    Who is the best way to align/assemble to a reference?

    There are so many software to mapping the solexa/SOLid reads to reference. Which is the best?

    If you wont to align against a reference sequence more or less all the software are pretty good. They differ a bit from what concern speed and sensitivity but more or less are similar. In my lab we use our own tool that is more sensitive then ELAND and it has performances similar to BOWTIE an SOAP.

    For what concern assembly the best software is VELVET. I use also EULER-SR that is some cases perform better then VELVET.
    Also EDANA is pretty good but VELVET and EULER are better...

      As a biased alignment tool author, I would suggest BFAST for indels and sensitivity.

        Thanks. When I assembled my data, I found the velvet was pretty good. And, I also tried to extend the sequences by different aligment. I would like to find more software with various ideas to help me finish my genome.

          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
