Dear colleagues, I have implemented two software packages. HighSSR framework can significantly simplify development of the microsatellites (SSR) markers from the next generation sequencing reads (especially from Roche 454 GS-FLX raw reads because they are longer). The other package is for Illumina RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis in case/control studies. These are freely available from here http://maximusinuse.nmsu.edu. Please let me know your opinion about these developments, we will submit corresponding method papers for review shortly.

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.
