Without genomic sequencing, many genetic diseases would never be diagnosed.| Pediatrics Nationwide
Tuberculosis (TB) is a big killer in many countries of the world, particularly in those with low and middle income. Next-generation sequencing has been key in improving our understanding of drug resistance acquisition and of transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Yet, the need for expertise guiding NGS implementation in laboratories and the lack of bioinformatic expertise, are main obstacles hindering the implementation of NGS into TB programs.| Galaxy Training Network
Circos plots are popular for displaying huge amounts of data in a relatively small visual space. This is especially relevant for genomic data. This post explores creating Circos-style genomic data plots in R using R package circlize.| rmf
Fast LD computation from a VCF file using **vcftools**, **bcftools** and **tomahawk**. This avoids the use of PLINK or conversion to PLINK formats.| rmf
