Hi all - I'm getting (my first) Ion Torrent data set from a collaborator. It appears I have to use the Torrent Suite application which is only available on the Ion Torrent Cloud or downloaded as a VM. Are there any other options for mapping Ion Torrent data?

Originally posted by GenoMax View PostIon torrent can produce normal fastq format files as one of the options. You should be able to use any standard mapping program with these files.
Compressed SFF, Fastq files can be downloaded off the server to be used in your favourite applications, or an alignment can be run on the server giving you a bam file

After talking with some of the Ion Torrent reps, they recommend using TMAP and their own variant caller. Information can be found at the Ion Community (requires signing up). Both their aligner and variant caller can use the flow intensity information and have been optimized for their sequencer, so could possibly give you better alignments and calls than a pipeline optimized for a light-based sequencer (although I haven't put that to the test).

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

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...-
