• Reading a pre-existing reference genome from one or more FASTA files.
• Alternatively, generating an artificial reference genome based on input parameters (length, repeat count, repeat length, repeat variability rate).
• Simulating reads from random locations in the genome based on input parameters of read length, coverage, sequencing error rate, and indel rate.
• Applying alignment tools to the genome and the reads through a standardized interface.
• Parsing the output of the alignment tool and calculating the number of reads that were correctly or incorrectly mapped.
• Computing run times and measures of accuracy.

Seal has interfaces to evaluate the following software packages:

• Bowtie
• BWA
• MAQ
• mrFAST
• mrsFAST
• Novoalign
• SHRiMP
• SOAPv2

MGI, a subsidiary of global genomics leader BGI Group, announced pricing and its first early access customer for the new ultra high-throughput sequencer, MGISEQ-T7, saying it has driven down sequencing cost to $5 per gigabyte, with exceptionally high accuracy. Such innovations are helping more people to realize the benefits of genomic information.

In October, MGI launched the MGISEQ-T7, a highly flexible production-scale platform that is the most powerful sequencer to date. It can produce as many as 60 whole human genomes in one day. The instrument sells for $1 million.

The T7 enables simultaneous but independent operation of up to four flow cells, which means different applications such as single-cell RNA sequencing, whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing can be run in different flow cells at the same time. This helps to reduce costs, allowing MGI to offer the most competitive sequencing price in the market.

Powered by DNBseq™, MGISEQ delivers quality data with accuracy for SNP and Indel calling rate of 99.9% and 99%, respectively, along with decreased duplication rate down to less than 2 percent, and almost zero Index mis-assignment rate.

GEvol is unique as it will use, for the first time, a large taxonomic group to focus on one goal: to characterise the dynamics and mechanisms of genomic innovations underlying novel traits using comparative evolutionary genomics (and related data).
Thus, projects participating in GEvol we will ask fundamental evolutionary questions such as:
1. At what level is evolution repeatable?
2. How does genomic plasticity interfere with phenotypic plasticity during evolution?
3. How do inter- and intra-specific interactions influence genomic architectures?
4. How predictable is phenotypic variation given some knowledge about the dynamics and mechanisms of underlying genome evolution?
