DNA sequencers 150 bps Output File
I am doing some experiment using BowTie 2. Now, I want, to experiment with it on 150 bps reads. So, I want DNA sequencers 150 bps output file. For example, output of Genome Analyzer IIx. Can anybody please help me, where can I find it ?

I think your best bet would be to find a MiSeq data set (rather than a GAIIx). MiSeq will easily do 2 x 150 bp. There seem to be MiSeq runs several available in the SRA (http://sra.dnanexus.com/?result_type...&show=&q=miseq or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra?term=miseq). Not simple to determine if they are 150 bp so you may need to look through some. -
Thanks a lot. I go through those links. In their download section they have not specify number of bases (means 100 or 150 etc.). You mean to download and check number of bases ?Comment

I *think* you can actually see the length of the reads by clicking on the names of the SRA records.
See the example below. This seems to be a 150 bp paired-end MiSeq run. But them many of the others seem to be as well.

There are also a couple of default 150PE runs if you're registered on Illumina BaseSpace.
Just a PhiX and BacillusCereus run, so I'm not sure how useful that'll be.
FASTQ is downloadable.Comment

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.
