I noticed that information on SNP calling and SNP discovery (especially!) software for NGS is quite scarce. Are there any good tools available from non-commercial sources? Could you suggest any titles (and corresponding URLs) one would want to look at? I am specifically looking for solutions for a robust secondary data analysis pipeline in a non-profit environment, for the data from virtually all platforms/read lengths, including 454, Illumina, SOLiD, and future platforms suich as PacBio, Ion Torrent, etc. Maybe we could start a list of such software here, with some details on which software is best for what kind of data. Thanks!

I've found MAQ to be very good tool for SNP calling, but I'm not sure if it can handle larger reads. I use it with Illumina data.

Check out the genome analysis tool kit (GATK) developed at the Broad:
The UnifiedGenotyper is one of the task this toolkit has, but there are plenty of other great tools there. Good luck!

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...-
