  • need a Genome browser to view Mb in a window

    I need a genome browser which allows me to view MB or even the whole genome in a window.

    I'm mapping ChipSeq Illumina short reads to a genome. I want to see a distribution of numbers of matches across a chromosome. I've tried IGV. However, it only let me view up to 70Kb in a window. When I further zoom out, I can not see any distribution nor sequences any more.

    Please suggest a genome browser fit my purpose. Thanks!!

    SeqMonk would certainly be up for the task.

      UCSC Browser can visualize whole chromosomes. Circos may vizualize whole genomes if u manage to compile it (i had no success on my mac).

        Generate a bigWig (or even just a wig or bedgraph if you're just talking about 1Mb) from your bam file and then plug it into UCSC Genome Browser or IGV.

          2 questions:

          1. How to generate a bigWig from a bam file?

          2. can UCSC Genome Browser be installed and run on a local machine?

              Try BEDtools. Also: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7379

                I tried to follow this workflow to generate a BigWig. However, what is
                "chromsizes.txt" in step 3 and 4.

                Thanks!!


                Workflow:
                # 1. Convert SAM to BAM
                samtools view -S -b -o sample.bam sample.sam
                # 2. Sort the BAM file
                samtools sort sample.bam sample.sorted
                # 3. Create BedGraph coverage file
                genomeCoverageBed -bg -ibam sample.sorted.bam -g chromsizes.txt > sample.bedgraph
                # 4. Convert the BedGraph file to BigWig
                bedGraphToBigWig sample.bedgraph chromsizes.txt sample.bw

                  Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                  by seqadmin


                  Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
