Getting Started with Discovery Environment
Discovery Environment is an online platform for running bioinformatics applications and analyzing data. It’s provided for free by CyVerse (previously known as iPlant Collaborative – www.cyverse.org), a project by the National Science Foundation, USA to develop computing infrastructure for life science … Continue reading
Detection of differentially expressed genes using RNA-Seq and CyVerse
Detection of differentially expressed genes using RNA-Seq Introduction In this tutorial we will analyze an RNA-Seq data set to detect differences in gene expression between two experimental conditions. We will use a program called Tophat to align the RNA-Seq reads … Continue reading
Pathogen Identification using DNA Barcoding
Background DNA Barcoding is a technique for identifying species using DNA sequences. Short DNA sequences are used like barcodes on items at the supermarket to uniquely identify each product. Read more about DNA Barcoding on Wikipedia and the website of the … Continue reading
