    Difference between human sequence and virus sequence

    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.

        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.

          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
          by SEQadmin2



          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
