http://last.cbrc.jp/ - LAST can: Handle big sequence data, e.g: Compare two vertebrate genomes Align billions of DNA reads to a genome Indicate the reliability of each aligned column. Use sequence quality data properly. Compare DNA...

https://plast.inria.fr/ - PLAST is a fast, accurate and NGS scalable bank-to-bank sequence similarity search tool providing significant accelerations of seeds-based heuristic comparison methods, such as the Blast suite of algorithms. Relying on unique software architecture,...

www.littlest.co.uk - Miropeats discovers regions of sequence similarity amongst any set of DNA sequences and then presents this similarity information graphically. Sequence similarity searching is a very general tool that forms the basis of many different biological...

Dr. Rob Edwards describes some of the problems, challenges, and approches in genome annotation, with a particular emphasis on how the Fellowship for the Interpretation of Genomes (FIG) developed subsystems using the SEED database available at...

cbio.ensmp.fr - Although centromeres are essential for life and are the subject of extensive research, centromere locations in yeast genomes are difficult to infer, and in most species they are still unknown. Recently, the chromatin conformation assay Hi-C has been...

bioinf.uni-greifswald.de - Gene finding in eukaryotic genomes is notoriously difficult to automate. The task is to design a work flow with a minimal set of tools that would reach state-of-the-art performance across a wide range of species. GeneMark-ET is a gene prediction...

A new “Download assemblies” button is now available in the Assembly database. This makes it easy to download data for multiple genomes without having to write scripts.

sourceforge.net - DIY Genomics is an open source bioinformatics consortium intended to bring a collection of tools and libraries into the hands of small scale genomics labs for the process of sequence assembly and annotation. Projects include DIYA, MGAP, CRISPR, and...
