    Mapping reads with adapter sequences using MAQ

    I am trying to test pair end mapping with 3' adpter sequence and please let me know how the alogorithm handles the situation.

    The adapter sequence is stored in a text file. The adpter sequence is about 7 bps length. If the paired reads are mapped against the reference genome with option -d which contains 3' adapter, how does the algorithm handle the mapping situation.

    Will it just eliminate 7bps found in the reads as contaminants and eliminate the adpter portion of the reaad from mapping?

    What if both read1 and read2 does not contain the adapter sequence?

    If I am not concerned about the -a option (ie) Maximum outer distance for a correct read pair which has the default value as 250 is not of my concern and how to disable the -a option.

    Anyone can explain on how to interpret the outputdata?

    Thanks.

    Hi Can anyone suggest a tool to map pair end reads with adpter sequence? Thanks.

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

      Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
