  • Is there a conventional way to report sequencing stats for paired-end experiments?

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if there is a preferred way to report the read statistics (such as the number of uniquely aligned reads) specifically for paired-end experiments? We were asked to provide a Supplementary table with read counts for all of our ChIP-seq and RNA-seq experiments for our paper. All our experiments are paired-end sequencing, however, I failed to find a consistent way the sequencing stats are reported for this type of experiments in the papers: some people report number of reads, some - read pairs. Does it really matter? If someone could point me in the direction of a comprehensive guide with good practices of how this information should be reported in general, I would really appreciate it!

    P.S. I am also unclear about whether the number of reads before alignment has to be reported as well or only the number of uniquely aligned read used for the analysis is important.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    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...
