github.com - Mix is a tool that combines two or more draft assemblies, without relying on a reference genome and has the goal to reduce contig fragmentation and thus speed-up genome finishing. The proposed algorithm builds an extension graph where vertices...
github.com - gapFinisher is based on the controlled use of a previously published gap filling tool FGAP and works on all standard Linux/UNIX command lines. They compare the performance of gapFinisher against two other published gap filling tools PBJelly and...
When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program.
the sequenced reads can be mapped to the organism’s genes to assess how differently the genes are expressed under the experimental circumstances as opposed to the control scenario. This is known as differential expression (DE) analysis
PhD opportunity at Université de Liège - Belgium
The Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Unit of Université de Liège (Belgium) is looking for a highly motivated master student with programming skills for a PhD thesis project (4 years, fully...
The study of biological pathways is a key to understand the different processes inside a cell: proteins exert their function not in isolation but in a tightly controlled network of interactions and reactions. Activation of a pathway typically leads...
bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - An ultra–high-performance protein–protein docking software for heterogeneous supercomputers
Summary: The application of protein–protein docking in large-scale interactome analysis is a major challenge in structural bioinformatics...
Network analysis is any structured technique used to mathematically analyze a circuit (a “network” of interconnected components). The Network analysis provides the ability to quantify associations between individuals, which...
