  • Mapping to a custom reference

    I have whole genome sequencing data (HiSeq, 100 bp paired end, 20X coverage, mouse genome) that I'd like to map to a custom reference of about 14.5 Kb. Tools like BWA are designed for large reference genomes. Does it make sense to attempt an alignment using BWA? I have access to Galaxy Tools and Genome Quest. Thanks!

    yes. i think bwa is better. if you are working on the mouse genome, while not try to align the sequence to the full genome at first , and then cut the appropriated region you needed. The result will be better than it you mapping to reference sequence directly.

      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...
