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.

https://genomes.atcc.org/ - The ATCC Genome Portal (AGP, https://genomes.atcc.org/) is a database of authenticated genomes for bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses held in ATCC’s biorepository. It now includes 3,938 assemblies (253% increase) produced under ISO...

piRNAs are the unsung guardians of the genome, safeguarding genetic material from transposable elements and contributing to gene regulation and epigenetic programming. Bioinformatics has opened the floodgates of discovery, unraveling the...

This fusion event is a key evolutionary marker distinguishing humans from other great apes, as humans have 46 chromosomes while chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans possess 48. The fusion occurred through an end-to-end joining of two ancestral...

"Ovine Infinium® HD SNP BeadChip”, a high definition SNP chip for ship genome

github.com - medaka is a tool to create a consensus sequence from nanopore sequencing data. This task is performed using neural networks applied from a pileup of individual sequencing reads against a draft assembly. It outperforms graph-based methods...

github.com - proovread : large-scale high-accuracy PacBio correction through iterative short read consensus outperforms PacBioToCA/LSC in terms of accuracy and contiguity/sensitivity (http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btu392) is easy to...

github.com - HALC, a high throughput algorithm for long read error correction. HALC aligns the long reads to short read contigs from the same species with a relatively low identity requirement so that a long read region can be aligned to at least one contig...
