    Illumina Whole Exome coverage

    Before I send some samples off for whole exome sequencing is there a way to check the coverage of the region that I'm interested in?

    Ideally a track on UCSC genome browser or the Savant genome browser would be great.

    Thanks

    I like to load the BED file of the capture probes in IGV and take a look.

    If you go to Illumina's iCom site, go to downloads and do a .bed search. Download the following, you can load into UCSC, Savant, IGV, etc. and take a look.

    TruSeq Exome Targeted Regions BED file

    This gzipped file (TruSeq_exome_targeted_regions.hg19.chr.bed.gz) contains information on the Targeted Exons in the TruSeq Exome product (201,071 regions). It can be loaded into UCSC Genome Browser to visualize specific target regions or to compare with other data of interest accesible via UCSC Browser's tables function. This BED file has 6 columns 1 chromosome 2 chromStart (zero-based) first position of the feature 3 chromEnd (zero-based) first position after the feature 4 name (chromosome:chromStart-chromEnd:gene) 5 length (chromEnd-chromStart) 6 strand (all targets mapped to the plus strand = +)

      Thanks for the suggestion, but to get the data from the iCom site you need an account, and you can't seem to get an account without previously placing an order.

      Is the BED file available on a FTP somewhere?

      Thanks

            Now that I have the Illumina whole exome BED file and a BED file of the region of interest, is there a way to get the computer to subtract one from the other to give me regions that are coding but not covered by the Illumina data?

              Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
              by SEQadmin2



              CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

              Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

              Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
              by SEQadmin2


              Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

              The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
