Chromatin compartmentalization regulates the response to DNA damage
Cell culture and treatments DIvA (AsiSI-ER-U2OS)19, AID-DIvA (AID-AsiSI-ER-U2OS)23 and 53BP1-GFP DIvA20 cells were developed in U2OS (ATCC HTB-96) cells and were previously described. Authentication of the U2OS cell line was performed by the provider ATCC, which uses morphology and short tandem repeat profiling to confirm the identity of human cell…
No hits for influenza virus in an RNA seq. data using FAST Q screen (from babraham institute)
Hi All, I have been trying to fetch the reads mapped to influenza virus genome (negative sense RNA) in an RNA seq. data from chicken infection experiment that I have recently done., using Fastq screen (www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastq_screen/). It is a nice tool, where you can edit the configuration file (by adding…
ILIAD: A suite of automated Snakemake workflows for processing genomic data for downstream applications
Abstract Background: Processing raw genomic data for downstream applications such as imputation, association studies, and modeling requires numerous third-party bioinformatics software tools. It is highly time-consuming and resource-intensive with computational demands and storage limitations that pose significant challenges that increase cost. The use of software tools independent of one another,…
Redirecting the output of a command related to another command

Interaction of Mesonivirus and Negevirus with arboviruses and the RNAi response in Culex tarsalis-derived cells | Parasites & Vectors
Cell lines Hsu and CT cells originally derived from Culex quinquefasciatus and Culex tarsalis, respectively, were used as experimental material (gifts from R. van Rij, Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands). These cell lines are known to harbor several MSV infections [7]. Aag2 and C6/36 cells were received from A. Kohl…
Finding exactly where reads map from SAM
Finding exactly where reads map from SAM 1 Hello, I am trying to find exactly where my reads have mapped on a reference genome using information found in a SAM file. The files I am working with were generated using Bowtie1 and bwa. These tools were run with default parameters,…
Genotyping, sequencing and analysis of 140,000 adults from Mexico City
Recruitment of study participants The MCPS was established in the late 1990s following discussions between Mexican scientists at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and British scientists at the University of Oxford about how best to measure the changing health effects of tobacco in Mexico. These discussions evolved into…
The mutational signature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Introduction Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), characterized by asymmetric hypertrophy of the ventricular wall, is a condition where the heart becomes thickened without a distinct inducement.1,2 Epidemiological investigation shows that the estimated prevalence rate of HCM in the general population is 1:500.3,4 The clinical manifestations vary greatly, with no symptoms and mild…
Prospects of Whole Genome Sequencing in Animal Breeding
Prospects of Whole Genome Sequencing in Animal Breeding The development of high-throughput sequencing technologies has revolutionized animal genetics and genomics. The widespread use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) allows detection of a full range of common and rare genetic variants of different types across almost the entire genome which facilitates rare…

MetaCC allows scalable and integrative analyses of both long-read and short-read metagenomic Hi-C data
Real metaHi-C datasets In this study, we leveraged several publicly available metagenomic Hi-C datasets, consisting of two short-read metaHi-C datasets and two long-read metaHi-C datasets. The specific sizes of raw datasets were shown in Supplementary Table 6. Two short-read metaHi-C datasets were generated from different microbial ecosystems, including human gut (BioProject:…
Determine INDELs number (both classes separately) from reference and graph-based VCF files
Hi there, this is more so of a hint/suggestion post than a real question since I could manage to find some related posts here on Biostars but appreciate a feedback on the procedure/results for the analysis.
