  • Qualimap Large Standard Deviation

    Hi,

    I'm using Qualimap for quality control in a pipeline.
    Under "Coverage" I get a standard deviation that is larger than the mean value. This seems a little suspicious. Does this mean there is likely some sort of problem?

    Thanks for the help

    I've never used Qualimap, but it's not unusual to have a standard deviation larger than the mean, depending on your experiment. Particularly with single-cell, or LMP libraries, or anything over-amplified, or other protocols that are expected to be highly biased. Can you give more details?

      Thanks for the reply.
      I am amplifying certain areas more than others. So that might be the issue.
      As I am still no expert in this, What would you recommend other than Qualimap?

        Before I can recommend something, I'd need to know exactly what you're trying to measure. BBMap can generate the standard deviation and average coverage, but there's no reason to expect it would give a different answer. You are running an experiment with intentionally uneven coverage, so when you analyze the coverage and find that it is uneven, that should be what you expect.

          You're right. I guess I didn't think about that before. I don't really need a different program then.

          Thanks!

            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...
