	<title><![CDATA[Bioinformatics tools for genome assembly !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>There are numerous genome assembly tools available, each with its strengths and weaknesses. Here is a list of some widely used genome assembly tools as of my last update in September 2021:</p><ol>
<li>
<p><span>SPAdes:</span> An assembler specifically designed for single-cell and multi-cell bacterial genomes, as well as small eukaryotic genomes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>ABySS:</span> A parallelized assembler for large genomes that uses de Bruijn graphs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Velvet:</span> Another de Bruijn graph-based assembler optimized for short-read sequencing data.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>SOAPdenovo:</span> A de Bruijn graph-based assembler designed for short reads, widely used for assembling large and complex genomes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>MaSuRCA:</span> A hybrid assembler that combines data from multiple sequencing technologies, such as Illumina and PacBio.</p>
</li>
<li>

<p><span>Minia:</span> An assembler optimized for low memory consumption, suitable for small and medium-sized genomes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Unicycler:</span> A hybrid assembler that combines short and long reads for circular bacterial genome assembly.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>wtdbg2:</span> A de Bruijn graph assembler for long reads, efficient for very large genomes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Shasta:</span> A long-read assembler that uses the Overlap-Layout-Consensus approach, suitable for PacBio and Nanopore data.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Sparc:</span> An assembler designed to handle noisy long reads from Nanopore sequencing.</p>
</li>
<li>

</li>
</ol><p>Please note that the field of bioinformatics is constantly evolving, and new assembly tools may have emerged since my last update. Additionally, the performance of these tools can vary depending on the characteristics of the sequencing data and the genome being assembled. When selecting an assembly tool, consider the specific requirements of your project, the available data types, and the computational resources at your disposal. Always refer to the respective tool's documentation and publications for the most up-to-date information and recommendations.</p>]]></description>

<p>Protein function annotation and machine learning - UPMC - Paris, France</p>

<p>Job Description: We are interested in finding an excellent postdoc with interests in protein functional annotation, machine learning and computer grids. The position is open for 3.5 years at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, in the heart of paris.</p>

<p>Research topic: Protein function annotation, multiple probabilistic models, domain architecture, machine learning, combinatorial optimization, computer grid.</p>

<p>Title: A novel integrative platform for large scale protein annotation that exploits a multitude of diversified probabilistic models in several protein signature databases.</p>

<p>We propose a novel integrated approach for large scale protein annotation that will exploit an unprecedented amount of genomic data as well as sophisticated machine learning techniques and combinatorial optimization approaches taking advantages of High Performance Computing (HPC) environments. The idea is to uncover as much as possible the evolutionary processes of protein sequences that took place throughout the whole tree of life and that affected the evolution of a protein family. We have already demonstrated in a previous work that the problem of functional annotation is inherent to the ability of uncovering such paths. Now, we shall extend this approach to large scale genome annotation by considering 11 different protein databases, constituted by about 10^9 protein sequences, and by producing a large pool of diversified probabilistic models coding for about 10^7 evolutionary protein pathways. Such models will be used to search for specific domains in genomes to be annotated. Our previous methodology needs to be fundamentally improved to deal with this large amount of biological data. In this project, we shall work on the algorithms to reduce the space of models and the search complexity, and we shall implement some important algorithmic changes towards the realization of a powerful integrated annotation tool.</p>

<p>Where: This project is run on the Laboratoire de Biologie Computationnelle et Quantitative UMR7238 CNRS-UPMC – Analytical Genomics team, headed by A.Carbone. It is co-advised with Pierre-Henri Wuillemin, Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris 6 – Equipe DECISION.</p>

<p>Start date: September 1st, 2014<br />Contact Person: Alessandra Carbone<br />Contact: alessandra.carbone@lip6.fr</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline.Its purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome projects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based quality values.</p>
