BRaVa Browser

Jitendra Narayan — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 10:32:19 -0500

BRaVa Browser is an interactive web tool for exploring rare genetic variant associations. It allows users to search and visualize rare variant association results across genes and traits, making it easier to investigate potential relationships between genetic variation and disease or other phenotypes.

Long read assembly workshop !

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 17:23:18 -0500

This is a tutorial for a workshop on long-read (PacBio) genome assembly.

It demonstrates how to use long PacBio sequencing reads to assemble a bacterial genome, and includes additional steps for circularising, trimming, finding plasmids, and correcting the assembly with short-read Illumina data.

Please comment if you know any other long read addembly tutorial.

Flye: Fast and accurate de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads

BioJoker — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 21:54:55 -0500

Flye is a de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads, such as those produced by PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies. It is designed for a wide range of datasets, from small bacterial projects to large mammalian-scale assemblies. The package represents a complete pipeline: it takes raw PB / ONT reads as input and outputs polished contigs. Flye also includes a special mode for metagenome assembly.

MitoZ: a toolkit for animal mitochondrial genome assembly, annotation and visualization

Jit — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 04:09:15 -0600

MitoZ is a Python3-based toolkit which aims to automatically filter pair-end raw data (fastq files), assemble genome, search for mitogenome sequences from the genome assembly result, annotate mitogenome (genbank file as result), and mitogenome visualization. MitoZ is available from https://github.com/linzhi2013/MitoZ.

The Graveley Lab

Tue, 19 Nov 2013 18:02:48 -0600

Research in the Graveley lab is primarily focused on the regulation of alternative splicing and small RNA mediated gene regulation. These are fascinating and extraordinarily important mechanisms by which genes can be regulated. Our long-term goals are to understand how these processes are regulated at a mechanistic level and to understand the logic of these processes in significant biological settings. To achieve these goals, we strive to think outside the box to creatively attack the problems being addressed using a wide variety of approaches that include biochemistry, genetics, imaging, deep sequencing, large-scale RNAi screening and bioinformatics.

P_RNA_scaffolder: a fast and accurate genome scaffolder using paired-end RNA-sequencing reads

BioStar — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 05:19:06 -0500

P_RNA_scaffolder is a novel scaffolding tool using Pair-end RNA-seq to scaffold genome fragments. The method is suitable for most genomes. The program could utilize Illumina Paired-end RNA-sequencing reads from target speciesies. Our method provides another practical alternative to existing mate-pair_based approaches or other Protein-based approaches (for instance, PEP_scaffolder ) for scaffolding genome sequences. The most important feature of this method is to improve the completeness of gene regions and long-coding gene regions (for instance, circRNA).

HDOCK SERVER

Neel — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 01:54:41 -0500

HDOCK SERVER

Protein-protein and protein-DNA/RNA docking based on a hybrid algorithm of template-based modeling and ab initio free docking.

The HDOCK server distinguishes itself from similar docking servers in its ability to support amino acid sequences as input and a hybrid docking strategy in which experimental information about the protein–protein binding site and small-angle X-ray scattering can be incorporated during the docking and post-docking processes.
