Does anyone have any advice on denoising Illumina reads (specifically 16s reads from a HiSeq)? I've had a look in the literature and most of the denoising algorithms available seem to be aimed at 454 sequencing (and not really applicable to Illumina since they work on flowgram files). The only real possibility seems to be Rosen et al (2012). I would be very interested to hear about anyone's experience using this or any other approach for denoising Illumina data.

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
