Contig vs contig or map against contig lib?

06-24-2012, 02:48 PM

Hi,

Can anyone offer some thought in regards to looking for SNPs between two sets of two EST contig libraries?

I have two cDNA contig libraries from sister species and wonder whether it is best to look for diagnostic SNPs between the two via BLAST/BLAT/BFASTing one contig set against the other, or assembling one of the species cDNAs against the contigs from the other?

I have already validated species level SNPs within each from the individual transcript assemblies. I am thinking the best way to look for species level SNPs would be to re-assemble the smaller sized data set against the larger contig library from the other species?

Aligning contigs against each other (in my mind) may cause more complications? (seeing as this is not an annotated scaffold).

Cheers,

J

old question JackieBadger

Hi JackieBadger
Did you get some answer/solution/tip for this problem? I am more or less in the same situation
thanks

Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by SEQadmin2

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data

by SEQadmin2

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
