1. An assessment of the surrogate host metagenome-assembled genome decontamination for non-model host organisms : Proof-of-concept
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : In this study, a novel method has been assessed to bridge the gap between bioinformatics and ecological conservation efforts to gain evidence to further base conservational plans on. Herein, the validity of using a provisional host metagenome-assembled metagenome to decontaminate the data from host contamination was concluded. READ MORE

2. EVALUATING TRANSCRIPTOME ASSEMBLY POTENTIAL BY DIFFERENT DE NOVO SEQUENCE ASSEMBLER TYPES
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : With the rise of NGS technologies, the transcriptomes of non-model organisms can be reconstructed even with the absence of a reference genome, using de novo assembly tools. There is a wide range of de novo assembly tools frequently being developed, however, there is a still a knowledge gap about the different effects and efficiency of different de novo assembly software types for RNA-seq assembly.

3. Bioinformatic approaches for detecting homologous genes in the genomes of non-model organisms : A case study of wing development genes in insect genomes
University essay from Uppsala universitet/EvolutionsbiologiAbstract : Identifying homologous genes, that is genes from a common ancestor, is important in comparative genomic studies for understanding gene annotation and the predicted function of a gene. Several pieces of software, of which the most well-known is BLAST, have been developed for identifying homologues, but this can be challenging in non-model organisms where sometimes poor quality of genome assemblies and lack of annotation make it difficult to robustly identify homologues.

4. Transcriptome analysis of Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus) using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : The Atlantic herring is one of the most abundant fish species in the Northern hemisphere especially in the Northeast Atlantic. There are various stocks of this fish due to their spawning time and their vast distribution. READ MORE
