  • Determining quality of ChIP-seq data

    Hi all,

    I am brand new to ChIP-seq, and I'm doing some practice data analysis. I'm trying to determine whether any trimming or post processing is necessary before mapping the reads. Can anyone help me to interpret the following assays, and make this determination? It's quite possible that I'm not even looking in the right place, so any help would be appreciated.

    For example, sample GS-7:





    I am asking because the Galaxy Chip-seq tutorial assumes data of high quality, and I cannot necessarily make the same assumption.

    Thank you!

    Jeff,

    Always pre-process read data before downstream analysis. This includes adapter trimming and quality filtering even if you don't expect to find much if any adapter.

    As an aside you should perform an additional AmpureXP (or equivalent) clean up on these libraries before sequencing; many contain adapter dimer contamination (the small peak ~130bp). This is especially important if you plan to sequence them on a HiSeq 4000. Even a very small contamination of adapter dimer may produce a significant number of useless reads.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      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...
