Why use Prokka? First, because in a benchmark test it has been shown to be as or more accurate at reproducing known annotation than RAST or xBASE2 in most annotation categories. Second, because it’s...

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...
