  • Warning: Serious bug in Samtools depth

    Samtools depth caps coverage values at around 8000.

    I merged together a few bam-files to look at total coverage. I had a hard time understanding why all the different chromosomes had maximum coverage values of around 8000 (between 8015-8053 approximately).

    When I googled for potential reasons why, I stumbled across this bug report: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/m...sg_id=28166483

    and downloaded the patch attached. Now samtools depth works as it should.

    A big heads up to everybody calculating coverage based on samtools! You may get wrong values! I can't help why wonder why the samtools developers haven't released a new samtools version with this bug fixed yet.

    Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
    by seqadmin



    Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

    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.
