  • Aligning paired end reads against a BAC

    Hello All,

    This is a question about annotation improvement using paired end RNA-seq reads. The following is the dataset I am working with.

    1) Sequenced BAC from Species A cultivar A: This is what I am annotating.
    2) Gene model transcripts from Species A cultivar B: Dataset that is getting aligned to the sequenced BAC and I have high confidence about its quality. So this is my gold set.
    3) Whole genome transcriptome paired-end reads from Species A cultivar A: This is what I want to use to improve the annotation of the BAC, for example making gene model edits. Also of high quality.

    My questions are,

    A) Should I align the paired-end reads directly to the BAC sequence using e.g. Bowtie, visualize in Apollo along with the other evidences such as (2) and then make corrections to the questionable models OR

    B) Should I align the paired-end reads to (2) first, then take these gene models and align to the BAC using e.g Gmap

    C) Is it advisable to take Whole genome transcriptome paired-end reads and align to a genome fragment such as a BAC.

    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...
