bioboxes: a standard for creating interchangable bioinformatics software containers
Bioboxes simplify getting and using bioinformatics software. This short guide illustrates this using an example scenario where you would like to assemble some Illumina reads into contigs. This is a common situation for anyone who works in genomics. The purpose of this guide is to illustrate how bioboxes work and this could then be applied for any application for which a biobox exists, not only genome assembly. Source Link

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have typically focused on the analysis of single markers, which often lacks the power to uncover the relatively small effect sizes conferred by most genetic variants (wang el al Nat Rev Genet 2010).

The shell provides you with an interface to the UNIX system. It gathers input from you and executes programs based on that input. When a program finishes executing, it displays that program’s output. The basic concept of a shell script is a list of commands, which are listed in the order of execution. What is Shells?

Codon usage bias refers to differences in the frequency of occurrence of synonymous codons in coding DNA. A codon is a series of three nucleotides (a triplet) that encodes a specific amino acid residue in a polypeptide chain or for the termination of translation (stop codons).

CRISPRs (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) are segments of prokaryotic DNA containing short repetitions of base sequences. Each repetition is followed by short segments of spacer DNA from previous exposures to a bacterial virus or plasmid.

Circos is a software package for visualizing data and information. It visualizes data in a circular layout – this makes Circos ideal for exploring relationships between objects or positions. There are other reasons why a circular layout is advantageous, not the least being the fact that it is attractive. Circular Visualization in R Package source: circlize
MongoDB (from humongous) is a cross-platform document-oriented database. Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster. Released under a combination of the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License, MongoDB is free and open-source software.

The field is analogous to genomics and proteomics, which are the study of the genome and proteome of a cell (Russell 2010 p. 217 & 230). Epigenetic modifications are reversible modifications on a cell’s DNA or histones that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence (Russell 2010 p. 475).
