We are two groups of scientists doing frontier research in quantitative biology and biomedicine. The Bienko group is interested in exploring the fundamental design principles controlling how DNA is packed in the eukaryotic nucleus and its relation...

ncbi.github.io - Magic-BLAST is a tool for mapping large next-generation RNA or DNA sequencing runs against a whole genome or transcriptome. Each alignment optimizes a composite score, taking into account simultaneously the two reads of a pair, and in case of...

www.dnabaser.com - DNA Nucleotide Counter is delivered in a DNA Baser package together with other free molecular biology tools. Download the package and double click it. The programs inside the package will be extracted to the destination folder (specified...

El-Sherif lab studies how genes are regulated to mediate patterning in Development. We use live and super-resolution imaging in addition to computational modeling to understand transcription dynamics at the single-cell level in three model systems:...

huanglab.phys.hust.edu.cn - The HNADOCK server is to predict the binding complex structure between two nucleic acid molecules through a hierarchical docking algorihtm of an FFT-based global search strategy and an intrinsic scoring function for nucleic acid interactions. Users...

Tandem repeats are DNA sequences that are repeated in a contiguous manner in the genome.

A fascinating new study published in Science (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aef8874?) introduces a computational method called TRACE, which allows scientists to search modern human genomes for genetic traces of ancient populations that...

github.com - SRBreak is a read-depth and split-read package written in R for identifying copy-number variants in next-generation sequencing datasets. Note: SBReak was designed to work for multiple samples. It can work for >= 2 samples, but we suggest that...

github.com - Genome scaffolding is a classical challenging problem in bioinformatics. It refers to joining assembly contigs into chains (called scaffolds). The join between two contigs A and B is considered correct if: Their relative orientation is...

github.com - nQuire implements a set of commands to estimate ploidy level of individuals from species, where recent polyploidization occurred and intraspecific ploidy variation is observed. Specifically, nQuire uses next-generation sequencing data to distinguish...
