Structural Variation with 454 Reads
Does anyone out there know of a pipeline for looking at structural variation (inversions, chromosome scale translocations, etc) using 454 reads? I can imagine how I might fake it by splitting my reads up into faked paired ends and running them through algorithms intended for Illumina reads, but that doesn't really seem like the right way to do it.

We are currently trying to split all partially mapped reads and blatting these. Then we look for overlap of many reads showing the same mapping pattern. -
Hi wjeck,
This week 454 released a new version of our mapper/assembler software that provides for structural variation detection functionality. Other new features include the ability of handling up to human-sized genomes for assembly as well as de novo transcriptome assembly capability.
For more information you can follow up with your local Roche representative.
Best regards,

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
