DNASTAR’s Structural Biology Suite includes epitope prediction methods that allow you to predict B-cell epitopes based on protein sequence data. You can then view predicted epitopes and antigenic regions along your sequence and structure and compare predictions to other characteristics, such as surface probability. Watch this week’s video to predict and view epitopes in DNASTAR’s Structural Biology Suite.

This week, get insider tips and tricks on de novo genome assembly from Senior Manager of NGS Applications Matthew Keyser. Our most recent blog post details how to assess your RAM needs based on your data type and desired coverage. Read on to learn more about our de novo workflow as applied to four Illumina data sets, and the resulting analysis of RAM requirements.

DNASTAR’s MegAlign Pro application allows you to generate phylogenetic trees to predict evolutionary relationships. You then have the ability to customize these trees in terms of color, layout, and styling options for use in your publications. Finally, you also have the option to export these trees to external tree viewers or to MegAlign for additional analysis. Watch this week’s video to learn more about creating phylogenetic trees in MegAlign Pro.

With decreasing costs of obtaining next-generation sequencing data, the challenge becomes less about available data and more about researchers determining meaningful correlations. The right data analysis tools facilitate discovery of the solutions to Mendelian and complex diseases, and DNASTAR offers an easy-to-use software pipeline for these types of association studies. Read our blog article to learn more about this workflow.

Please join us at the BioConference Live Genetics and Genomics event from May 13th to 14th. DNASTAR’s Matthew Keyser will be presenting a talk entitled “DNASTAR Software For Accurate Variant Detection and Validation in Targeted Gene Panel Data Sets” on May 13th at 12:00 PST. Our virtual exhibit booth will be open during the entire conference. Come chat with DNASTAR representatives, and learn about our latest software solutions. We hope to see you there!

DNASTAR’s automated genome closure workflow allows you to save valuable time and resources by greatly reducing the need for manual finishing of your assembled project to address gaps caused by structural variants, such as insertions and deletions. De novogenome closure now requires dramatically less work, reducing the number of unresolved structural variants. Watch this week’s video to learn more.
