As most biologists are probably aware, technological advances in molecular biology during
the last few years have opened up possibilities to rapidly generate large-scale sequencing …

The emergence of next-generation sequencing platforms led to resurgence of research in
whole-genome shotgun assembly algorithms and software. DNA sequencing data from the …

Sooty moulds are a remarkable, but poorly understood group of fungi. They coat fruits and
leaves superficially with black mycelia, which reduces photosynthesis rates of host plants …

De novo assembly tools play a main role in reconstructing genomes from next-generation
sequencing (NGS) data and usually yield a number of contigs. Using paired-read …

The human gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) harbors a complex community of microbes. The
microbiota composition varies between different locations in the GI tract, but most studies …

Recent advances in DNA sequencing have revolutionized the field of genomics, making it
possible for even single research groups to generate large amounts of sequence data very …

We identified the sequence-specific starting positions of consecutive miscalls in the map**
of reads obtained from the Illumina Genome Analyser (GA). Detailed analysis of the miscall …

White spruce (Picea glauca) is a dominant conifer of the boreal forests of North America, and
providing genomics resources for this commercially valuable tree will help improve forest …

An accurate genome sequence of a desired species is now a pre-requisite for genome
research. An important step in obtaining a high-quality genome sequence is to correctly …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is present in all fields of life science, which has greatly
