Use the illumina reads to generate ideal electrical sequence models, then try to match those models quickly to the MinION reads (event model, or raw signal). -
bioinformatics tool for RNA-seq data analysis: ideas wanted
Hi all
I'm planning to design a software tool for a bioinformatics programming project at university. It is mostly for fun during summer, but better if the software is useful and reusable for community, it would be more motivating. I have no restriction on software type, it can be anything. I mostly know python and bash, and not used to more low-level languages such as C++ or Java. A cute and useful script is what I am aiming at.
I have direct access to NGS RNA-seq data for D. melanogaster whole body females:
- Illumina HiSeq2500 paired-end reads (.fastq)
- Oxford MinION (.fast5, can be extracted to .fastq as well)
So, what would you suggest? Maybe, something related to isoform detection/benchamarking going besides the standard pipelines?
Thank you in advance for your ideas.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
