  • Ion Torrent PGM data analysis (BMP)

    Hello,

    I recently started using the Brazilian Microbiome Project pipeline (http://www.brmicrobiome.org/#!16sprofilingpipeline/cuhd) for 16s rRNA gene profiling with my Ion Torrent data and I came across some problems, which I think are related with the data, and not the scripts in particular, but I was hoping that someone could give me some suggestions, given the fact that I am still new in the field of bioinformatics and only used the standard QIIME workflow with 454 data.


    I have 10 fastq files corresponding to 10 different samples and they have already been pre-processed before getting to me, and both barcodes and forward primers were trimmed. However, I don't think any quality filtering step has been performed, so what I did was to perform quality filtering in each of the fastq files, converted them into fasta files, added sampleID labels, and merged all the fasta files into one only fasta file. Then I proceeded as the pipeline suggested, but my I don't think my "results.biom.table" file looks as it is supposed to look and I don't know what other alternatives I have. I attach a .txt file with what I did, as well as a snapshot of the "results.biom.file", since apparently I cannot upload it.


    I would like to have the raw .sff or .fastq file that comes out of the sequencer, so that I could perform something like split_libraries_fastq.py (QIIME) or fastq_strip_barcode_relabel2.py (UPARSE), but then my samples would only be 10 among all the remaining ones that were run simultaneoulsy in the chip and I don't have any information regarding them.


    I hope I managed to make myself clear. As I mentioned, I am still new at this, and maybe there's a very simple way to solve this.

    Another thing: Has anyone used the new script multiple_split_libraries_fastq.py that comes with the candidate version of QIIME 1.9.0 with PGM 16s data?


    Thank you very much in advance,

    Joana

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    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...
