  • DeNovo WGA sequencing of diploid Drosophila

    Hello,

    This is considered a difficult but potentially achievable goal. The genome is ~200mb with potentially high levels of heterozygosity but much less repeat structure than a mammal. A further challenge are balanced inversions within inbreed lines that maintain high levels of polymorphism over long periods.

    Can anyone point me to a project that has started from a typical wild-type Drosophila, amplified with something like Repli-G, sequenced with Illumina 2x100bp reads and got a reasonable assembly (or not), hopefully with SNP's called.

    Thanks.

    I want to know how you know the genome have high levels of heterozygosity. Thank you!

      Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
      by seqadmin




      Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
