Ongoing research in the group of Karine Van Doninck involves topics at the core of evolutionary biology, including the evolution of sex, genome maintenance, recombination and extreme stress resistance on different eukaryotic systems, including...

Bioinformatics tools

github.com - Perform Alignment-free k-tuple frequency comparisons from sequences. This can be in the form of two input files (e.g. a reference and a query) or a single file for pairwise comparisons to be made.

github.com - Just import the assembly, bam and ALE scores. You can convert the .ale file to a set of .wig files with ale2wiggle.py and IGV can read those directly.  Depending on your genome size you may want to convert the .wig files to the BigWig format.

To find repeats in a genome from 2 to 9 length using a Perl script, you can use the RepeatMasker tool with the "--length" option[0]. Here's a step-by-step guide: Install RepeatMasker: First, you need to install RepeatMasker on your system. You...

Genome assembly is a powerful process that transforms raw sequencing data into a coherent representation of an organism’s genome. By following this step-by-step guide, you can successfully assemble genomes and uncover valuable biological insights....

github.com - HiTE is a Python software that uses a dynamic boundary adjustment approach to detect and annotate full-length Transposable Elements in Genome Assemblies. In comparison to other tools, HiTE demonstrates superior performance in detecting a...

github.com - Python package to detect chromatin loops (and other patterns) in Hi-C contact maps. Stable version with pip: pip3 install --user chromosight Stable version with conda: conda install -c bioconda -c conda-forge chromosight or, if you want...

bioinformaticsworkbook.org - Genetic map, as the name suggest is simply knowing the relative positions of specific sequences across the genome. There are various methods to generate them, but most popular method is to use a cross between the known parents and examining their...
