	<title><![CDATA[Comparative Genomics Data Set Including 240 Mammals Released !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The genome of 130 mammals was sequenced by a large international consortium and the data was analyzed together with 110 existing genomes to allow scientists to identify the important positions in the DNA. This report, published in Nature today will help advance research on human disease mutations and inform how best to protect endangered species.</p><p>In addition to the knowledge of the human genome, all these genomes, widely sampled across mammals, can be used to research how particular organisms respond to different conditions. Some otters, for example, have a thick, water-resistant shell, and some rodents, but not all, have adapted to hibernation. These animal traits will help us to understand human traits, such as metabolic diseases.</p><p><img src="https://media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41586-020-2876-6/MediaObjects/41586_2020_2876_Fig1_HTML.png?as=webp" alt="image" style="border: 0px; border: 0px;"></p><p>With climate change and more animal ecosystems being threatened by human activity, the protection of endangered species is becoming increasingly important. Scientists have historically researched several people in various populations of a species to understand the genetic variation that occurs in that species. This is important for understanding how particular species can be protected. In this study, animals on the Red List of Endangered Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature had fewer differences in their genomes, which is consistent with their endangered status.</p><p>Ref @&nbsp;A comparative genomics multitool for scientific discovery and conservation&nbsp;https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2876-6</p><p>&nbsp;Data at&nbsp;http://zoonomiaproject.org/</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>RMBlast is a RepeatMasker compatible version of the standard NCBI blastn program. The primary difference between this distribution and the NCBI distribution is the addition of a new program "rmblastn" for use with RepeatMasker and RepeatModeler.</span></p>
<p>RMBlast supports RepeatMasker searches by adding a few necessary features to the stock NCBI blastn program. These include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for custom matrices ( without KA-Statistics ).</li>
<li>Support for cross_match-like complexity adjusted scoring. Cross_match is Phil Green's seeded smith-waterman search algorithm.</li>
<li>Support for cross_match-like masklevel filtering.</li>

  <description><![CDATA[
<p>My research group consists primarily of computer science graduate students and postdocs with expertise in algorithms, statistical inferences and machine learning, and sharing a passion for understanding fundamental biological problems.</p>

<p>We work in a highly interdisciplinary environment at the interface of Computer Science and Biology. Since its inception, our lab has eagerly engaged in collaborative research partnerships with biological and experimental collaborators, facilitated by our affiliation with the Broad Institute and the Computational and Systems Biology initiative (CSBi) at MIT, our participation in the Epigenome Roadmap, ENCODE, and modENCODE consortia, and by several other ongoing collaborations at MIT, Harvard, and the Harvard Medical School affiliated hospitals.</p>
