  • What is the minimum coverage needed?

    Hi, (my very firs post here on this helpful forum

    I have performed an experiment where I have placed individuals (from the wild) into new a environment, then I have sampled the individuals at different time points. I also have controlls for all the time intervals (individuals taken out of its common environment and placed back to similar conditions).
    My plan is to sequence the mRNA on Illumina, potentially on a HiSeq2000 (but there is also a GA2 available).

    I would be happy to get some suggestions reagrding coverage depth needed in order to aim at a certain number of individuals per lane (trying keeping the cost down). I am interrested in detecting active genes during a specific period in a defined environment, and to then, compare between different time stages. My study organism has about 21 000 genes, with a total of about 36Mb, and the genome has been sequenced (so I have a refrence genome). My plan is to go with paired end reads, and 50 or 75 bp.

    Thanks in advance, this is all very new to me so all suggestions are welcome

    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...
