生命『種』という概念は不十分である。私たちは個でありユニタリーとしての解釈が強調される。生命とは、その境界を縁取る非自己に働く力学的平衡も含めた『図と地』の関係性に拠って観測される。 現象界において知覚するeventの全てをシナプス信号の解釈であるとする見方は、真実の一面のみでしかない。顕在化する事象は潜在構造の上澄みでしかない。信号の振る舞いは概念上の軌道に随伴して物質の挙動のassignmentを実行する。意識と事象の実在は多様体の異なるアングルである。 □ ISMB/ECCB 2019 : accepted papers: >>https://www.iscb.org/cms_addon/conferences/ismbeccb2019/proceedings.php ISMB/ECCB 2019, Basel, Switzerland, July 21 - July 25 □ Mi

Book Chapter Description

In daily practice of de novo genome assembly and gene prediction, it would be a natural urge to evaluate their products. Different programs and parameter settings give rise to variable outputs, which leaves a decision of which output to adopt for downstream analysis for addressing biological questions. Instead of superficial assessment of length-based statistics of output sequences (e.g., N50 scaffold length), completeness assessment by means of scoring the coverage of reference orthologs has been increasingly utilized. We previously launched a web service, gVolante (https://gvolante.riken.jp /), to provide a user-friendly interface and a uniform environment for completeness assessment with the pipelines CEGMA and BUSCO. Completeness assessments performed on gVolante report scores based on not just the coverage of reference genes but also on sequence lengths, allowing quality control in multiple aspects. This chapter focuses on the procedure for such assessment and provides technical tips for higher accuracy.
