CoComputational Resources on Assembling Genomes

raghavagps · 01-17-2010, 10:56 AM

Dear Colleagues, I am scientist ( http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/ ) working in the field of Bioinformatics, we are interested to assist the scientific community working in the filed of genome sequencing. We got impression that assembling of genomes is major problem. We are not expert in genome sequencing of assemblers but we have experience in the field of bioinformatics. We need help of other members so we may contribute in this field efficiently. Following are major question we have in our mind

i) Is anybody/site is providing facility to assemble genomes from short reads
ii) What are major sites which are providing comprehensive information on techniques of genome assembly
iii) What type of information or service our academicians are looking for

Your suggestions are very important for us as we are new and we are really interested to help our experimental biologists.

Our draft site is at http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/crag/
