Hi all,
I am sequencing bacterial genomes, certain genomic strains of which have been published but not the exact strains I'll be trying to detect SNPs for.
First off, as my title asks, can anyone with experience (or opinions) of SNP detection tell me what coverage you need to reliably detect SNPs??
I am also looking at the best possible technology for the sequencing. 454 is out because of homopolymers. I have experience analysing Illumina data so I was thinking of going with paired end 100bps, however one of the sequencing companies suggested SOLiD. I've never used SOLiD data before and hence, I'm reluctant but if it's good for the purpose then I should just bite the bullet...
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
