d2Tools: The toolbox for counting the frequency of k-tuple from sequencing datasets and calculate the dissimilarity

Jit — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 08:38:29 -0500

d2Tools are the toolbox for counting the frequency of K-tuple from sequencing datasets and then calculating the pairwise dissimilarity matrix between samples with the d2-style(d2/d2*/d2S representing d2/d2Star/d2shepp, respectively) measures. Hao, Dai, Eucliean, Mahattan, and Chebyshev distance measures are also included in d2Tools.

In many autoimmune diseases, a misdirected immune response leads to chronic inflammation and subsequently to fibrotic and degenerative tissue remodeling. Therapeutic options are available for inflammatory joint diseases, but only about 40% of patients respond to these existing therapies on a permanent basis. In the remaining cases, these therapies miss their target from the beginning or later during the course of treatment failure. There are currently no causal therapies available for the treatment of fibrotic autoimmune diseases such as systemic sclerosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic options for the treatment of fibrotic and synovitic autoimmune diseases. His group is therefore deal with the molecular mechanisms of these misdirected signaling pathways for the development of novel, targeted therapies

DeepVariant : an analysis pipeline that uses a deep neural network to call genetic variants from next-generation DNA sequencing data.

Jit — Sat, 25 Jan 2020 13:28:09 -0600

DeepVariant is an analysis pipeline that uses a deep neural network to call genetic variants from next-generation DNA sequencing data.

DeepVariant is an analysis pipeline that uses a deep neural network to call genetic variants from next-generation DNA sequencing data. DeepVariant relies on Nucleus, a library of Python and C++ code for reading and writing data in common genomics file formats (like SAM and VCF) designed for painless integration with the TensorFlow machine learning framework.
