AlignQC: A tool for assessing an alignment, and generating reports that are easy to share

Jit — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 04:41:07 -0500

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 compatible xhtml to visualize/share/store/extract analysis results.

BioCircos.js is an open source interactive Javascript library to interactive display biological data on the web

Jit — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 15:03:51 -0600

BioCircos.js is an open source interactive Javascript library which provides an easy way to interactive display biological data on the web. It implements a raster-based SVG visualization using the open source Javascript framework jquery.js. BioCircos.js is multiplatform and works in all major internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera). Its speed is determined by the client’s hardware and internet browser. For smoothest user experience, we recommend Google Chrome.

BioCircos.js provides SNP, CNV, HEATMAP, LINK, LINE, SCATTER, ARC, TEXT, and HISTGRAMmodules to display genome-wide genetic variations (SNPs, CNVs and chromosome rearrangement), gene expression and biomolecule interactions. BioCircos.js also provides BACKGROUND module to display background and axis circles. Tooltips showing detailed information of SVG elements are also provided.

Ventoy: an open source tool to create bootable USB drive

LEGE — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 10:16:19 -0500

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot it. You can copy many image files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way. Both MBR and GPT partition style are supported in the same way. Most type of OS supported(Windows/WinPE/Linux/Unix/Vmware/Xen...) 700+ ISO files are tested.

1000 Genomes Chile Project

LEGE — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 01:24:13 -0500

Welcome to Chile Sequence to Chile: A Genomic Exploration Project for the Future Genomics, the science that deciphers the complexity of DNA, immerses us in the world of life at its most basic level. On this journey into the depths of genetic information, we find the 1000 Genomes Chile Project, an initiative that seeks to explore and understand the genetic wealth of our country.

Deciphering Life at the Molecular Level DNA sequencing is the key that opens the door to invaluable knowledge. By understanding the genes that make up Chilean species, we unravel the secrets of their evolution, their resistance and their adaptation to the environment. In a world where biodiversity faces constant threats, sequencing becomes crucial for the conservation and understanding of our natural heritage.

Involving Everyone: A Nationwide Effort The 1000 Genomes Chile Project is not just a task for scientists. It is a country-wide effort that seeks the participation of everyone: from citizens to the government to the private sector. We believe in the importance of sharing knowledge, involving society in the selection of species to sequence, in monitoring progress and in applying the results to preserve our environment.
