SIMBA: a web tool for managing bacterial genome assembly generated by Ion PGM sequencing technology

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 23 May 2017 05:28:56 -0500

SIMBA, SImple Manager for Bacterial Assemblies, is a Web interface for managing assembly projects of bacterial genomes. SIMBA was created to assist bioinformaticians to assemble bacterial genomes sequenced with NextGeneration Sequencing (NGS) platforms quickly, easily and effectively. SIMBA also is open source tool, i.e., can be freely downloaded, shared and modified.

MetaSim A Sequencing Simulator for Genomics and Metagenomics.

Jit — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 07:18:20 -0600

Our software can be used to generate collections of synthetic reads that reflect the diverse taxonomical composition of typical metagenome data sets. Based on a database of given genomes, the program allows the user to design a metagenome by specifying the number of genomes present at different levels of the NCBI taxonomy, and then to collect reads from the metagenome using a simulation of a number of different sequencing technologies. A population sampler optionally produces evolved sequences based on source genomes and a given evolutionary tree.

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.

New born babies get ready to know their whole genome soon!!!

Rahul Agarwal — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 07:24:02 -0500

USA launch a pilot projects to examine medical information of newborn baby, which are being funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), both parts of the National Institutes of Health.

Awards of $5 million to four grantees have been made in fiscal year 2013 under the Genomic Sequencing and Newborn Screening Disorders research program. The program will be funded at $25 million over five years, as funds are made available.

"Hundreds of US babies will be pioneers in genomic medicine through a US$25-million programme to sequence their genomes soon after they are born."
