It primarily uses read depth (coverage) information to generate robust copy number estimates for individual samples and is most approprate for use in very large cohorts (minimum of 1000 samples). The main objective of the CNest pipeline is the calculation of copy number estimate that are robust enough to allow genome wide association analysis for CNVs from NGS datasets (CNV-GWAS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ChromoTrace: Computational reconstruction of 3D chromosome configurations for super-resolution microscopy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Software to reconstruct the 3D structure of DNA inside the cell using super resolution microscopy data.&nbsp;Publication can be found here&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/ploscompbiol\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pcbi.1006002\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/ploscompbiol\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pcbi.1006002<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gitlab.com\/Chromotrace_utils\/chromotrace\">https:\/\/gitlab.com\/Chromotrace_utils\/chromotrace<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ENCODE virtual machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/encodeproject.org\/ENCODE\/integrativeAnalysis\/VM\">A new approach to reporting and sharing Methods<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ENCODE consortium have published an&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/encode\/#\/threads\">integrated analysis of ENCODE genome-wide data<\/a>. Each analysis depends upon specific software processing that has a series of source data files.

In cases where the analysis involved highly parallelised processing within a specialised multiprocessor environment, a partial example has been implemented, leaving it to the reader to decide whether and how to scale to a full analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope that this structure provides the opportunity to run the same analyses in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ENCODE cloud instance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can &#8220;instantiate&#8221; an Amazon EC2 instance to examine figures from the ENCODE analysis in the cloud.&nbsp;To get started, follow the instructions at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/scofield.bx.psu.edu\/~dannon\/encodevm\/#\">http:\/\/scofield.bx.psu.edu\/~dannon\/encodevm\/#<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Velvet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Velvet is a&nbsp;sequence assembler for very short reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebi.ac.uk\/~zerbino\/velvet\/velvet_1.2.08.tgz\">Download the current version<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebi.ac.uk\/~zerbino\/velvet\/Manual.pdf\">Manual<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebi.ac.uk\/~zerbino\/velvet\/Columbus_manual.pdf\">extension for Columbus<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/git.or.cz\/\">Git<\/a>:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/github.com\/dzerbino\/velvet\/tree\/master\">git:\/\/github.com\/dzerbino\/velvet.git<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign up for our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/listserver.ebi.ac.uk\/mailman\/listinfo\/velvet-users\">mailing list<\/a>\u00a0to learn about the latest releases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For transcriptomic assembly, Velvet is extended by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebi.ac.uk\/~zerbino\/oases\/\">Oases<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have questions about Velvet?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebi.ac.uk\/~zerbino\/velvet\/\">You might find some quick answers here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DELPHI: Learning the natural history of human disease with generative transformers https:\/\/github.com\/gerstung-lab\/delphi Delphi-2M is an AI model that learns disease trajectories from healthcare data and can provide individualised predictions.
