  • most commonly used alignment viewers

    Hi there,

    I am trying to get a feel for the mosy commonly used/ well regarded alignment viewers out there. I have had a read of the sticky thread outlining what options are available, but Im interested in what people think are well regarded in terms of:

    ease of use and well supported
    which require local install/ only webtool available
    can you navigate in at the genome level (ie. with Affymetrix IGB viewer)
    which are more suitable for short/long read data - or one that caters for both
    Do they take standard output from commonly used ailgners (velvet/bowtie/maq) - or is there much file manipulation before the viewer can be used.

    Are people using SAMtools much?

    Thanks,

    Natalie

    I have been using the Integrated Genomics Viewer for my short read work.

    See http://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/index.html

    Heng Li also did a good review of viewers at http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Users/lh3/NGSalnview.shtml


    IGV works nicely with BED, BAM and GFF files. It does the job for most of my tasks.

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

      Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
      by seqadmin




      Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
