  • 454 paired-end or single-end?

    Hi,

    We have recently received 454 targeted sequencing data, and I am having trouble finding if the data is paired-end or single-end. Where can I find this information? I am looking to detect copy number variation from the reads, and therefore need to know if I should be using the pairs or split-read info.

    The original targets were enriched using one sequence capture array. The raw data reads reported fall in two regions (even though there are 4 samples, each has a separate MID tag). Do these two 'regions' correspond to different pairs?

    Thank you!

    They aren't paired. You can verify this by assembling the data with the 454 assembler - if it was paired, the assembler will tell you this. But because it's SeqCap i guarantee it's not paired. The 2 regions correspond to the 2 physical regions of the PTP - there are 2 independent flow cells on each run and they each get their own data file.

      I am not sure how you are estimating your CNV, I would guess assembly is done computational and highly similar sequence will typically collapse into one unit and this will definitely result in underestimation of the copy number of the sequences

        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...
