  • Amplicon based sequencing Mutation Calling

    Hi!

    We are investigating the effect of TF-mediated mutations on genome. In the validation part, we narrowed our regions to 1. We sequenced a region and upstream of it and obtained ~100 k coverage with paired end reads. We want to compare mutation frequency between TF-binding and upstream regions. (interested in SNV/small indels).

    I have two questions. One is about mapping and the other is about mutation calling.

    1) Mapping: I use bowtie2 with default conditions. What if my reads are not mapped due to those mutations, so that those reads are discarded ? Shouldn't I decrease the stringency of mapping in mutation calling cases ?

    I used bowtie2 with default settings and obtained %97 mapping.

    2) Mutation calling: I used samtools mpileup —> bcftools call but did not get any mutations in the ranges of our region of interest. I found UNDR ROVER caller that might work for me but any suggestion would be really appreciated.

    TL;DR I am looking for a mutation caller that is focused on targeted region mutations.

    Thank you very much

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
