PanX is a program for pangenome analysis and production of core genome phylogenies. The PanX analysis tools are available as a github package for custom genome analyses, and also as a web server. The...

There are many ways to compare genomes, and these comparisons provide different kinds of information about evolutionary history and shared function. First, how do you decide which genes are “the same” across multiple genomes,...

Genome browsers are designed to get different types of genome track data together using the common reference system of genomic coordinates. Often you’re more interested in manipulating whole sets of data, rather than just...

DNA Sequencing is a continually evolving technology, with new platforms becoming available each year, all designed with the aim of reducing the cost and increasing the speed of large sequencing projects. As you can...

This tutorial makes use of the data from the NC Urban Microbiome Project, a collaboration seeded by the Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics and involving participants from our department as well as Civil Engineering,...

Mapping short sequence reads to a reference sequence is a common task in genomics. Many different results can be extracted from a mapped sequence, depending on the original experimental design that produced the sequence...

In previous iterations of this course, we’ve used the RAST/SEED servers to perform annotation. RAST is a highly regarded genome annotation pipeline, and you will easily be able to justify using it to reviewers...
