      Copepods encompass numerous ecological roles including parasites, detrivores and phytoplankton grazers. Nonetheless, copepod genome assemblies remain scarce. Lepeophtheirus salmonis is an economically and ecologically ...
    • SeeCiTe: a method to assess CNV calls from SNP arrays using trio data 

      Lavrichenko, Ksenia; Helgeland, Øyvind; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus; Jonassen, Inge; Johansson, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Motivation Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping arrays remain an attractive platform for assaying copy number variants (CNVs) in large population-wide cohorts. However, current tools for calling CNVs are still ...
    • Systematic exploration of error sources in pyrosequencing flowgram data 

      Balzer, Susanne Mignon; Malde, Ketil; Jonassen, Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)
      Motivation: 454 pyrosequencing, by Roche Diagnostics, has emerged as an alternative to Sanger sequencing when it comes to read lengths, performance and cost, but shows higher per-base error rates. Although there are several ...
