisites, although the course will require familiarity with UNIX scripting and/or programming to complete the assignments and course project.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/schatzlab/appliedgenomics" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/schatzlab/appliedgenomics</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>This book is a manifestation of my desire to teach researchers in biology a bit more about statistics than an ordinary introductory course covers and to introduce the utilization of R as a tool for analyzing their data. My goal is to reach those with little or no training in higher level statistics so that they can do more of their own data analysis, communicate more with statisticians, and appreciate the great potential statistics has to offer as a tool to answer biological questions. </p><p>This is necessary in light of the increasing use of higher level statistics in biomedical research. I hope it accomplishes this mission and encourage its free distribution and use as a course text or supplement.</p><p>K Seefeld, May 2007</p>]]></description>

Given multiple extant networks and phylogenetic information relating extant nodes, PARANA finds a parsimonious set of ancestral interaction events (edge gains and losses) which explain the extant networks. The framework adopted by PARANA is able to represent network evolution under models that support gene duplication and loss and independent interaction gain and loss. The method works on both directed and undirected networks and can incorporate asymmetric interaction gain and loss costs. In contrast to previous approaches, PARANA does not require knowing the relative ordering of unrelated duplication events and thus, works on phylogenetic trees even where branch lengths are not provided.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><a href="http://www-labs.iro.umontreal.ca/~mabrouk/" target="_blank" title="To GapAdj official website">GapAdj</a>:&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www-labs.iro.umontreal.ca/~mabrouk/" target="_blank" title="To GapAdj official website">Gapped Adjacencies</a></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>A synteny-based method that is flexible enough to handle a model of evolution involving whole genome duplication events, in addition to rearrangements, gene insertions, and losses. Ancestral relationships between markers are defined in term of Gapped Adjacencies, i.e. pairs of markers separated by up to a given number of markers. It improves on a previous restricted to direct adjacencies, which revealed a high accuracy for adjacency prediction, but with the drawback of being overly conservative, i.e. of generating a large number of contiguous ancestral regions (CARs).</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><a href="http://ancestors.bioinfo.uqam.ca/"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>ANCESTOR</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>A web server allowing one to easily and quickly perform the last three steps of the ancestral genome reconstruction procedure.

ProCARs runs from a phylogeny tree (without branch lengths needed) with a marked ancestor and a block file. This homology-based method is based on iteratively detecting and assembling ancestral adjacencies, while allowing some micro-rearrangements of synteny blocks at the extremities of the progressively assembled CARs. The method starts with a set of blocks as the initial set of CARs, and detects iteratively the potential ancestral adjacencies between extremities of CARs, while building up the CARs progressively by adding, at each step, new non-conflicting adjacencies that induce the less homoplasy phenomenon. The species tree is used, in some additional internal steps, to compute a score for the remaining conflicting adjacencies, and to detect other reliable adjacencies, in order to reach completely assembled ancestral genomes.</p><p><a href="http://fastml.tau.ac.il/" target="_blank" title="To FastML official website"><span>FastML</span></a></p><p>A user-friendly tool for the reconstruction of ancestral sequences. FastML implements various novel features that differentiate it from existing tools: (i) FastML uses an indel-coding method, in which each gap, possibly spanning multiples sites, is coded as binary data. FastML then reconstructs ancestral indel states assuming a continuous time Markov process. FastML provides the most likely ancestral sequences, integrating both indels and characters; (ii) FastML accounts for uncertainty in ancestral states: it provides not only the posterior probabilities for each character and indel at each sequence position, but also a sample of ancestral sequences from this posterior distribution, and a list of the k-most likely ancestral sequences; (iii) FastML implements a large array of evolutionary models, which makes it generic and applicable for nucleotide, protein and codon sequences; and (iv) a graphical representation of the results is provided, including, for example, a graphical logo of the inferred ancestral sequences.</p><p><a href="http://rth.dk/resources/maxAlike/" target="_blank" title="To maxAlike official website"><span>maxAlike</span></a></p><p>Reconstructs a genomic sequence for a specific taxon based on sequence homologs in other species. The input is a multiple sequence alignment and a phylogenetic tree that also contains the target species.

MLGO was designed for analysis of large-scale genomic changes including not only rearrangements but also gene insertions, deletions and duplications. MLGO can be used to infer a phylogeny from genome rearrangement and gene order data, and can also obtain an estimation of ancestral genomes, given an input tree. MLGO takes the advantage of binary encoding on gene-order data, supports a fairly general model of genomic evolution (rearrangements plus duplications, insertions, and losses of genomic regions), and successfully accommodates itself into the framework of maximized likelihood.</p><p>Image Reference : Wiki</p>]]></description>
