Genome reassembly with high-throughput sequencing data

Genome variation discovery with high-throughput sequencing data

The advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies is enabling sequencing of human genomes at a significantly lower cost. The availability of these genomes is hoped to enable novel medical diagnostics and treatment, specific to the individual, thus launching the era of personalized medicine. The data currently generated by HTS machines require extensive computational analysis in order ...

Savant: genome browser for high-throughput sequencing data

MOTIVATION The advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has made it affordable to sequence many individuals' genomes. Simultaneously the computational analysis of the large volumes of data generated by the new sequencing machines remains a challenge. While a plethora of tools are available to map the resulting reads to a reference genome, and to conduct primary analysis of the ma...

Salmonella serotype determination utilizing high-throughput genome sequencing data.

Serotyping forms the basis of national and international surveillance networks for Salmonella, one of the most prevalent foodborne pathogens worldwide (1-3). Public health microbiology is currently being transformed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS), which opens the door to serotype determination using WGS data. SeqSero (www.denglab.info/SeqSero) is a novel Web-based tool for determining Salmone...

High-throughput sequencing of the melanoma genome.

Next-generation sequencing technologies are now common for whole-genome, whole-exome and whole-transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) of tumors to identify point mutations, structural or copy number alterations and changes in gene expression. A substantial number of studies have already been performed for melanoma. One study analysed eight melanoma cell lines with RNA-Seq technology and identified ...
