Processing high-throughput DNA sequencing data of individuals or populations requires stringing together independent software tools with many parameters, often leading to non-reproducible pipelines and datasets. We developed grenepipe to…
Background: With the rapid growth of massively parallel sequencing technologies, still more laboratories are utilizing sequenced DNA fragments for genomic analyses. Interpretation of sequencing data is, however, strongly dependent on…
Summary: Mapping ancient DNA to a reference genome is challenging as it involves numerous steps, is time-consuming and has to be repeated within a study to assess the quality of extracts and libraries; as a result, the mapping needs to be…
RNA sequencing techniques, like bulk RNA-seq and Single Cell (sc) RNA-seq, are critical tools for the biologist looking to analyze the genetic activity/transcriptome of a tissue or cell during an experimental procedure. Platforms like…
We present the first public release of ShapePipe, an open-source and modular weak-lensing measurement, analysis, and validation pipeline written in Python. We describe the design of the software and justify the choices made. We provide a…
Chemical mapping methods probe RNA structure by revealing and leveraging correlations of a nucleotide's structural accessibility or flexibility with its reactivity to various chemical probes. Pioneering work by Lucks and colleagues has…
There are currently plenty of programs available for mapping short sequences (reads) to a genome. Most of them, however, including such popular and actively developed programs as Bowtie, BWA, TopHat and many others, are based on…
Background Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has dramatically enhanced our ability to sequence genomes, but not to assemble them. In practice, many published genome sequences remain in the state of a large set of contigs. Each contig…
With the advent of Next-Generation (NG) sequencing, it has become possible to sequence an entire genome quickly and inexpensively. However, in some experiments one only needs to extract and assembly a portion of the sequence reads, for…
A genome read data set can be quickly and efficiently remapped from one reference to another similar reference (e.g., between two reference versions or two similar species) using a variety of tools, e.g., the commonly-used CrossMap tool.…
