  • mapping tool for short and long reads

    Hi,

    Please forgive if this had been asked before.

    I need one tool to map illumina short paired end reads (150bp) and Pacbio long reads to a genome. Usually I used bowtie2 for short reads, and blasr for Pacbio reads. But I have no idea if there is one tool work for both type of data.

    I found one paper used blat but can blat handle paired-end reads? Please give some suggestions. Thanks!

    I'm sure bbmap can do that.
    STAR works very well with Illumina reads and the guys from Pacific Bioscience did some parameter optimisation to have it also working for PacBio reads (see here).

    Cheers,

    Michael

      bwa mem also works with both short and long reads.

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          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...

          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...
