String manipulation in Bash is a game-changer for bioinformatics & data processing. Rename files, extract substrings, and replace text—without external tools. Here’s how to do it efficiently 🧵👇
Important Update! As of December 2024, NCBI's pilot tool, Read assembly and Annotation Pipeline (RAPT) tool will no longer be available. We encourage you to check out NCBI’s suite of assembly and annotation tools. Learn more: https://t.co/Gx6B5OBfMa
Scott Hickey shares why you no longer need Sanger sequencing for routine sequencing of amplicons, plasmids, bacterial isolates, & clone validation.
Nanopore technology is faster, has longer reads that provide superior coverage, and is more cost-effective. #nanoporeconf
