  • Best literature on NGS

    Hi,

    what is you favourite literature about (especially the bioinformatic part of) NGS, both de novo and with a reference genome?

    Best literature on NGS

    Hi,

    I don't know about 'best' or 'favourite', but review articles are usually a good place to start.

    Nature Methods had a supplement on NGS in 2009. It included an article on alignment and assembly by Paul Flicek and Ewan Birney.



    There was a Technology Feature article in Nature Methods about a year ago,
    called 'De novo genome assembly, what every biologist should know',



    The journal Bioinformatics had a virtual issue on NGS - essentially a list of NGS papers published in their journal,




    There have been various articles comparing different assemblers, including articles reporting the results of Assemblathon competitions.

    See this article by Salzberg et al, 'GAGE: A critical evaluation of genome assemblies and assembly algorithms.'

    An international, peer-reviewed genome sciences journal featuring outstanding original research that offers novel insights into the biology of all organisms


    Best wishes,
    Maria

      Thank you very much, Maria! I will check these articles.

      I am asking because we are going to buy some books at the department now. So we googled some books about NGS and I can also check the reviews at Amazon but I wanted to know if anyone here uses some and can recommend them.

        Best literature on NGS

        I think the best sources of information on NGS are the journals, SEQanswers, and the technical reports published by the various companies that sell sequencers like Illumina, Life and Roche/454 (see their websites).

        I would imagine that because of the speed at which everything NGS-related is changing, any textbooks would be out of date by the time they are published.

          Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
          by seqadmin



          Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

          Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
          by seqadmin




          Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
