What is your recommendation for analyzing bisulphit data? There are very few tools with various output (generally non human readable) and performance (Socs-B, Bathmeth, Bsolana, Pass) but I think we don't find the real one, yet.

Bisulfite sequencing and solid is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad idea. -
13 very's seems a little harsh, but I agree with the sentiment. If you have any kind of choice then using colourspace for BS-Seq is best avoided. The techniques used for mapping of BS-Seq data in base space don't naturally extend to colorspace so you have to make somewhat uncomfortable compromises about how to do the analysis.
Having said that, if you have to go ahead with this then we'd probably recommend BSolana. We talked a lot with the authors when they were writing it and they were well aware of the limitations of the platform and made a reasonable compromise to get the best they could out of this type of data. It might be worth noting that they moved to Illumina sequencing not long after writing Bsolana though!Comment

I agree with you, B-Solana is a good compromise but unfortunately we have some program errors with this on the latest linuxes. I'll set up a VM with an older version of Ubuntu/CentOS etc. and give it a last try.Originally posted by simonandrews View PostComment

Have you tried contacting the authors? They're nice guys and may be able to offer a quick fix. If it worked on older linux versions it's probably a really trivial fix.Comment

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
