	<description><![CDATA[<p>UpSetR generates static&nbsp;<a href="http://vcg.github.io/upset/">UpSet</a>&nbsp;plots. The UpSet technique visualizes set intersections in a matrix layout and introduces aggregates based on groupings and queries. The matrix layout enables the effective representation of associated data, such as the number of elements in the aggregates and intersections, as well as additional summary statistics derived from subset or element attributes.</p>
<p>For further details about the original technique see the&nbsp;<a href="http://vcg.github.io/upset/about/">UpSet website</a>. You can also check out the&nbsp;<a href="https://gehlenborglab.shinyapps.io/upsetr/">UpSetR shiny app</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/hms-dbmi/UpSetR-shiny">Here is the source code</a>&nbsp;for the shiny wrapper.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>This vignette will introduce users to the retrieval of taxonomic information with&nbsp;<code>myTAI</code>. The&nbsp;<code>taxonomy()</code>&nbsp;function implemented in&nbsp;<code>myTAI</code>&nbsp;relies on the powerful package&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/ropensci/taxize">taxize</a>. Nevertheless, taxonomic information retrieval has been customized for the&nbsp;<code>myTAI</code>&nbsp;standard and for organism specific information retrieval.</p>
<p>Specifically, the&nbsp;<code>taxonomy()</code>&nbsp;function implemented in&nbsp;<code>myTAI</code>&nbsp;can be used to classify genomes according to phylogenetic classification into Phylostrata (Phylostratigraphy) or to retrieve species specific taxonomic information when performing Divergence Stratigraphy (see&nbsp;<a href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/myTAI/vignettes/Introduction.html">Introduction</a>&nbsp;for details).</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/myTAI/vignettes/Taxonomy.html" rel="nofollow">https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/myTAI/vignettes/Taxonomy.html</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><code>dockr</code> 0.8.6 is now available on CRAN. <code>dockr</code> is a minimal toolkit to build a lightweight Docker container image for your R package, in which the package itself is available. The Docker image seeks to mirror your R session as close as possible with respect to R specific dependencies. Both dependencies on CRAN R packages as well as local non-CRAN R packages will be included in the Docker container image.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>GeneMates is an R package implementing a network approach to identify horizontal gene co-transfer (HGcoT) between bacteria using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. It is particularly useful for investigating intra-species HGcoT, where presence-absence status of acquired genes is usually confounded by bacterial population structure due to clonal reproduction.</span></p>

<p>The past decades have transformed the world of statistical data analysis, with new methods, new types of data, and new computational tools. The aim of&nbsp;<em>Modern Statistics with R</em>&nbsp;is to introduce you to key parts of the modern statistical toolkit. It teaches you:</p>
<ul>
<li><span>Data wrangling</span>&nbsp;- importing, formatting, reshaping, merging, and filtering data in R.</li>
<li><span>Exploratory data analysis</span>&nbsp;- using visualisations and multivariate techniques to explore datasets.</li>
<li><span>Statistical inference</span>&nbsp;- modern methods for testing hypotheses and computing confidence intervals.</li>
<li><span>Predictive modelling</span>&nbsp;- regression models and machine learning methods for prediction, classification, and forecasting.</li>
<li><span>Simulation</span>&nbsp;- using simulation techniques for sample size computations and evaluations of statistical methods.</li>
<li><span>Ethics in statistics</span>&nbsp;- ethical issues and good statistical practice.</li>
<li><span>R programming</span>&nbsp;- writing code that is fast, readable, and (hopefully!) free from bugs.</li>
</ul>
<p>The book includes plenty of examples and more than 200 exercises with worked solutions.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.modernstatisticswithr.com/data.zip">The datasets used for the examples and the exercises can be downloaded here.</a></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://www.modernstatisticswithr.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.modernstatisticswithr.com/</a></p>]]></description>

<p>Evolutionary Dynamics and Population Genetics</p>

<p>Natural selection and other evolutionary forces lead to particular patterns of evolutionary dynamics, and they leave characteristic signatures on the genetic variation within populations.  We use a combination of theory and experiments to study the dynamics and population genetics of natural selection in asexual populations such as microbes and viruses. </p>

<p>We use both theory and experiments to study evolutionary dynamics and population genetics, particularly in situations where natural selection is pervasive.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Scalpel]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>A team from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has released an algorithm, called Scalpel, for finding insertions and deletions in next generation sequencing data sets. Scalpel, which is open source and <a href="http://scalpel.sourceforge.net/" title="available for download">available for download</a> on SourceForge,&nbsp;<span>outperformed the popular tools GATK HaplotypeCaller and SOAPindel in test runs on both simulated and real whole human exomes.</span></p><p>Like other indel callers, Scalpel works by performing <em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembly of regions of interest, so that misalignment to the reference genome cannot obscure the presence of an insertion or deletion. Scalpel's innovation is to repeatedly check its assembly before comparing to the reference genome, to account for simple sequence repeats that are a regular source of error in indel calling. When Scalpel assembles an exon, it collects reads that map to that exon (including partial matches), splits them into k-mers, and creates a de Bruijn graph to span the exon; however, if it detects repeats in the map, it iteratively increases the size of the k-mers by one base until the repeats are eliminated. This ensures that the final assembly of the exon is highly accurate while minimizing compute time.</p><p>The Cold Spring Harbor team's validation of Scalpel, <a href="http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmeth.3069.html" title="published over the weekend in Nature Methods">published over the weekend in <em>Nature Methods</em></a>, compares Scalpel's performance on a live whole exome against HaplotypeCaller and SOAPindel. The donor is an individual with serious neurological disorders, which may be linked to a high incidence of indels. One thousand indels from this individual's exome, called by one or more of the informatics pipelines, were selected for focused resequencing. This resequencing revealed a 77% true positive rate for Scalpel calls, dramatically better than the rates for either of the competing tools; Scalpel performed especially well with indels longer than five base pairs, a traditional weak point for indel callers.</p><p>Finally, the authors demonstrate Scalpel's use on a large set of genetic data from nearly 600 families who donated samples to the Simons Simplex Collection, a project of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative. Scalpel found a very high enrichment for indels in children affected by autism, compared with their unaffected siblings, a pattern that persisted even after excluding common variants.</p>]]></description>
