BINC Sample Question Paper !!!

BINC sample question paper round TWO.

Perl One liner basics !!

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 24 May 2015 09:28:33 -0500

Perl has a ton of command line switches (see perldoc perlrun), but I'm just going to cover the ones you'll commonly need to debug code. The most important switch is -e, for execute (or maybe "engage" :) ). The -e switch takes a quoted string of Perl code and executes it. For example:

$ perl -e 'print "Hello, World!\n"'
Hello, World!

It's important that you use single-quotes to quote the code for -e. This usually means you can't use single-quotes within the one liner code. If you're using Windows cmd.exe or PowerShell, you must use double-quotes instead.

I'm always forgetting what Perl's predefined special variables do, and often test them at the command line with a one liner to see what they contain. For instance do you remember what $^O is?

$ perl -e 'print "$^O\n"'
linux

It's the operating system name. With that cleared up, let's see what else we can do. If you're using a relatively new Perl (5.10.0 or higher) you can use the -E switch instead of -e. This turns on some of Perl's newer features, like say, which prints a string and appends a newline to it. This saves typing and makes the code cleaner:

$ perl -E 'say "$^O"'
linux

Pretty handy! say is a nifty feature that you'll use again and again.

BioScripts

Rahul Nayak — Sun, 28 Jun 2015 07:46:14 -0500

You are requested to please bookmark collection of bioinformatics tools, scripts, codes that can be pieced together in a very easy and flexible manner to perform both simple and complex bioinformatics tasks.

The next-generation sequencing included whole genome sequencing(WGS), transcriptome sequencing (whole cDNA sequencing, RNA-seq), digital gene expression sequencing (Tag-Seq), ChIP-Seq, and so on. And there are many sequencing platform to generate sequece, as well know Sanger/ABi(the frist generation), Solexa/illumina, SOLiD/ABi, 454/Roche. But thier sequence format is different, also they have different error type. High quality data is very important for further analysis or data mining. There are many pipeline for raw sequence quality analysis and control with few of process for reporting reads quality statistical details, trimming, filtering, and error correction. Please bookmarks them for the benefits of bioinformatics community.

SEX-DETector: A Probabilistic Approach to Study Sex Chromosomes in Non-Model Organisms

Surabhi Chaudhary — Wed, 30 May 2018 15:57:31 -0500

SEX-DETector is a probabilistic method that relies on RNAseq data from a cross (parents and progeny of each sex) to infer autosomal and sex-linked genes (genes located on the non recombining part of sex chromosomes).

How does SEX-DETector work?

SEX-DETector does not require prior sequencing of a reference genome: the same sequencing data can be used for the assembly and for the mapping of the reads. A full documentation on the pipeline can be found here.

we recommend Trinity for the assembly.
Trinity components should be merged with cap3. Our code to perform the merging is available here.
We recommend BWA for mapping of the reads.
When the mapping has been perfomed, the individuals need to be genotyped; SEX-DETector takes files produced by Reads2snp (which is available for download on the PopPhyl website) as input.

Choosing the Right NGS Sequencing Instrument for Your Study

Neel — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 00:37:29 -0500

The right sequencing instrument for your study depends on your project goal. Setting aside turnaround time and price, it essentially comes down to the numbers of reads and read length you need for your experiment. Below, we've described and compared metrics for each of the instruments available. If you’re new to high-throughput sequencing and have questions about how you should design your sequencing run, fill out our free consultation form and we'll get in touch with you to help.

Des Higgins: Visualizing Multiple Sequence Alignments

Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:50:08 -0600

Copyright Broad Institute, 2013. All rights reserved. Des Higgins (http://www.bioinf.ucd.ie) gives a very entertaining introduction to the visualization of multiple sequence alignment, and to his widely-used Clustal tool. He highlights the emerging challenge of managing alignments with a very large number of sequences, and presents several approaches to this challenge, including faster algorithms and abstract views of clusters of alignments. This talk was presented at VIZBI 2011, an international conference series on visualizing biological data (http://www.vizbi.org) funded by NIH & EMBO.
