github.com - Often, genome assembly projects have illumina whole genome sequencing reads available for the assembled individual. The k-mer spectrum of this read set can be used for independently evaluating assembly quality without the need of a high quality...

cab.spbu.ru - QUAST-LG is an extension of QUAST intended for evaluating large-scale genome assemblies (up to mammalian-size). QUAST-LG is included in the QUAST  package starting from version 5.0.0 (download the latest release). Run QUAST as...

github.com - LTR_Finder is an efficient program for finding full-length LTR retrotranspsons in genome sequences. The Program first constructs all exact match pairs by a suffix-array based algorithm and extends them to long highly similar pairs. Then...

www.nature.com - Validated a widely accessible approach that can be used to establish functional causality for noncoding sequence variants identified by GWASs. https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3975

Scientists have reconstructed the genome of an ancient human who lived nearly 5,700 years ago in Southern Denmark from the birch pitch- an ancient tar-like substance.

github.com - genome simulation across a population with zeta-distributed allele frequency, snps, insertions, deletions, and multi-nucleotide polymorphisms More at https://github.com/ekg/mutatrix ./mutatrix -S sample -P test/ -p 2 -n 10 reference.fasta

China’s BGI says it can sequence a genome for just $100

github.com - HASLR, a hybrid assembler which uses both second and third generation sequencing reads to efficiently generate accurate genome assemblies. Our experiments show that HASLR is not only the fastest assembler but also the one with the lowest number of...

www.sequenceontology.org - We have developed the Sequence Ontology Bioinformatics Analysis (SOBA) tool to provide a simple statistical and graphical summary of an annotated genome. We envisage its use during annotation jamborees, genome comparison and for use by developers...

github.com - Flanker, a Python package which performs alignment-free clustering of gene flanking sequences in a consistent format, allowing investigation of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) without prior knowledge of their structure. Flanker can be...
