    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?

              Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
              by SEQadmin2


              I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


              Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

              From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
              by SEQadmin2


              Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


              The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
