Genome_Coverage after assembly

07-14-2013, 01:48 AM

Hi, I am probably asking a very basic question. I have assembled raw Ion Torrent reads from different tools to produce contigs. I have a reference genome, I want to know how to calculate the genome coverage from the set of contigs if that is possible.

Thank you.

Kind Regards

One method would be to align contigs to the genome, sum the lengths of the uniquely aligned regions, and then divide that by the length of the reference genome.

Joseph Fass has some Perl/R scripts called COMPASS which will calculate this.

Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics

by seqadmin

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies

by seqadmin

Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
