  • Help with understanding Human Microbiome Project (HMP) data

    I downloaded some HMP FASTQ data recently and need help understanding the metadata. I filtered by "wgs_raw_seq_set" and selected "FASTQ" as the file type, so these should be all WGS metagenomics data.

    The metadata is below:Click image for larger version

Name:	hmp.png
Views:	177
Size:	21.3 KB
ID:	325339

    Q1: why does https://downloads.hmpdacc.org/ihmp/i...w/CSM67UEW.tar appear twice, with different file_id, different md5 and different size?!!

    Q2: what is the difference between CSM67UEW.tar, CSM67UEW_TR.tar and CSM67UEW_P.fastq.gz

    Bonus: CSM67UEW_P.fastq.gz is interleaved paired end FASTQ, the two tar files contained paired-end FASTQ as separate files
    Bonus2: CSM67UEW.tar has 500k reads, the other two have 5M reads
    Bonus3: CSM67UEW_P.fastq.gz and CSM67UEW_TR.tar correlate very well after Kraken profiling (r=0.9) but both correlate quite poorly with CSM67UEW.tar (r=0.7)

    Please help, there doesn't seem to be anyone to email at HMP

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
