  • Effective genome sizes for peak calling

    Apologies to anyone who also received this message via the MACS google group!

    MACS requires the effective or mappable genome size for the reference genome used to map the NGS reads. What are people using for Drosophila melanogaster (DM3)?

    I currently have this information for the following genomes:

    Human (hg18) = 2700000000
    - from MACS manual

    Mouse (mm9) = 1865500000
    - from MACS announcement (based on 70% of the whole genome size)

    Yeast (sacCer?) = 12100000
    - from MACS announcement

    If anyone has this information for other genomes perhaps you would like to post them here?

    Thanks,
    Ian

    Thanks to Marco-Antonio MENDOZA-PARRA who replied to my MACS announcment posting:

    "...I would recommend to use the table that has published in the Peak-seq paper where they estimate a mappable genome size of 121,40 Mbs (72% total genome) for Drosophila Melanogaster."

    The paper in question can be found at PubMed: 19122651.

    Drosophila (dm3?) = 121400000

      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...
