  • Setting Up Variant Frequencies in TVC

    Hi everybody,

    Currently, I am using Ion PGM Ampliseq Cancer Panel Hotspot v2 and Torrent Variant Caller.
    Usually I have only few number of coverage, for example 30 of 200base reads. Sometimes this kind of data will not appear in TVC. I was wondering if the coverage of my data is too low or do I set the stringency too high.

    I always set the variant frequency to "somatic" but I am little confused because in the user guide said that for somatic workflows the threshold is set to 4% frequency for SNPs and 20% for indels. But as you can see in the picture, the minimum variant allele is 0.02 (is it equal to 20% or 2%?)

    Thank you for your attention, your help is much appreciated.

    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...

    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...
