  • !!Urgent help: identifying CNV of an interesting region by targeted sequencing

    Hi all,
    My collaborator is interested in a region (about 8M bp long), that has been reported to susceptible to amplification/deletions.

    Our goal is to perform sequencing experiments to specifically study the copy number variation of this region.

    Whole-exome sequencing of course can help but most of the information will be wasted since our collaborator is not interested in other regions.

    I wonder if we could capture the 8M region plus 3M up-stream and 3M down-stream region and then perform deep sequencing on the total 14M-bp region. Ideally, the up- and down-stream regions have no copy number change while it will be easy to quantify the copy numbers of the middle region.

    I am not sure if the above strategy is feasible. Please help if you have a better idea of detecting copy number variation for a targeted region or if you have any advice for sequencing the above described region.

    THanks a lot!

    Probably a MYbaits custom pulldown would be a good way to access the region.

      If you want to detect potential large indels in that area, I suggest mapping with BBMap, using the flag "maxindel=200000" (or however long you wish, though bear in mind that higher numbers reduce accuracy).

        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...
