Hi,All.
I want to know the difference between human sequence and virus sequence.Is there anyone can help me？
Thanks a lot!

The human sequence is much longer. -
sorry... I only have short length sequences come from Illumina Hiseq.Originally posted by adaptivegenome View PostComment

Which virus?
To expand on adaptivegenome's comment, viral genomes tend to be thousands of bases whereas the human genome is billions of bases. However "human" denotes a single species, whereas "virus" could mean any of millions of different organisms. Past that it is difficult to give an answer to such a general question.
If you have some human DNA or RNA that includes viral genomes or transcripts, you could try mapping the Illumina data to the human genome then assembling the non-mapping reads. You could then check the source of the resulting contigs by blasting them against genbank, or some curated database. If you have viral sequence in there it will probably hit other viruses.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
