    affymetrix snp 6

    Hello,

    I am running a set of affymetrix snp 6.0 chip and new in DNA stuff. Could you please recommend some softwares (e.g. R based packages)? Thanks a lot.

    What's your application? For copy number analysis, the free Affymetrix Genotyping Console is pretty nice if you want a GUI tool, or try the Affymetrix Power Tools for command line versions of the algorithms. For LOH I've got better results with dChip. For an R-based framework try aroma.affymetrix. Broad's IGV is good for displaying data from multiple arrays, and their Ultrasome package does very fast copy number segmentation. Links to all these are on the aroma.affymetrix tools page:

    I still also use an old and probably unmaintained package called CGH Explorer for looking at individual copy number profiles in detail:

      I use Partek genomic software but the licence is not free

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        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.

        Single-Cell Sequencing at an Inflection Point: Early Impacts of New Platforms and Emerging Trends
        by SEQadmin2


        With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.

        Introduction

        Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...

        Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
        by SEQadmin2

        Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.

        Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
