    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?

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
