www.healthcare.uiowa.edu - Long read alignment analysis. Generate a reports on sequence alignments for mappability vs read sizes, error patterns, annotations and rarefraction curve analysis. The most basic analysis only requires a BAM file, and outputs a web browser...

msaprobs.sourceforge.net - MSAProbs is a well-established state-of-the-art multiple sequence alignment algorithm for protein sequences. The design of MSAProbs is based on a combination of pair hidden Markov models and partition functions to calculate posterior...

github.com - Variation graphs provide a succinct encoding of the sequences of many genomes. A variation graph (in particular as implemented in vg) is composed of: nodes, which are labeled by sequences and ids edges, which connect two nodes via either of...

github.com - UniAligner (formerly, TandemAligner) is the first parameter-free algorithm for sequence alignment that introduces a sequence-dependent alignment scoring that automatically changes for any pair of compared sequences. Classical alignment approaches,...

compbio.case.edu - Seal is a comprehensive sequencing simulation and alignment tool evaluation suite. This software (implemented in Java) provides several utilities that can be used to evaluate alignment algorithms, including: Reading a pre-existing reference...

Interested in various topics at the intersection of ecology and evolution. In my research I use rotifers as model organisms for experimental studies at the individual and population level. Rotifers are ideally suited for this, because populations of...

Mitochondrial Genome of a 400,000-Year-Old Hominin from Spain Decoded

EVOLUTIONARY AND INTEGRATIVE CELL BIOLOGY Our research is at the crossroad between cell biology, ecological genomics, systems biology, molecular evolution and population genetics. We study the architecture and evolution of protein and signalling...

Evolutionary genomics of social insects. Extensive theoretical work has explained how and why complex societies evolve. However, only little is known about the genes and molecular mechanisms responsible for social phenotypes. We have been...
