About the read depth of coverage

[El Mariachi]

Hello,

I am a beginner. I want to find all the copy number variations

in the genome of pig by the Illumina/Solexa Squencing but I do not

know what the coverage will be proper---20x, 10x, 5x, 1x, or smaller?

If the coverage is too high, the cost will also increase too much.

Thanks in advance.

Take a look to the CNV analysis tools in the wiki. Some of them have publications
associated. You'll see they work with pretty low coverage.

Thank you for your suggestion, I am going to have a try between 1x and 4x.
