  • Simple question: What exactly does insert length mean?

    Suppose I sequenced a sample that was found to be 500bp on a gel and my reads are 100bp from both ends. Would my insert_length (e.g. as a parameter given to velvet) be 500bp or 300bp (500-100 from both ends)?

    It's 500 bp (assuming there are no adapters whose lengths need to be subtracted.) The insert size includes the length(s) of the read(s).

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
