    Problem with Combine Alignments

    Hi

    We're using Ion Proton with the latest Torrent Suite (3.4.1).
    When we would like to merge data from different runs belonging to the same project, then suddenly the alignment rate of the combined alignment drops to less than 20% although the alignment rates of the individual (not merged) runs were 95%.
    Has anyone seen this problem before and do you know the reason/solution ?
    Many thanks!

    PS: It seems that the merged bam file is present and correct and only the presentation of the alignment (rate in percentage and curve) is wrong in the torrent suite browser. Although the combine alignments process is terminated, the browser indicates "Still calculating."

      Sounds like you need to get in touch with Ion Proton support. Not many on this group have Ion Protons yet.

        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.
