I know Quiver and GATK have been bundled in SMRT pipeline to call variants (the GATK module only finds SNPs though). I'm wondering if there are other tool(s) that can be used for this purpose, especially to find large indels. Thanks.

I have an unsupported version of BLASR that does better alignment across large gaps. I have used this to simply count indel variants (really mobile element insertion) using PacBio reads. PM me if you want access to this; I've been hesitant to post it online since it is on a branch that is not updated with bug fixes, etc.. The unsupported version uses an affine alignment penalty. Without this, bases tend to "bleed" out into gaps and make it difficult to call exactly where a gap is.

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 on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
