Applied Statistics for Bioinformatics using R

Neel — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 03:45:39 -0500

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction into statistics in order to solve some problems of bioinformatics. Statistics provides procedures to explore and visualize data as well as to test biological hypotheses. The book intends to be introductory in explaining and programming elementary statistical concepts, thereby bridging the gap between high school levels and the specialized statistical literature

chromoMap-An R package for Interactive Visualization and Annotation of Chromosomes

Jit — Sat, 07 Sep 2019 10:45:31 -0500

chromoMap provides interactive, configurable and elegant graphics visualization of chromosomes or chromosomal regions allowing users to map chromosome elements (like genes,SNPs etc.) on the chromosome plot.Each chromosome is composed of loci(representing a specific range determined based on chromosome length) that, on hover, shows details about the annotations in that locus range. The plots can be saved as HTML documents that can be shared easily. In addition, you can include them in R Markdown or in R Shiny applications.

Some of the prominent features of the package are:

visualizing polyploidy simultaneously on the same plot.
annotating groups of elements as distinct colors.
creating chromosome heatmaps.
adjusting chromosome range or visualizing chromosome regions such as genes
adding labels to the plot
adding hyperlinks to each element

Github replacement !

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 03:42:39 -0500

For a number of reasons researchers have been trying out GitLab as a replacement for for both GitHub and various continuous integration systems, and have been exploring configurations useful for model-fitting pipelines. Researchers turned one of these into an example repository that shows how to use GitLab together with the Rocker Docker images and the drake build system to reproducibly run a project pipeline, using the cacheing functionality across all three tools to make things reasonably speedy and enable both local and remote builds.

CRBHits: From Conditional Reciprocal Best Hits to Codon Alignments and Ka/Ks in R

Shruti Paniwala — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 23:06:03 -0600

CRBHits is a coding sequence (CDS) analysis pipeline in R (R Core Team, 2019). It reimplements the Conditional Reciprocal Best Hit (CRBH) algorithm crb-blast and covers all necessary steps from sequence similarity searches, codon alignments to Ka/Ks calculations and synteny. The new R package targets ecology, population and evolutionary biologists working in the field of comparative genomics.

BINC Sample Question Paper !!!

Perl One liner basics !!

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 24 May 2015 09:28:33 -0500

Perl has a ton of command line switches (see perldoc perlrun), but I'm just going to cover the ones you'll commonly need to debug code. The most important switch is -e, for execute (or maybe "engage" :) ). The -e switch takes a quoted string of Perl code and executes it. For example:

$ perl -e 'print "Hello, World!\n"'
Hello, World!

It's important that you use single-quotes to quote the code for -e. This usually means you can't use single-quotes within the one liner code. If you're using Windows cmd.exe or PowerShell, you must use double-quotes instead.

I'm always forgetting what Perl's predefined special variables do, and often test them at the command line with a one liner to see what they contain. For instance do you remember what $^O is?

$ perl -e 'print "$^O\n"'
linux

It's the operating system name. With that cleared up, let's see what else we can do. If you're using a relatively new Perl (5.10.0 or higher) you can use the -E switch instead of -e. This turns on some of Perl's newer features, like say, which prints a string and appends a newline to it. This saves typing and makes the code cleaner:

$ perl -E 'say "$^O"'
linux

Pretty handy! say is a nifty feature that you'll use again and again.
