    Mapping to Genome- 'The Rules?'

    Hi guys,
    I am having trouble with the mapping-to-genome process. I have a dataset of illumine reads. I have filtered them accordingly. In generating this dataset, we included some canine genes. I have mapped the short canine reads to the dog genome using bowtie to determine how many of the reads are useful. I have since assembled the reads into larger contgs of ~400bp. I now want to determine the quality of these contigs. Is it better to use blast to 'map' these large contains to the canine genome or to attempt to map them using bwa, bowtie, novoalign or some other type of mapping algorithm? What is the general rules of mapping?
    Thank you!

    bwasw mode of BWA is probably the best way to map a modest number of reads/assemblies very quickly yet with high sensitivity. Plus, you'll have SAM output which can feed into a lot of downstream tools.

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
