Strainberry: automated strain separation in low-complexity metagenomes using long reads
Nature Communications, 2021 Existing long-read de novo assembly methods can partially, but not completely, separate strains. Here, the authors develop Strainberry, a metagenome assembly bioinformatic pipeline that exclusively uses longread data to accurately separate and ...

Mapping-friendly sequence reductions: Going beyond homopolymer compression
iScience, 2022 Summary: Sequencing errors continue to pose algorithmic challenges to methods working with sequencing data. One of the simplest and most prevalent techniques for ameliorating the detrimental effects of homopolymer expansion/contraction errors present in ...

Localization of T cell clonotypes using the Visium spatial transcriptomics platform
STAR Protocols, 2022 Summary: We present a protocol to localize T cell receptor clones using the Visium spatial transcriptomics platform. This approach permits simultaneous localization of both gene expression and T cell clonotypes in situ within tissue sections.

Flexible RNA design under structure and sequence constraints using formal languages [PDF]
, 2013 The problem of RNA secondary structure design (also called inverse folding) is the following: given a target secondary structure, one aims to create a sequence that folds into, or is compatible with, a given structure.
