    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?

              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.

              Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
              by SEQadmin2



              Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

              Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
              by SEQadmin2



              Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

              There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
