Paper: An investigation of causes of false positive single nucleotide polymorphisms using simulated reads from a small eukaryote genome
Congratulations to Antonio Ribeiro on the publication of his new BMC Bioinformatics paper: An investigation of causes of false positive single nucleotide polymorphisms using simulated reads from a small eukaryote genome Abstract Background Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are widely used molecular markers, and their use has increased massively since the inception of Next Generation Sequencing […]
Book Chapter: Tablet: Visualizing Next-Generation Sequence Assemblies and Mappings
The Tablet team have contributed a chapter to Plant Bioinformatics (2nd Edition): Abstract: This chapter is designed to be a practical guide to using Tablet for the visualization of next/second-generation (NGS) sequencing data. NGS data is being produced more frequently and in greater data volumes every year. As such, it is increasingly important to have […]
Numbers
I grew up with a love of numbers. The simple process of counting things leads, in a few short steps, to a fascinating world of complexity. Define a few operators, and numbers come alive, forming patterns, and then exceptions to the patterns that lead to new operators and new numbers. From the natural numbers (1, […]
