  • Regarding fastq file format

    I downloaded a file from 1000 genomes.
    ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1....filt.fastq.gz

    The contents look like this:

    @SRR040813.1390 VAB_0100_20091102_2_SL_AWG_TG_NA19150_000pA_01003244543_12_21_53/1

    As per my knowledge, the second line should be a sequence of A,T, G, C, N. Is this a corrupted file or is it a different way of representing the gene data in fastq file?

    Looks like Colorspace:
    Generated by all sequencers from the solid and 5500ish sequencers sequencers from ABI. The numbers represent colors instead of actual bases while the dot represents positions where no actual color read could be obtained. See this paper for an overview of the technology: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19997069

    Hope that helps

        Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
        by seqadmin


        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...

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        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...
