The paper introduces a pipeline for assessing and comparing genome assembly quality using multiple metrics and tools.

The paper evaluates containerization practices in bioinformatics, finding that most containers fail to build or pull, with version control activity predicting success.

The paper generates a molecular map of the avian trunk and tailbud using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, identifying cell lineages and spatially restricted genes.

The paper introduces tfboot, an R package for statistically evaluating TFBS disruption in gene sets using bootstrapping methods.

The paper validates the ForenSeq Kintelligence kit for forensic genetic genealogy, demonstrating reliable SNP profiles from low-input and degraded samples.

k2v converts Kintelligence sequencing data into VCF files, enabling use of existing tools for genetic analysis.

This study validates the Illumina Infinium assay using the Global Screening Array (GSA) for forensic applications according to SWGDAM guidelines, showing high SNP call rates and sample quality assessment methods.

vcferr simulates SNP genotyping errors in VCF files to assess their impact on kinship analysis.

The paper describes a portable sequencing pipeline for detecting harmful algal blooms using environmental DNA from Lake Erie, showing significant differences in HAB-associated taxa abundance before and after a bloom.

The paper introduces the skater R package for SNP-based kinship analysis, testing, and evaluation, providing tools for pedigree data handling and relationship degree inference.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze maternal-fetal interface cell types and identifies sex-specific differences in immune cell function and regulatory pathways.
