I am looking for a software package, or R script for generating the coordinates for a heat map of repeat density. I have a repeat library, and a table of repeat locations (via RepeatMasker), but there is some overlap between repeats. Are there any good programs that can do this? My goal is to incorporate this into a circos plot.

If you convert your table of repeats into BED format, you can use BEDtools to count up the overlaps in bins across the genome. I created BED files tiled across the genome in whatever increments I wanted for the Circos plot, then used BEDtools to count up the BED features within each bin. Depending upon the detail you need, you can either use coverageBed or "intersectBed -c" to calculate the overlap counts per tile. BEDtools is also blazing fast.

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...-

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...-
