    About the read depth of coverage

    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.

        Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

        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...

        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.
