Have you ever wondered how scientists and bioinformaticians store, access, and organize the genetic variants they discover in each sample? This is the purpose of the Variant Call Format (VCF). To tie in with what we've already discussed in previous p...
BUSCO is widely used in bioinformatics to assess completeness of genome assemblies. Here we will try his younger brother: compleasm
Now that you know about FASTA and FASTQs, let's dive into BAM files!
Effective communication with fellow human beings can be challenging, especially for remote workers
I dare say that every bioinformatician working with genomics has encountered FASTQ files. Usually, after ordering DNA sequencing, we receive these files filled with tons of reads. But what exactly are these files? Where do they come from? And most im...
In the 1980s, the technological landscape was vastly different from what we see today. The idea of computers having terabytes of storage or gigabytes of memory was, perhaps, beyond even the wildest dreams of most. However, even then, the ever-present...
