VG: variation graph data structures, interchange formats, alignment, genotyping, and variant calling methods

Jit — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:53:24 -0600

Variation graphs provide a succinct encoding of the sequences of many genomes. A variation graph (in particular as implemented in vg) is composed of:

nodes, which are labeled by sequences and ids
edges, which connect two nodes via either of their respective ends
paths, describe genomes, sequence alignments, and annotations (such as gene models and transcripts) as walks through nodes connected by edges

Ensembl Variation - Calculated variant consequences

Jit — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 19:17:37 -0500

For each variant that is mapped to the reference genome, we identify all overlapping Ensembl transcripts. We then use a rule-based approach to predict the effects that each allele of the variant may have on each transcript. The set of consequence terms, defined by the Sequence Ontology (SO), that can be currently assigned to each combination of an allele and a transcript is shown in the table below. Note that each allele of each variant may have a different effect in different transcripts.

Mike Ritchie Lab

Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:25:45 -0500

Mike Ritchie Lab primary research focus is the detection of susceptibility genes for common diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, among others. The approaches will involve the development and application of new statistical methods with a focus on the detection of gene-gene interactions associated with human disease.

Gene expression and protein expression patterns between normal and non-normal tissues is a growing area of research that may lead to the identification of candidate genes for understanding the etiology of common, complex diseases.

Archana Malhotra — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 09:49:37 -0500

This course is aimed at those new to programming and provides an introduction to programming using Perl. By the end of this course, attendees should be able to write simple Perl programs and to understand more complex Perl programs written by others. The course will be taught using the online Learning Perl materials created by Sofia Robb of the University of California Riverside. Further information is available.

Phylogenomics/Phylogenetic website

Aaryan Lokwani — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 02:17:18 -0500

Welcome to phylobabble.org, a discussion forum for phylogenetic theory and applications. The primary goal of this forum is to discuss best practice and new developments in phylogenetics. Although we do have a Troubleshooting category for getting feedback on analyses, this is not a help site for running phylogenetics programs.

A great place to chat about phylogenetics for researchers and the broader community of students and science-interested citizens.
