    Sequence Bias in Bisulphite Sequencing Mapped Reads

    Hello,

    I have created a post also in Biostars but the community did not have an answer to my post so I will try here. (here is the question in biostars https://www.biostars.org/p/259801/)

    I have performed with Bismark the M-Bias Plot and my reads looks as follow.




    as far as I am understanding the end of read 1 is showing a decrease in the CpG Methylation at the 3'end as well as the CHH total and CHG in the total call. The strange thing is the read 2 in which I can observe a drop Immediately after the first 5 nucleotides for all the type of of Methylation combination (CHH total, CHG total, CHH methylation etc..). How should I have to interpret this? To me it sounds like the read 2 look quite bad in therms of nucleotide composition, and only the CpG methylation bias is showing a good pattern. Does anyone has experienced a similar problem?

    In the bismark tutorial they clearly show that Read1 and Read2 have similar pattern (see here at page 16 https://www.bioinformatics.babraham....User_Guide.pdf )

    Any comment is really appreciated.
    Cheers

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    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...
