  • How to detect real deletion or gaps in sequencing projects

    Dear all

    We have 3 genomes sequenced of 11, 15 and 23 fold coverage by 454 Sequencer. At least more than 10kb of the gap regions (defined by unsuccessful reference mapping) are coding regions containing little repetitive sequences. Interestingly, these gap regions appear quite concordantly among the 3 genomes.

    Would anybody know how to utilize the scaffold files or related in order to check whether they are real gaps or not? Automation cannot be done if the process has to be studied by manually comparing the results generated by reference mapper and de novo assembler.

    _________ ................ ________
    |..............|................|..........|
    |.ATTTCC..|---------->| CGCCC |
    |_________|................|______|

    Say, in reference genome, it is:
    ATTTCCTTAGGAACGCCC

    can we have a quick way to identify ATTTCCCGCCC (not to do that manually…) so to confirm the genome has deletion of (TTAGGAA) or not?

    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...
