  • how to determine a snp ?

    hi, i resequenced a mutated bacteria genome, and want to detect the mutation information. at a position, i found half of the reads mapped are different from the reference, and half are the same . so some software reported it as snp, and some not. how to determine it as a SNP. how did this happened.
    thanks.

    It could be a heterozygous SNP. Also errors can/will always occur (in sequencing, mapping), you might want to look at quality values as well.

      Hi,

      if you encounter an interesting SNP in your analysis, the quickest way to determine if it's real or not would be to confirm it with an independant method like PCR + Sanger ...

        If you have a very small number of SNPs, validate them by eye. Display the alignments at the SNP position and see if the call makes sense. Ultimately of course validate via sanger.

          yes, i did it by eye through Tablet. i found some reads aligned are A and some aligned are G. if all these reads are unique, how should i determinate? thaks

            Post here a screenshot of the alignments (tablet) for one of the snps and then we can discuss. The original SAM alignments for the SNP would help also.

              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...
