  • how to align concatenated and sheared sequences?

    Hi,

    I enriched DNA targets by PCR, them concatenated (ligated) the DNA and sheared it to get ~300 bp sequences.
    The problem is that each read may include sequences from two different genomic regions.
    The sequencing was performed with HiSeq PE x 100.
    How can I do the alignment with free software?

    In regular enrichments (RNA hybridization) I'm just using bwa and samtools, but I don't know if it is suitable for this case as well?

    Thanks,
    Lilach

    I think that's going to be ugly; with short reads, you need speed, and you can't break apart 100 Mreads a thousand ways each to see how the two ends might best map on separate reference sequences.

    You could try making concatenated reference sequence for those reads to align to.

      Thanks for the answer, although I hope there will be an easier way...
      I know what will be the PCR products. Is there any efficient algorithm that can concatenate these known sequences in all possible ways and "break" to pieces, to see what I get? Then I could align my results to this database?
      But I still have to "label" somehow each PCR product before the concatenation to know where it came from? or at least where are the end points or original sequences?

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        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...

        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...
