  • Number of runs required SNP detection transcriptome

    Hello,
    I am just planning my first use of Solexa/Illumina sequencing.
    I'm hoping to use this to sequence the transcriptome of a non-model small mammal in order to identify SNPs. RNA from several different individuals and tissues would be pooled for sequencing.
    Can anyone tell me, approximately how many sequencing runs I would need to obtain adequate coverage in order to do this?
    Thanks very much,
    Tom

    Tom,

    No answer here, but I'm in a similar boat and was waiting to see if anyone had an answer to your question. I've got a mustard that is 85-90% similar in nucleotide sequences of coding regions to Arabidopsis thaliana. I think I'll need to assemble de novo, then tBlastx my contigs to the Arabidopsis unigenes. Has anyone tried this for transcriptomes of non-model (but close to model) systems?

      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...
