    how to align concatenated and sheared sequences?

    Hi,

    I enriched DNA targets by PCR, them concatenated (ligated) the DNA and sheared it to get ~300 bp sequences.
    The problem is that each read may include sequences from two different genomic regions.
    The sequencing was performed with HiSeq PE x 100.
    How can I do the alignment with free software?

    In regular enrichments (RNA hybridization) I'm just using bwa and samtools, but I don't know if it is suitable for this case as well?

    Thanks,
    Lilach

    I think that's going to be ugly; with short reads, you need speed, and you can't break apart 100 Mreads a thousand ways each to see how the two ends might best map on separate reference sequences.

    You could try making concatenated reference sequence for those reads to align to.

      Thanks for the answer, although I hope there will be an easier way...
      I know what will be the PCR products. Is there any efficient algorithm that can concatenate these known sequences in all possible ways and "break" to pieces, to see what I get? Then I could align my results to this database?
      But I still have to "label" somehow each PCR product before the concatenation to know where it came from? or at least where are the end points or original sequences?

        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.
