chunlab.wordpress.com - A tetra-nucleotide is a fragment of DNA sequence with 4 bases (e.g. AGTC or TTGG). Pride et al. (2003) showed that the frequency of tetra-nucleotides in bacterial genomes contain useful, albeit weak, phylogenetic signals. Even though...

samtools.sourceforge.net - In current genome era, our day to day work is to handle the huge geneome sequences, expression data, several other datasets. This link provide a comprehensive list of commonly used sofware/tools.

23andMe’s mission is to help people access, understand, and benefit from the human genome. We are a group of passionate individuals excited to push the boundaries of what’s possible to help turn genetic insight into better health and personal...

Basics of computational proteomics

www.sanger.ac.uk - PAGIT addresses the need for software to generate high quality draft genomes. It is based on a series of programs that we developed: ABACAS, that is able to contiguate contigs from a de novo assembly against a closely related reference. IMAGE, an...

Hmm .. Don't worry you read it right .. this is not pi but bi ... "life of Bioinformatician(BI)".  Disclaimer: This cartoon is solely designed to create humour and fun, not to offend any PI, supervisor or student.

A new “Download assemblies” button is now available in the Assembly database. This makes it easy to download data for multiple genomes without having to write scripts.

UK Genome Science Meeting at Nottingham, UK

www.bx.psu.edu - We describe a new method for predicting the ancestral order and orientation of those intervals from their observed adjacencies in modern species. We combine the results from this method with data from chromosome painting experiments to produce a map...

Two animated case scenarios set now and in the future. These highlight potential differences in the way patients are treated now, and how they might be treated as healthcare becomes more tailored.
