  • How to best use my lab data to check my alignment??

    Dear All,

    These are three different pipelines I've used to call SNPs on the same samples:

    1) Raw FastQ File --> Direct Mapping to Reference --> SNP discovered 1,200

    2) Raw FastQ File --> De Novo Assembly --> Extract Paired Contigs --> Map Paired Contigs to Reference --> SNPs discovered 1,089

    3) Raw FastQ File --> De Novo Assembly --> Extract All Contigs --> Map Contigs to Reference --> SNPs discovered 1,383

    I know from lab data that the consensus sequence produced by method number 2 is closest to the consensus sequence of the bacteria in reality that was sequenced. Does this make method 2 (and it's associated mapped reads) more reliable for SNP calling????

    Very keen to receive as many views as possible on this and your reasons as to why/why not.

    Many thanks in advance

    How well worked out is the reference sequence? Do trends in the SNPs that are specific to one method follow trends that are common for all SNPs (ie, similar Ti/Tv ratio for unique calls as for high calls, for example)?

      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...
