SIMBA: a web tool for managing bacterial genome assembly generated by Ion PGM sequencing technology

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 23 May 2017 05:28:56 -0500

SIMBA, SImple Manager for Bacterial Assemblies, is a Web interface for managing assembly projects of bacterial genomes. SIMBA was created to assist bioinformaticians to assemble bacterial genomes sequenced with NextGeneration Sequencing (NGS) platforms quickly, easily and effectively. SIMBA also is open source tool, i.e., can be freely downloaded, shared and modified.

Translational Bioinformatics: Transforming 300 Billion Points of Data

Tue, 20 Aug 2013 19:03:47 -0500

Translational Bioinformatics: Transforming 300 Billion Points of Data into Diagnostics, Therapeutics, and New Insights into Disease Air date: Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 3:00:00 PM Time displayed is Eastern Time, Washington DC Local Description: There is an urgent need to translate genome-era discoveries into clinical utility, but the difficulties in making bench-to-bedside translations haven't been well described. The nascent field of translational bioinformatics may help. Dr. Butte's lab at Stanford University builds and applies tools that convert more than 300 billion points of molecular, clinical, and epidemiological data (measured by researchers and clinicians over the past decade) into diagnostics, therapeutics, and new insights into disease. Dr. Butte, a bioinformatician and pediatric endocrinologist, will highlight his lab's work on using publicly available molecular measurements to find new uses for drugs, discovering new treatable mechanisms of disease in type 2 diabetes, and evaluating patients presenting with whole genomes sequenced. The NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.

dipSPAdes: Assembler for Highly Polymorphic Diploid Genomes.

Jit — Wed, 20 Dec 2017 18:35:16 -0600

While the number of sequenced diploid genomes have been steadily increasing in the last few years, assembly of highly polymorphic (HP) diploid genomes remains challenging. As a result, there is a shortage of tools for assembling HP genomes from the next generation sequencing (NGS) data. The initial approaches to assembling HP genomes were proposed in the pre-NGS era and are not well suited for NGS projects. To address this limitation, we developed the first de Bruijn graph assembler, dipSPAdes, for HP genomes that significantly improves on the state-of-the-art assemblers for HP diploid genomes.

D-GENIES: A tool for Dotplot large Genomes in an Interactive, Efficient and Simple way

Jit — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 09:41:22 -0500

D-GENIES – for Dotplot large Genomes in an Interactive, Efficient and Simple way – is an online tool designed to compare two genomes. It supports large genome and you can interact with the dot plot to improve the visualisation. We use minimap version 2 to align the two genomes. Then, the PAF file is parsed and plotted into an interactive plot written with d3.js library. D-Genies also allows to display dot plots from other aligners by uploading their PAF or MAF alignment file. http://dgenies.toulouse.inra.fr/

P10K: The Protist 10,000 Genomes

BioStar — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 08:29:30 -0500

The Protist 10,000 Genomes (P10K) Project aims to decipher the genome sequences and construct a comprehensive database resource containing over 10,000 species of protists, encompassing representatives from every major clade. Samples were collected from diverse habitats, and the genome information was acquired through de novo sequencing, genome re-annotation, and integration of publicly available data. Serving as a centralized data portal for the project, the P10K database primarily focuses on delivering high-quality curation and facilitating efficient retrieval of protist genome data.

Genomicus: genome browser that enables users to navigate in genomes in several dimensions

Jit — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 16:10:16 -0600

Genomicus is a genome browser that enables users to navigate in genomes in several dimensions: linearly along chromosome axes, transversaly across different species, and chronologicaly along evolutionary time.

Once a query gene has been entered, it is displayed in its genomic context in parallel to the genomic context of all its orthologous and paralogous copies in all the other sequenced metazoan genomes. Moreover, Genomicus stores and displays the predicted ancestral genome structure in all the ancestral species within the phylogenetic range of interest.

All the data on extant species displayed in this browser are from Ensembl.
