	<description><![CDATA[<p>InfoGenomeR is the Integrative Framework for Genome Reconstruction that uses a breakpoint graph to model the connectivity among genomic segments at the genome-wide scale. InfoGenomeR integrates cancer purity and ploidy, total CNAs, allele-specific CNAs, and haplotype information to identify the optimal breakpoint graph representing cancer genomes.</p>

Now, it is important to remember that to get&nbsp;</span><em>all k-mers</em><span>&nbsp;from a sequence you need to get the first&nbsp;</span><em>k</em><span>&nbsp;characters, then move just a single character for the start of the next&nbsp;</span><em>k-mer</em><span>&nbsp;and so on. Effectively, this will create sequences that overlap in&nbsp;</span><code>k-1</code><span>&nbsp;positions.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://bioinfologics.github.io/post/2018/09/17/k-mer-counting-part-i-introduction/" rel="nofollow">https://bioinfologics.github.io/post/2018/09/17/k-mer-counting-part-i-introduction/</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">This tool extracts heterozygous kmer pairs from kmer count databases and performs gymnastics with them. We are able to disentangle genome structure by comparing the sum of kmer pair coverages (CovA + CovB) to their relative coverage (CovB / (CovA + CovB)). Such an approach also allows us to analyze obscure genomes with duplications, various ploidy levels, etc.</p>
<p dir="auto">Smudgeplots are computed from raw or even better from trimmed reads and show the haplotype structure using heterozygous kmer pairs. For example:</p>

<p dir="auto"><span>What is PhyloHerb</span>: PhyloHerb is a wrapper program to process&nbsp;<span>genome skimming</span>&nbsp;data collected from plant materials. The outcomes include the plastid genome (plastome) assemblies, mitochondrial genome assemblies, nuclear ribosomal DNAs (NTS+ETS+18S+ITS1+5.8S+ITS2+28S), alignments of gene and intergenic regions, and a species tree. It is designed to be a high throughput program dealing with lower quality data. Examples include&nbsp;<span>low-coverage (5x cpDNA) plastome phylogeny, recycling plastid genes from target enrichment data, retrieving low-copy nuclear genes from medium coverage (5x nucDNA) genome skimming</span>.</p>

All share one remarkable goal: to understand the genetic story of life.</div><div>DNA is nature's instruction manual, written with just four letters: A, T, C, and G.

Now, new sequencing technology lets us read entire genomes like never before.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>One of the most ambitious projects is the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP).
