github.com - A phylogeny based comparative genomics software to analyze the genetic environment of genes. The user can select one or several taxa and provide one or several reference protein(s). Genomes and plasmids (based on user choice) will be downloaded from...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - A new approach to rapid, genome-wide identification and ranking of horizontal transfer candidate proteins is presented. The method is quantitative, reproducible, and computationally undemanding. It can be combined with genomic signature and/or...
bioinfo.noble.org - GWASpro supports building complex design matrices, by which complex experimental designs that may include replications, treatments, locations and times, can be accounted for in the linear mixed model (LMM). GWASpro is optimized to handle GWAS data...
A recent study by Webster and Chapman introduces Buscogeny, an open-source bioinformatics pipeline designed to make this process easier. The tool uses BUSCO (Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs), which identifies conserved genes that are...
tree.bio.ed.ac.uk - FigTree is designed as a graphical viewer of phylogenetic trees and as a program for producing publication-ready figures. As with most of my programs, it was written for my own needs so may not be as polished and feature-complete as a commercial...
Workshop Overview
A ten-day workshop taking place between 25 February - 6 March 2014 providing detailed hands-on training for population and meta-genomics analysis for researchers with little or no background in mathematics or...
TheLab seek to understand the genetic factors contributing to genomic variation and phenotypic diversity. To this end, we employ molecular and bioinformatic tools to study evolutionary processes at the level of populations, both experimental and...
Genetic differences among individuals reflect the combined effects of mutation, recombination, population history and natural selection. As a result, studies of natural variation can provide important insights into evolutionary and genetic...
