  • Program to make consensus and call SNP?

    Hello All,

    I've got 2 distinct but related problems...well 3 problems if you count that I'm not a bioinformatician! I've just completed a pop. gen. microsatellite study using the MiSeq. I used a program to call the microsatellites and it did an excellent job. I think my questions probably have simple answers, but I'm a taxonomist, not a geneticist.

    Problem 1: In addition to the microsatellites, I also designed and ran 4 small fragment (<150b) mtDNA loci. When you look at the read files there is obvious variation within one individual from PCR/Sequencing error. I have about 1200 samples and some individuals have rather large depths. How can I most efficiently create consensus sequences for each of these 1200 samples?

    Problem 2: In addition to the microsatellites, I also designed and ran one locus to amplify a small fragment of the 5.8S for molecular species verification. There are 3 species which appear similar but can be separated using the 5.8S due to 2 SNPs. What is the best way to make a consensus sequence from all of the reads and to call the two SNPs? I have GENEIOUS but I'm not sure this will do the trick.

    Thanks for any insight you can provide and apologies if it's a noob question!

    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...
