Improving ShortStack performance on highly fragmented genomes

Highly fragmented reference genomes (with thousands or more short contigs or scaffolds) have been a persistent challenge for our small RNA-seq analysis program ShortStack. During a run, ShortStack needs to retrieve genomic sub-sequences for analysis of predicted RNA secondary structure. … Continue reading

ShortStack now on iPlant

A big thanks to Nate Johnson for coordinating the loading of ShortStack 3.3 onto iPlant’s Discovery Environment. There is now a ‘public app’ for ShortStack on the discovery environment. Just search ‘ShortStack’ in the apps. This will allow users to … Continue reading

Annotation of miRNAs and phasiRNAs from Norway Spruce

This week I selected a recent article by Xia et al. (2015) titled “Extensive Families of miRNAs and PHAS Loci in Norway Spruce Demonstrate the Origins of Complex phasiRNA Networks in Seed Plants” (doi: 10.1093/molbev/msv164, PMID: 26318183) for our journal club … Continue reading
