    Harvestman: a framework for hierarchical feature learning and selection from whole genome sequencing data

    Supervised learning from high-throughput sequencing data presents many challenges. For one, the curse of dimensionality often leads to overfitting as well as issues with scalability. This can bring about inacc...

    Decoding the massive genome of loblolly pine using haploid DNA and novel assembly strategies

    The size and complexity of conifer genomes has, until now, prevented full genome sequencing and assembly. The large research community and economic importance of loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L., made it an early ca...
