Bioinformatics approach to Boar Taint
Meat products obtained from intact male pigs often produce offensive smell or odour which is recognized as a complex genetic trait called boar taint.Androstenone and Skatole in the fat primarily cause boar taint. Metabolism of androstenone and sex steroids share a common pathway which makes ...Tags: Sequencing, DNA, Whole genome re-sequencing, Boar taint, androstenone, skatole, pig, QTL, SNP, haplotype, fine mapping, SSC

HapCUT2: robust and accurate haplotype assembly for diverse sequencing technologies
HapCUT2 is a maximum-likelihood-based tool for assembling haplotypes from DNA sequence reads, designed to "just work" with excellent speed and accuracy. We found that previously described haplotype assembly methods are specialized for specific read technologies or protocols, with slow or inaccura...Tags: HapCUT2, robust, accurate, haplotype, assembly, diverse, sequencing, technologies

Ranbow: a haplotype assembler for polyploid genomes
Ranbow is a haplotype assembler for polyploid genomes. It has been developed for the haplotype assembly of the hexaploid sweet potato genome, which is highly heterozygous. Ranbow can also be applied to other polyploid genomes. After a first phasing, Ranbow utilizes the assembled haplotypes to imp...Tags: Ranbow, haplotype, assembler, polyploid, genomes, Assembly, NGS

HipSTR: Haplotype inference and phasing for Short Tandem Repeats
HipSTR was specifically developed to deal with these errors in the hopes of obtaining more robust STR genotypes. In particular, it accomplishes this by: Learning locus-specific PCR stutter models using an EM algorithm Mining candidate STR alleles from population-scale sequencing dat...Tags: HipSTR, Haplotype, inference, phasing, Short, Tandem, Repeats
