    Kmer Content

    Hi,

    What can be the cause of an increased number of 5-mers AAAAA and TTTTT?


    Thank you.

    If you are sequencing repetitive regions of Human DNA for example, you would expect that.

      Could be Poly-A tails too, if this is RNA-seq, or if you just didn't RNase your samples that well. Transcriptome assemblies have more absurd poly-A coverage than that though.

        Looks like polyA or lots of Alu sequences. What is the source of the data. This would help us debug.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          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

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          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
