  • Dindel on PGM IonTorrent Data

    Dear users,
    has anyone used or tested Dindel on PGM IonTorrent data. Although Dindel manual says it is meant for Illumina, is there any new development for optimizing Dindel for PGM data.

    Samtools generic Indel prediction missing several known indel due to homopolymer stretches.



    thank you.

    DINDEL is designed for Illumina data because it uses an error rate derived from that platform. The DINDEL paper describes how the error was calculated and even makes note of accounting for homopolymers, which are error-prone on all platforms, even Illumina. To best use DINDEL I would recommend computing an error-rate for Ion Torrent data. Since DINDEL is also implemented as part of GATK, I would also recommend contacting Eric Banks to see if he or someone in the GSA group is working on an Ion Torrent error model as well. You might be also to save some effort if they are doing it already.

      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...
