I am a beginner. I want to learn BWA and MAQ. My question is that where I can download the ref.fasta and read.fastq file, which should be a small genome because the small memory in my computer.

Look for reference genomes in NCBI. MAQ is nice because it does a lot of things for you, but it's been superseded by other software suites. bwa for alignment and either SAMTools or GATK would be more useful in the long run. MAQ's algorithm is also much slower than bwa, but it won't matter much for something small, like a bacterium. -

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
