  • MAQ and SNP calling

    Hello,
    I've used MAQ to call SNPs in Illumina data, it worked fine apart from the read depth. When I looked at the alignment using IGV the read depth is often alot more. Im sure theres a reason, can anyone tell me why?.

    Thank you

    Look at the default filtering: mapping quality etc. These may be reducing coverage (filtering reads) during SNP calling. This is a good thing, since poorly mapped reads or high-error reads may introduce artifacts.

        Well, the maq map output itself is binary. You can run the pileup command to give you the read bases and the quality at each position. Check the maq documentation and that should elaborate further what the columns in the output are.

          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...
