  • BBTools for analyzing Ion Torrent generated data?

    Hello,
    We are performing full length plasmid sequencing using Ion Torrent's GeneStudio S5 prime system and are not detecting large INDELs (~150bp) using Torrent Suite software. We have heard that BBTools work great for detecting INDELs with Illumina platform.
    Has anyone used BBTools to analyze fastq files generated from Ion Torrent system? Any suggestions will be appreciated!

    Torrent variant caller uses "flow order" information to significantly improve accuracy. No 3rd party tool incorporates this kind of special handling for Ion data so best to stick with the native variant caller

      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...
