Relaxed Lockdown in Bangladesh During COVID-19: Should Economy Outweigh Health?

BlackOPs: increasing confidence in variant detection through mappability filtering

Identifying variants using high-throughput sequencing data is currently a challenge because true biological variants can be indistinguishable from technical artifacts. One source of technical artifact results from incorrectly aligning experimentally observed sequences to their true genomic origin ('mismapping') and inferring differences in mismapped sequences to be true variants. We developed B...
