I have a small query regarding the whole genome re-sequencing of a human genome using SOLiD system from ABI. We have very little amount of DNA and we are able to only make 2 mate pair libraries form it(25 microgram each). Our main interest is to detect genetic variations. We are planning to run 4 slides from one library,pulling it form 8 ePCRs(we will club 2 ePCR products to make one slide) so that we utilize maximum number of beads. We are expecting 8x-10x coverage after running both the libraries. Now I would like to know, is is sufficient coverage to determine true variants and other variation like indel? If it is sufficient coverage what is suggested threshold to call SNPs?

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
