As the rate of sequencing increases, greater throughput is demanded from read aligners. The full-text minute index is often used to make alignment very fast and memory-efficient, but the approach is ...

In bioinformatics, multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is an NP-hard problem. Nature-inspired approaches can provide an approximate solution compared to conventional approaches. In this article, the MSA ...

In a new article, researchers explain their work on computer-assisted approaches towards surveillance and consequent design of drugs and vaccines to combat the growth and spread of the Zika virus. The ...

Many cellular processes, including transcription and DNA replication, critically depend on chromatin structure, the three-dimensional organization of DNA that includes nucleosome positioning and ...

A bioinformatics research group led by researchers from Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) has been awarded a grant worth €1.3m from the European Commission to carry out a four-year project that will ...

Parabon® NanoLabs' Dr. Ellen Greytak will be a featured speaker in the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI)'s Webinar "Emerging DNA Techniques." Reston, Va. (March 2018) - Parabon® NanoLabs, a ...

The declining cost and increasing accessibility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) have led to the permeation of these techniques throughout the life sciences. The sequencing data generated from many ...

Researchers at DESY’s Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, along with colleagues from around the world, recently showed that laser-induced alignment can be accomplished to significantly improve ...
