  • HTS Mappers!

    Anyone vounteer to update the wiki ;-)




    Motivation: A ubiquitous and fundamental step in high-throughput sequencing analysis is the alignment (mapping) of the generated reads to a reference sequence. To accomplish this task numerous software tools have been proposed. Determining the mappers that are most suitable for a specific application is not trivial.

    Results: This survey focuses on classifying mappers through a wide number of characteristics. The goal is to allow practitioners to compare the mappers more easily and find those that are most suitable for their specific problem.

    Availability: A regularly updated compendium of mappers can be found at http://wwwdev.ebi.ac.uk/fg/hts_mappe...g/hts_mappers/.

    A comparison of accuracy would have been nice...

      I was thinking to organize a 'mapathon' on the wiki.... how would you recommend benchmarking accuracy?

        That would be AWESOME! I think we should query SEQanswers folks and vote on a number of metrics... this would be fun group project...

          Cool! It shouldn't be too hard either, but we need to have clear guidelines about what to measure and how, so that results are comparable across mappers. The only other thing we need is a dataset and a place to host it...

            I'd recommend using % reads mapped and the # of reads mapped uniquely as part of the evaluation, and keep in mind that the # of known heterozygotes is a measure of sensitivity, NOT accuracy. My two cents.

              Should we generate data so we have a 'gold standard'? Or just work with metrics based on consistency, speed, and coverage?

                Are you talking about simulated or real?

                  Simulated reads from real genomes.

                  We could simulate a range of 'noise' across a series of error models and produce reads characteristic of a variety of technologies... there must be software to do this already right?

                    There is and we have these datasets already. I would be happy to share. We did a number of tests with this dataset for a manuscript we are sending out.

                      Fabulous! Please link to the datasets, and I'll try to put wheels in motion via the wiki :-)

                        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...
