  • Data issues...

    Hi all,

    I am working with some exome sequencing data. I have done the mapping, pileup, filtering and variant calling. After all that... my data look weird, I am getting A LOT of homozygous calls and when annotating most of them are not in dbSNP. These things make me suspicious about my data. Also, I checked a few of the heterozygous SNPs and 1/10 was actually heterozygous.
    Does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong with my data??? Is there a way to check if the sequencing actually worked, besides relying on the Phred-like scores???

    Thank you!

    One sanity check is to see what % of your reads mapped to the genome. If that is very low (like less than 10%), something could be wrong.

      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...
