Dear colleagues, I have implemented two software packages. HighSSR framework can significantly simplify development of the microsatellites (SSR) markers from the next generation sequencing reads (especially from Roche 454 GS-FLX raw reads because they are longer). The other package is for Illumina RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis in case/control studies. These are freely available from here http://maximusinuse.nmsu.edu. Please let me know your opinion about these developments, we will submit corresponding method papers for review shortly.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
