  • Overall sequencing error rate estimation

    Hi,

    Given a Jellyfish output, I would like to estimate the overall sequencing error rate. We assume that the unique k-mers in this data set result from a single single-base error, and those are the only sequencing errors in the data set.
    Any pointers? Thanks!

    You'll get the most accurate results by assembling and mapping to the assembly. But if you want to assume that an error spawns 31 error kmers, then count the total number of kmers with depth less than the bottom of the first trough, and divide by 31, and you'll get a rough approximation of the number of errors. To be more accurate, I would do this (using the BBMap package):

    Code:
    tadpole.sh in=reads.fq out=contigs.fa
    bbmap.sh in=reads.fq mhist=mhist.txt ehist=ehist.txt

      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...
