    ABI SOLiD Bioinformatic Services

    Does anyone know of a fee for service facility that performs analytical services for ABI SOLiD data ? My colleagues and I have generated and are generating data for several projects and are looking for someone to assist with variant identication. Both are resequencing projects.

    Any suggestions or help you can give would be greatly appreciated !
    Thank you !

    There is a services section on seqanswers but I have not seen many people offering bioinformatics services for SOLiD. We were recently approached to do some SOLiD services however most of our work has been with the Illumina platform.
    I have had a look at the ABI community software site and it's pretty well organized. If you have an idea of a workflow you would like to implement around your SOLiD data then perhaps contact me privately for more information about what we're doing.

      Our company - Astrid Research - does provide ABI Solid data analysis services. We have developed software tools for sequence trimming, read error correction, de novo sequencing, reference sequencing, SNP identification, InDel identification, ChIP-Seq, transcriptome analysis, expression profiling.

      Besides we provide custom analysis using a comprehensive statistical framework tool based on R and Bioconductor.

      In addition we have developed a tool to supersede GeneSpring. Our solution has the same feature set but it is not wizard-like and has functions like set operation, gene synonym conversion, specific site identification, etc. Users can work with all known statistical methods, not only a selected few.

        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...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
