TL;DR: Ibis (Improved base identification system), an accurate, fast and easy-to-use base caller that significantly reduces the error rate and increases the output of usable reads is presented.

TL;DR: PTS is introduced, a simple, inexpensive and flexible barcoding technique that can be used for parallel sequencing any number and type of double-stranded nucleic acid samples that fully mobilizes the resources of the 454 technology for targeted sequencing.

TL;DR: It is shown that genetic diversity among Neandertals was remarkably low, and that they carried a higher proportion of amino acid-changing (nonsynonymous) alleles inferred to alter protein structure or function than present-day humans.

TL;DR: A tool suited for searching for many short nucleotide sequences in large databases, allowing for a predefined number of gaps and mismatches, using a non-deterministic automata matching algorithm on a keyword tree of the search strings.

TL;DR: An algorithm is introduced that removes the adaptors and reconstructs the original DNA sequences using a Bayesian maximum a posteriori probability approach, which is faster, and provides a more accurate reconstruction of the original sequence for both simulated and ancient DNA data sets, than other approaches.
