Interactive Market Intelligence

Pranjali Yadav — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 08:20:38 -0600

BioInformatics LLC, a premier research and advisory firm serving the life science industry, has launched groundbreaking, dynamic-data presentation platform, Interactive Market Intelligence— the only cloud-based market research analytics tool for the life science tools industry.

Superior to traditional PDF and PowerPoint reports, Interactive Market Intelligence allows end-users to filter, create and export literally thousands of views of data — all easily obtainable from a set of core metrics that include market, brand, customer and workflow analytics in well-defined segments of the life science market.

The Market for Real-Time PCR is the first in a series of topics to be explored using the Interactive Market Intelligence platform. The primary research analysis is based on a survey of 900+ international scientists performing qPCR in their laboratories.

Key data findings from "The Market for Real-Time PCR": Global market for qPCR in 2015 is estimated to be $3.6B; The average growth in qPCR throughput is expected to be at 9.8% in 2015; 22% of respondents are highly likely to switch primary suppliers of qPCR products; 50% of respondents use pre-designed primer/probe sets.

BamView: a free interactive display of read alignments in BAM data files

Neel — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 13:43:22 -0600

To run the application on UNIX from the downloaded jar file run the UNIX:

java -mx512m -jar BamView.jar

and extra command line options are given when '-h' is used:

java -jar BamView.jar -h

BAM files can be specified on the command line with the '-a' option:

java -mx512m -jar BamView.jar -a pathToFile/sorted.bam

If a BAM filename is not given on the command line BamView will prompt for a file to be entered. The BAM index file should have the same name as the BAM file but with a '.bai' suffix. Multiple BAM files can be loaded and overlaid in the viewer. To make this easier BamView will read in files that contain a list of filenames.

This is the andi program for estimating the evolutionary distance between closely related genomes. These distances can be used to rapidly infer phylogenies for big sets of genomes. Because andi does not compute full alignments, it is so efficient that it scales even up to thousands of bacterial genomes.

This readme covers all necessary instructions for the impatient to get andi up and running. For extensive instructions please consult the manual.

CovCal: Coverage / Read Count Calculator

Jit — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 18:08:13 -0500

Coverage / Read Count Calculator

Calculate how much sequencing you need to hit a target depth of coverage (or vice versa).

Instructions: set the read length/configuration and genome size, then select what you want to calculate.

Written by Stephen Turner, based on the Lander-Waterman formula, inspired by a similar calculator written by James Hadfield. Coverage is calculated as C=LN/G and reads as N=CG/L where C = Coverage (X),L = Read length (bp), G = Haploid genome size (bp), and N = Number of reads. Source code on GitHub.
