    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2018 19(Suppl 7):218
  9. With ever increasing accessibility to high throughput technologies, more complex treatment structures can be assessed in a variety of ’omics applications. This adds an extra layer of complexity to the analysis...

    Authors: Kirsty L. Hassall and Andrew Mead
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2018 19(Suppl 7):199
  10. De novo assembly of RNA-seq data allows the study of transcriptome in absence of a reference genome either if data is obtained from a single organism or from a mixed sample as in metatranscriptomics studies. G...
