www.encodeproject.org - The ENCODE project uses Reference Genomes from NCBI or UCSC to provide a consistent framework for mapping high-throughput sequencing data. In general, ENCODE data are mapped consistently to 2 human (GRCH38, hg19) and 2 mouse...

www.fish-evol.com - MCMCTREE is a phylogenetic program for Bayesian estimation of species divergence times using soft fossil constraints under various molecular clock models. This is part of the PAML package. In this tutorial I will analyze an easy...

github.com - SRBreak is a read-depth and split-read package written in R for identifying copy-number variants in next-generation sequencing datasets. Note: SBReak was designed to work for multiple samples. It can work for >= 2 samples, but we suggest that...

http://mojolicious.org/ - Back in the early days of the web, many people learned Perl because of a wonderful Perl library called CGI. It was simple enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going, learning by doing was...

github.com - ChIP-seq simulation pipeline, ChIPulate, we assess the impact of various biological and experimental sources of variation on several outcomes of a ChIP-seq experiment, viz., the recoverability of the TF binding motif, accuracy of TF-DNA binding...

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,...

There was a lot of buzz about Oxford Nanopore Technologies® is developing the GridION™ system and miniaturised MinION™ device. These are a new generation of electronic molecular analysis system for use in scientific research,...

World’s first $1,000 genome enables ‘factory’ scale sequencing for population and disease studies

With the emergence of NGS technologies, and sequencing data most of the bioinformaticians mung and wrangle around massive amounts of genomics text. There are several "standardized" file formats (FASTQ, SAM, VCF, etc.) and some tools for manipulating...
