I specialise in ChIP-seq analysis, but also run RNA-seq and other NGS applications. Data comes, almost exclusively from illumina sequencers, but I used to mostly analyse SOLiD sequence.

.

I am interested in the analysis, organisation and presentation of genomics data. I have a special place in my heart for the hunting of transcription factor binding sites.

Comment: C: Help need to use information in an multiple fasta alignment (MFA) file?
... Funnily enough I had looked at it because it mentioned the use of MFA files. Unfortunately it assumes that every sequence in the file is a different species, and is a multiple alignment. Whereas my file has a many pair-wise alignments. I rerun MAUVE and the .alignment file is an almost identical ...

Help need to use information in an multiple fasta alignment (MFA) file?
... Hello. I have aligned the 88 contigs of an *E.coli* *de novo* assembly against the closest reference genome, using WGvista. The aim is to identify structural differences in the alignment, in detail. The output of WGvista is a multiple fasta alignment (MFA) file. The format gives pairwise alignm ...

Answer: A: Which conservation score to use to measure conservation of splice sites?
... The following text is from UCSC's page on PhastCons / PhyloP ([LINK][1]). I think for the size of splice-sites that the fine grained PhyloP score might be most useful. > "PhastCons is a hidden Markov model-based method that estimates the > probability that each nucleotide belongs to a conser ...

Answer: A: Can renaming, copying, or moving the omics data file corrupt it?
... If you are making copies of a file, particularly if the copy is going to be downloaded off a server, then using `md5sum` will produce a hash (string of characters) that are unique to the file, and can be matched with the copy. ...

Answer: A: Normalising RNA-seq samples from bam files for UCSC Genome browser visualization
... I have tackled this on a small scale by retaining SAM reads used by htseq-count (--samout), and removing those excluded from the final counts, using sed '/XF:Z:$/d;/XF:Z:__/d'. After normalisation by DESeq2 I use the scaleFactor to scale the SAM > BAM files, using bedtools genomecov (-scale). ...
