  • ROI_Mapping: difference between Mapped ROI total and Mapped ROI total (bp)

    Hello,
    I am new to PacBio and SMRT sequencing. Today I submit the job through SMRT portal: ROI_mapping and received the analysis back. However, on the job metrics, it showed Mapped ROI total = 53075 and Mapped ROI total (bp) = 127,933,383. What is different between these two terms? I am so confused.

    Please help!

    Thanks in advance.

    The first is the number of reads, the second the number of base pairs mapped.

      Thank you for your reply. But the number of reads meaning number of "base" read, is it correct?

      The number of base pairs should be twice of the number of reads but in this case is not.

      Can you clarify me on this?

      Thank you very much.

        A read is the fragment of DNA being sequenced, on pacbio this is not a fixed length, but is dependent on how the DNA was fragmented and if specific sizes of fragments are selected for. The number of mapped bases is the number of individual bases (ACGT) that map to the reference. Mapped bases / mapped reads = mean read length, in this case ~2,000 with is consistent with a short pacbio library.

            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...
