TL;DR: The present Bioconda, a distribution of bioinformatics software for the lightweight, multi-platform and language-agnostic package manager Conda, improves analysis reproducibility by allowing users to define isolated environments with defined software versions.
Abstract: We present Bioconda (https://bioconda.github.io), a distribution of bioinformatics software for the lightweight, multi-platform and language-agnostic package manager Conda. Currently, Bioconda offers a collection of over 3000 software packages, which is continuously maintained, updated, and extended by a growing global community of more than 200 contributors. Bioconda improves analysis reproducibility by allowing users to define isolated environments with defined software versions, all of which are easily installed and managed without administrative privileges.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present CRISPResso2 to analyze base editors, perform allele-specific quantification or incorporate biologically-informed and scalable alignment approaches, and demonstrate its functionality by experimentally measuring and analyzing the editing properties of six genome editing agents.
Abstract: Genome editing technologies are rapidly evolving, and analysis of deep sequencing data from target or off-target regions is necessary for measuring editing efficiency and evaluating safety. However, no software exists to analyze base editors, perform allele-specific quantification or that incorporates biologically-informed and scalable alignment approaches. Here, we present CRISPResso2 to fill this gap and illustrate its functionality by experimentally measuring and analyzing the editing properties of six genome editing agents.

TL;DR: This paper reported genome-wide ancient DNA from 44 ancient Near Easterners ranging in time between ~12,000 and 1,400 bc, from Natufian hunter-gatherers to Bronze Age farmers, showing that the earliest populations of the Near East derived around half their ancestry from a 'Basal Eurasian' lineage that had little if any Neanderthal admixture and that separated from other non-African lineages before their separation from each other.
Abstract: We report genome-wide ancient DNA from 44 ancient Near Easterners ranging in time between ~12,000 and 1,400 bc, from Natufian hunter–gatherers to Bronze Age farmers. We show that the earliest populations of the Near East derived around half their ancestry from a ‘Basal Eurasian’ lineage that had little if any Neanderthal admixture and that separated from other non-African lineages before their separation from each other. The first farmers of the southern Levant (Israel and Jordan) and Zagros Mountains (Iran) were strongly genetically differentiated, and each descended from local hunter–gatherers. By the time of the Bronze Age, these two populations and Anatolian-related farmers had mixed with each other and with the hunter–gatherers of Europe to greatly reduce genetic differentiation. The impact of the Near Eastern farmers extended beyond the Near East: farmers related to those of Anatolia spread westward into Europe; farmers related to those of the Levant spread southward into East Africa; farmers related to those of Iran spread northward into the Eurasian steppe; and people related to both the early farmers of Iran and to the pastoralists of the Eurasian steppe spread eastward into South Asia.
