New paper involving assembly of PacBio reads from a tricky part of the dog genome, published in Immunogenetics
Bioinformatics data analyst Joe Fass was involved in work that was published recently in Immunogenetics: Refinement of the canine CD1 locus topology and investigation of antibody binding to recombinant canine CD1 isoforms The Bioinformatics Core’s role was to assembly bacterial artifitial chromosomes (BACs) tiling across a region of the canFam3 genome assembly. The assembled BACs… Read more »

The Bioinformatics Core helps understand the effects of ibuprofen contamination on the transcriptome of an inland fish
Monica Britton was involved in some recent work that has just been published in the Environmental Science and Pollution journal: Chronic exposures to low and high concentrations of ibuprofen elicit different gene response patterns in a euryhaline fish. Monica was involved generating a transcriptome assembly and subsequently annotating it from comparisons of all contigs with a custom subset of the nr… Read more »
The Assemblathon 2 paper features contributions from the UC Davis Bioinformatics Core
The Assemblathon project is intended to be an ongoing set of contests between developers of genome assembly software to determine how good different assemblers are at tackling different problems relating to this growing field. Results from the second competition (Assemblathon 2) have just been published in the journal Gigascience: Assemblathon 2: evaluating de novo… Read more »
