    BreakDancer different results

    Hi,

    I'm using BreakDancer on the whole genomic data generated by Illumina Hiseq. In order to confirm that I'm running the program correctly, I tried to run it with the Yoruban genome (NA18507) which the developers have used in their algorithm. I downloaded the aligned bam file of NA18507 and used the following syntax:

    ./bam2cfg.pl -g -h /home/taha/Downloads/NA18507.mapped.ILLUMINA.bwa.YRI.low_coverage.20120522.bam > Examplenew_break.cfg

    ./breakdancer_max /home/taha/Softwares/breakdancer-1.1_2011_02_21/perl/Examplenew_break.cfg -c 4 -q 12 > Examplenew_break_threash.xls


    However after running, I got totally different results than what authors got. I got total 7200 variants while as they got 9202+4901+665 variants.

    May I know the syntax I'm using is correct? If yes, then why should be there such a difference?
    Thanks,

    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.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    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...
