Background: With the rapid expansion of DNA sequencing databases, it is now feasible to identify relevant information from prior sequencing projects and completed genomes and appl...
Currently, the genome sequencing community is producing shotgun sequence data at a very high rate, but genome finishing is not keeping pace, even with the help from several automa...
Background: We propose a method for deriving enzymatic signatures from short read metagenomic data of unknown species. The short read data are converted to six pseudo-peptide cand...
Background: Metagenomics is the study of environmental samples using sequencing. Rapid advances in sequencing technology are fueling a vast increase in the number and scope of met...
Background: Finishing is the process of improving the quality and utility of draft genome sequences generated by shotgun sequencing and computational assembly. Finishing can invol...
