What is your recommendation for analyzing bisulphit data? There are very few tools with various output (generally non human readable) and performance (Socs-B, Bathmeth, Bsolana, Pass) but I think we don't find the real one, yet.

Bisulfite sequencing and solid is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad idea. -
13 very's seems a little harsh, but I agree with the sentiment. If you have any kind of choice then using colourspace for BS-Seq is best avoided. The techniques used for mapping of BS-Seq data in base space don't naturally extend to colorspace so you have to make somewhat uncomfortable compromises about how to do the analysis.
Having said that, if you have to go ahead with this then we'd probably recommend BSolana. We talked a lot with the authors when they were writing it and they were well aware of the limitations of the platform and made a reasonable compromise to get the best they could out of this type of data. It might be worth noting that they moved to Illumina sequencing not long after writing Bsolana though!Comment

I agree with you, B-Solana is a good compromise but unfortunately we have some program errors with this on the latest linuxes. I'll set up a VM with an older version of Ubuntu/CentOS etc. and give it a last try.Originally posted by simonandrews View PostComment

Have you tried contacting the authors? They're nice guys and may be able to offer a quick fix. If it worked on older linux versions it's probably a really trivial fix.Comment

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
