  • How to visualise alignments with different read lengths?

    Hi,

    Does anyone know of a tool that can be used to view alignments of short reads to a reference when the short reads are of different lengths? We have 36bp and 51bp Illumina paired end read datasets and using the LookSeq tool it has not been possible to view the reads of different length at the same time. Anone any suggestions for an alternative visualisation tool? Thanks.

    and good old clustalw


    are where I'd start.

      There is a basic text viewer in SAMtools as well.

        You might want to try Broad Institute's Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) (http://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/). Among other things, it enables the visualization of the mapped reads with the reference genome sequence and a feature table. No complicated installation steps to take.

          You can also do this with SeqMonk. Just select the genome you aligned against, point it at your sorted or export file from Eland and off you go.

              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...
