The bigger lesson is simple: better biological discoveries often begin with better data.

We study the evolutionary genomics of marine invertebrates to understand their origins and diversity. Our lab combines high-throughput sequencing and single-cell transcriptomics to explore a wide range of non-model systems. We are particularly...

Consider a scenario in which a patient's genome has been sequenced. Among billions of DNA bases, a structural alteration may explain the patient's disease. Multiple advanced algorithms analyze the data, yet only one detects the variant, while the...

dgenies.toulouse.inra.fr - 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...

deltarho.org - Trelliscope provides a way to flexibly visualize large, complex data in great detail from within the R statistical programming environment. Trelliscope is a component in the DeltaRho environment. For those familiar with Trellis...

emboss.sourceforge.net - needleall reads a set of input sequences and compares them all to one or more sequences, writing their optimal global sequence alignments to file. It uses the Needleman-Wunsch alignment algorithm to find the optimum alignment (including gaps) of two...

lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr - SEX-DETector is a probabilistic method that relies on RNAseq data from a cross (parents and progeny of each sex) to infer autosomal and sex-linked genes (genes located on the non recombining part of sex chromosomes). How does SEX-DETector...

github.com - ContigExtender, was developed to extend contigs, complementing de novo assembly. ContigExtender employs a novel recursive Overlap Layout Candidates (r-OLC) strategy that explores multiple extending paths to achieve longer and highly accurate...

github.com - Perform Alignment-free k-tuple frequency comparisons from sequences. This can be in the form of two input files (e.g. a reference and a query) or a single file for pairwise comparisons to be made.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the “non-sexual movement of genetic material between two organisms” , is relatively common in prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes, but a number of factors combine to make it far rarer in...
