  • What is your approach to variant filtering?

    While looking at some exome data I was struck by how widely my final variant list varies using different approaches. Using variant score reclalibration alone with GATK I ended up with 40,000 variants in a single exome (single sample using --maxGaussians 4 \ -percentBad 0.05). Using the GATK recommended hard filtering settings on the other hand yielded around 30,000 variants.

    I was wondering, what are other people's experiences with variant filtering, how do you go about it and what sort of numbers do you see?

    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...
