  • Genetic map with RAD-seq data

    NOTE: I tried to explain my question better here: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65681

    Dear all,

    I have some RAD-seq data from nematodes (2 parents, ~100 progeny) which I want to use to cluster my genomic scaffolds into linkage groups (ideally each group would be a chromosome).

    The genome has been frozen and is now annotated.

    I performed the following steps:
    1- Quality control of the RAD-seq raw data (fastqc)
    2- Demultiplexed the read files with process_ragtags, from Stacks (-> one file of reads per individual)
    3- Mapped the RAD-tags to the genome (bowtie2 + samtools -> bam alignments sorted and indexed then I converted the bam files in sam)
    4- Used the Stacks pipeline ref_map.pl to build loci, calls variants and construct a catalogs of loci. I ran the program "genotypes" specifying "onemap" as the output format
    5- With the markers in hand (in onemap format), I followed the following steps in R:
    > library('onemap')
    > data_onemap <- read.outcross("/PATH/TO/FOLDER", "batch_3.genotypes_5onemap.tsv")
    > twopts <- rf.2pts(data_onemap)
    > mark.all <- make.seq(twopts, "all")
    > marker.type(mark.all) # I have a LOT of Ds (and a few A and Bs)
    > LGs <- group(mark.all, LOD=6, max.rf=0.4)

    -> With these LOD and max.rf parameters I only get 1 linkage group which links 70% of my markers. I thought that I was getting only 1 group because the percentage of polymorphism between my 2 parental strains is low (0.10%).

    I therefore increased my LOD value to 19, and was able to get 5 groups.But, these 5 groups use only 18% of my markers (330 out of a total of 1814).

    Is this a problem? Do you think my pipeline to build a genetic map out of RAD-seq data is correct? Is it too weak?

    Any help welcome on how to build a genetic map using RAD-seq!

    Cheers!

    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 on Modified Bases...

    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...
