DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btx771
Abstract: Motivation The haploid mammalian Y chromosome is usually under-represented in genome assemblies due to high repeat content and low depth due to its haploid nature. One strategy to ameliorate the low coverage of Y sequences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010821
Abstract: k-mer-based distances are often used to describe the differences between communities in metagenome sequencing studies because of their computational convenience and history of effectiveness. Although k-mer-based distances do not use information about taxon abundances, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1133593
Abstract: Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the most common pathogenic fungi, which results in high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Amphotericin B (AMB) is used as the core drug for the treatment of triazole-resistant A.… read more here.
