BioBam Bioinformatics attended the 17th European Conference on Computational Biology ECCB in Athens, Greece. It is the main computational biology event in Europe and congregates scientists working in a variety of disciplines, including bioinformatics, computational biology, biotechnology, medicine, and systems biology. We presented all the new features developed, during the last month, in Blast2GO:
NGS Preprocessing and Quality Control: How-To with OmicsBox
Carlos Menor
September 5, 2018
Functional genomics attempts to describe the functions of genes and proteins by making use of data derived from genomic and transcriptomic experiments. Some bioinformatics tools, like OmicsBox, offer biologists to get from raw NGS data through all steps up to the generation of biological insights for a species without any previous genome resources. The bioinformatic process to perform a de

Blast2GO Supported Project. Researchers: Mrs.Soulmaz Ekhtari Teachers: Dr. Jafar Razeghi, Dr. Karim Hasanpur, and Dr. Arash Kianianmomeni Background and Project Overview: The evolutionary origin of some multicellular organisms has not yet been completely studied. A clear characteristic of complex multicellular organisms is germ-soma differentiation. The monophyletic group of volvocine contains multiple algae species ranging from unicellular species such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

February 8, 2018
OmicsBox/Blast2GO provides an interface to create, edit and run workflows based on the Common Workflow Language (CWL) specification. This interface allows to describe all analysis steps using the functions and tools offered by Blast2GO and connect them to perform a complete analysis in a single run. This video shows step-by-step how to create a workflow from scratch, define the input
Expression Estimation at Transcript-Level

October 20, 2017
The Transcript-level Quantification feature of OmicsBox/Blast2GO allows quantifying the gene and isoform expression of RNA-seq datasets. This video shows step-by-step how to create a count table of aligned sequencing reads and explains in detail the different concepts of expression quantification at transcript level. The application is based on the RSEM software package, which assigns reads to the isoforms they came

Blast2GO Supported Project. Researchers: Prof. Luis Delaye, CINVESTAV Irapuato, México Prof. Enrique Calderon, Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla, España Prof. Andrés Moya, I2SysBio, Universidad de Valencia, España Background and Project Overview: Fungi from the genus Pneumocystis parasites lungs of mammals. These fungi show extensive stenoxenism, meaning that each Pneumocystis specie parasites a single mammal species. In humans, Pneumocystis causes pneumonia
