Aligning sequencing reads onto a reference is an essential step of the majority of genomic analysis pipelines. Computational algorithms for read alignment have evolved in …
Genome sequence analysis has enabled significant advancements in medical and scientific areas such as personalized medicine, outbreak tracing, and the understanding of evolution …
Abstract Background The first Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) genome assembly published in 2011 was one of the early genome assemblies exclusively based on high-throughput 454 …
We now need more than ever to make genome analysis more intelligent. We need to read, analyze, and interpret our genomes not only quickly, but also accurately and efficiently …
Motivation High throughput DNA sequencing (HTS) technologies generate an excessive number of small DNA segments-called short reads-that cause significant computational …
Abstract Motivation Segmental duplications (SDs) or low-copy repeats, are segments of DNA> 1 Kbp with high sequence identity that are copied to other regions of the genome …
Recently, there has been growing interest in genome sequencing, driven by advances in sequencing technology, in terms of both efficiency and affordability. These developments …
Motivation Third-generation sequencing technologies can sequence long reads that contain as many as 2 million base pairs. These long reads are used to construct an assembly (ie the …
Genotype imputation is an essential tool in genomics research, whereby missing genotypes are inferred using reference genomes to enhance downstream analyses. Recently, public …
