Journal Article
Payne, A., Holmes, N., Rakyan, V., & Loose, M. (2018). BulkVis: a graphical viewer for Oxford nanopore bulk FAST5 files. Bioinformatics, 35(13), 2193-2198. https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/bty841

Motivation: The Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION is used for sequencing a wide variety of sample types with diverse methods of sample extraction. Nanopore sequencers output FAST5 files containing signal data subsequently base called to FASTQ... Read More about BulkVis: a graphical viewer for Oxford nanopore bulk FAST5 files.

Virtual genome walking across the 32 Gb Ambystoma mexicanum genome; assembling gene models and intronic sequence (2018)
Journal Article
Evans, T., D. Johnson, A., & Loose, M. (in press). Virtual genome walking across the 32 Gb Ambystoma mexicanum genome; assembling gene models and intronic sequence. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 618. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-19128-6

Large repeat rich genomes present challenges for assembly using short read technologies. The 32 Gb axolotl genome is estimated to contain ~19 Gb of repetitive DNA making an assembly from short reads alone effectively impossible. Indeed, this model sp...
