Identifying horizontally acquired elements in bacterial genomes
Contributed by Cory Schlesener Bacterial genomes are composed of diverse genetic elements. Many of these elements are not exclusively passed down a parental lineage (vertically acquired), but can also be horizontally acquired from other bacteria of varying degrees of relatedness. As bacteria are … Continue reading

A genetic clue on RNA virus tissue tropism (selection by ZAP)
Contributed by Cory Schlesener It is useful to apply known biological concepts to empower bioinformatics to make the most out of analyzing genetic sequences (in proper context). Here is an example of a simple genetic analysis that can carry a … Continue reading

Why a biologist should code
Contributed by DJ Darwin Bandoy, DVM I personally believe that biology is a big data puzzle. That is also the main reason why I took my PhD in the Weimer lab with the 100K Pathogen Genome Project. But when I … Continue reading
