  • Minimum (ir maximum) bam depth/coverage for structural variation analyses

    *or maximum

    We are studying structural variation in several plant genomes Illmumina pair-end DNA re-sequencing, and noticed that the number of deletions in some samples (PINDEL) drops significantly. After having boldly calculated the depth as

    [number of reads] x mean read length / genome size

    we noticed that in these samples the depth was way lower (around 10 folds on an average of 50).

    I was wondering if there is some lower or higher limit in a sample depth to start considering an adulterated result.

    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...
