  • Mapping to Genome- 'The Rules?'

    Hi guys,
    I am having trouble with the mapping-to-genome process. I have a dataset of illumine reads. I have filtered them accordingly. In generating this dataset, we included some canine genes. I have mapped the short canine reads to the dog genome using bowtie to determine how many of the reads are useful. I have since assembled the reads into larger contgs of ~400bp. I now want to determine the quality of these contigs. Is it better to use blast to 'map' these large contains to the canine genome or to attempt to map them using bwa, bowtie, novoalign or some other type of mapping algorithm? What is the general rules of mapping?
    Thank you!

    bwasw mode of BWA is probably the best way to map a modest number of reads/assemblies very quickly yet with high sensitivity. Plus, you'll have SAM output which can feed into a lot of downstream tools.

      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...
