NextGenMap: Fast and accurate read mapping in highly polymorphic genomes
TLDR
NextGenMap is reported, a fast and accurate read mapper, which aligns reads reliably to a reference genome even when the sequence difference between target and reference genome is large, i.e. highly polymorphic genome.Abstract:
Summary: When choosing a read mapper, one faces the trade off between speed and the ability to map reads in highly polymorphic regions. Here, we report NextGenMap, a fast and accurate read mapper, which reduces this dilemma. NextGenMap aligns reads reliably to a reference genome even when the sequence difference between target and reference genome is large, i.e. highly polymorphic genome. At the same time, NextGenMap outperforms current mapping methods with respect to runtime and to the number of correctly mapped reads. NextGenMap efficiently uses the available hardware by exploiting multi-core CPUs as well as graphic cards (GPUs), if available. In addition, NextGenMap handles automatically any read data independent of read length and sequencing technology.

Modulation of ADARs mRNA expression in congenital heart defect patients
TL;DR: It is proposed that sufficient amounts of ADAR2 might play a vital role in preventing cardiovascular defects, and aberrant expression of these miRNAs is often associated with cardiac defects.

Entire genome transcription across evolutionary time exposes non-coding DNA
Rafik Neme,Diethard Tautz +1 more
TL;DR: In the best studied Mammalian genomes, less than 5% of the total genome length is annotated as exonic as discussed by the authors, however, deep sequencing analysis in humans has shown that around 40 % of the genome may be covered by exonic regions.

mapping algorithms for genome-wide polymorphism scans with Pool-Seq data
TL;DR: It is shown that the intersection of the results of two mapping algorithms provides a simple, yet effective strategy to eliminate false positives, and it is proposed that the implementation of a consistent Pool-seq bioinformatics pipeline can substantially increase the reliability of Pool-Seq results, in particular when libraries generated with different protocols are being compared.
