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 […]
