Our study describing FusionBloom, a utility for detecting transcript fusions with utility in cancer diagnostics, was just published in the peer-reviewed journal Bioinformatics.
Two studies reporting on the complete chloroplast genomes and gene annotations of white and Engelmann spruce are now published in the peer-reviewed journal Microbiology Resource Announcements.
Our study describing ntEdit, a fast and scalable technology to polish and ‘haploidize’ genome sequences, was just published in the peer-reviewed journal Bioinformatics.
We introduce ORCA, a Docker image with hundreds of bioinformatics tools/dependencies, simplifying software installs. ORCA was recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Bioinformatics.
Our latest work on antimicrobial peptide (AMP) discovery in bullfrogs was just published in the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports The paper describes the AMP discovery bioinformatics pipeline and functional assays to test their efficacy against microbes.
Our study presenting Tigmint, a bioinformatics utility to detect and correct errors in genome assemblies using linked reads is published in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Bioinformatics.
Our latest genome assembly scaffolder, ARKS, was just published in the peer-reviewed journal BMC bioinformatics The paper describes a new read alignment-free methodology that employs kmer-based read mapping and improves assembly runtime. In the paper we present benchmarks on human genome draft assemblies and show how linked reads can improve drafts assembled with the same sequencing data further.
The Research Programmer: •Develops and implements new algorithms •Works with the BTL’s large C/C++ code base (improve existing modules, create new ones, etc.) •Works on complex biological problems in which analysis of sequence data requires in-depth evaluation More info available here
RECOMB 2018 will be taking place in Paris, France, from April 21-24th. RECOMB-Seq is one of its four satellite workshops this year, taking place from April 19-20th, bringing together researchers in computational genomics and bioinformatics to discuss new frontiers in gene sequencing.
