  • EMS causal mutation identification by NGS

    Dear all,

    I was recently struck by this paper http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21398646 where the authors used 75bp Illumina NGS to identify EMS-induced mutations in Arabidopsis. The procedure involves crossing two ecotypes and sequencing (1) the parental ecotype A, (2) the parental ecotype B and (3) the F2 generation with phenotype suppression.
    My question is: if one had to repeat this study, what would be the absolute minimum coverage for obtaining a chance for a reliable SNP detection? Assuming re-sequencing of the parental lines too. In the paper they suggest 6x-9x, so if I understand correctly one run with modern Illumina machines will be sufficient for the entire experiment, assuming perhaps nuclei extraction.

    Thanks a lot

      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...
