Yep it was more important when you have 36mers to know how bad the alignments with them are. Now that we have 100mers, we can be a little more confident in our alignments. -
Well, don't be coy. What benchmarking protocol would satisfy you? Please be specific.Originally posted by rskr View Post

BWA, comes with a test suite, that will generate randomized reads, and evaluate them.
Pretty easy, only reason not to do it is you know it isn't good.
wgsim does do some error modeling and biological zygosity, but it doesn't do a very sophisticated job of the error modeling such as quality and error decreasing at the ends of reads, so it is still somewhat optimistic. Also the scoring is a little odd it doesn't measure the exact SNPs, and indels, but only if the reads were in the right place +-5bp, and if a read maps wrong multiple times that counts against the error multiple. That could be improved, but it will give a pretty good idea of what the accuracy really is.
The best thing about bench marking? Its cheap!

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing... -
The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...09-01-2026, 05:41 AM
