  • HTS Mappers!

    Anyone vounteer to update the wiki ;-)




    Motivation: A ubiquitous and fundamental step in high-throughput sequencing analysis is the alignment (mapping) of the generated reads to a reference sequence. To accomplish this task numerous software tools have been proposed. Determining the mappers that are most suitable for a specific application is not trivial.

    Results: This survey focuses on classifying mappers through a wide number of characteristics. The goal is to allow practitioners to compare the mappers more easily and find those that are most suitable for their specific problem.

    Availability: A regularly updated compendium of mappers can be found at http://wwwdev.ebi.ac.uk/fg/hts_mappe...g/hts_mappers/.

    A comparison of accuracy would have been nice...

      I was thinking to organize a 'mapathon' on the wiki.... how would you recommend benchmarking accuracy?

        That would be AWESOME! I think we should query SEQanswers folks and vote on a number of metrics... this would be fun group project...

          Cool! It shouldn't be too hard either, but we need to have clear guidelines about what to measure and how, so that results are comparable across mappers. The only other thing we need is a dataset and a place to host it...

            I'd recommend using % reads mapped and the # of reads mapped uniquely as part of the evaluation, and keep in mind that the # of known heterozygotes is a measure of sensitivity, NOT accuracy. My two cents.

              Should we generate data so we have a 'gold standard'? Or just work with metrics based on consistency, speed, and coverage?

                Are you talking about simulated or real?

                  Simulated reads from real genomes.

                  We could simulate a range of 'noise' across a series of error models and produce reads characteristic of a variety of technologies... there must be software to do this already right?

                    There is and we have these datasets already. I would be happy to share. We did a number of tests with this dataset for a manuscript we are sending out.

                      Fabulous! Please link to the datasets, and I'll try to put wheels in motion via the wiki :-)

                        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.

                        Recent Developments in Metagenomics
                        by seqadmin





                        Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...
