    Regarding fastq file format

    I downloaded a file from 1000 genomes.
    ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1....filt.fastq.gz

    The contents look like this:

    @SRR040813.1390 VAB_0100_20091102_2_SL_AWG_TG_NA19150_000pA_01003244543_12_21_53/1
    G22300322011100202023200032002..200.330022102.22002

    +
    !#)(+)(0+%))3&*)&0&+1(&&&)'2:7!!66(!!845/)<8.!.&)5)


    As per my knowledge, the second line should be a sequence of A,T, G, C, N. Is this a corrupted file or is it a different way of representing the gene data in fastq file?

    Looks like Colorspace:
    Generated by all sequencers from the solid and 5500ish sequencers sequencers from ABI. The numbers represent colors instead of actual bases while the dot represents positions where no actual color read could be obtained. See this paper for an overview of the technology: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19997069

    Hope that helps

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        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
