The goal of the lab is to understand mammalian genomes using comparative genomic and epigenomic analyses. Areas of interest include: the evolution of regulatory sequences, the role of transposable elements in gene regulation and the impact of genome...
github.com - A JavaScript module for the visualization of genomic sequence graphs. It automatically generates a "tube map"-like visualization of sequence graphs which have been created with vg. (https://github.com/vgteam/vg)

github.com - sourmash is a k-mer analysis multitool, and we aim to provide stable, robust programmatic and command-line APIs for a variety of sequence comparisons. Some of our special sauce includes:
FracMinHash sketching, which enables accurate...
academic.oup.com - RAMI, which clusters related nodes in a phylogenetic tree based on the patristic distance. RAMI also produces indices of cluster properties and other indices used in population and community studies on-the-fly.
Availability: RAMI is licensed...
github.com - PyParanoid is a pipeline for rapid identification of homologous gene families in a set of genomes - a central task of any comparative genomics analysis. The "gold standard" for identifying homologs is to use reciprocal best hits (RBHs) which depends...
github.com - bacLIFE is a streamlined computational workflow that annotates bacterial genomes and performs large-scale comparative genomics to predict bacterial lifestyles and to pinpoint candidate genes, denominated lifestyle-associated genes (LAGs), and...
github.com - This software is designed to identify both simple and complex rearrangements from paired-end sequencing data. Users could ran it easily by just alling SVelter.py with proper parameters. It's also possible to ran it on multiple cores by...
darlinglab.org - Mauve is a system for constructing multiple genome alignments in the presence of large-scale evolutionary events such as rearrangement and inversion. Multiple genome alignments provide a basis for research into comparative genomics and the study of...
github.com - GRSR is a Tool for Deriving Genome Rearrangement Scenarios for Multiple Uni-chromosomal Genomes. This tool will do the following steps:
Step 1. Run mugsy to get multiple sequence alignment results.
Step 2 & 3. Extraction of the Coordinates...
Mike Ritchie Lab primary research focus is the detection of susceptibility genes for common diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, among others. The approaches will involve the development and application of new...
