A large choice of tools exists for many standard tasks in the analysis of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data. However, once a project deviates from standard workflows, custom scripts are needed. Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory present HTSeq, a ...

While next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are rapidly advancing, an area that lags behind is the development of efficient and user-friendly tools for preliminary analysis of massive NGS data. As an effort to fill this gap to keep up with the ...

Numerous methods of RNA-Seq data analysis have been developed, and there are more under active development. In this paper, the authors focus on evaluating the impact of each processing stage; from pre-processing of sequencing reads to alignment/counting to count normalization ...

Current practice in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is to identify peptides by comparison of experimental mass spectra with theoretical mass spectra derived from a reference protein database; however, this strategy necessarily fails to detect peptide and protein sequences that are ...
