THAPBI PICT is a metabarcoding pipeline that processes Illumina paired-end reads, reduces noise, and classifies sequences using a curated database, providing interpretable outputs for non-specialists.

Planemo is a command-line toolkit for developing, deploying, and executing Galaxy tools and workflows, promoting best practices in scientific data analysis.

This paper assembles the genome of Pasteuria penetrans, revealing a reduced genome, host dependency, genomic plasticity, and BclA-like proteins potentially involved in attachment to nematodes.

The paper analyzes aphid genomes to understand gene evolution and horizontal gene transfer, finding shared transcriptional control of effector genes involved in parasitism.

Bioconda provides a sustainable, comprehensive distribution of bioinformatics software using Conda for reproducible analysis across platforms.

The paper integrates NCBI BLAST+ into Galaxy to enable sequence comparison workflows, making both simple and advanced BLAST tasks accessible.

The paper updates the SAM/BAM format to support de novo assemblies by adding features like padded references and embedded sequences.
