  • simulating illumina paired end reads

    Hello Ladies and Gents,

    I am currently trying to simulate illumina paired end reads. Here is the situation:

    I have a fasta file containing many DNA fragments of different sizes.
    Now I want to simulate paired end reads for each of this fragments including illumina like read errors.

    Do you know a tool / solution for this routine? Actually I am only hold back by the illumina read errors to include. In case of necessity I could programm the rest by myself.

    Thanks a lot,

    Thomas

    Hey Splinter479,

    What is your goal of simulating Illumina paired end reads and the purpose of your experiment. Is it sensible to follow this approach.

    Regards,
    Vishnu.

      There are a number of read simulators out there. I've used Sherman recently, and it works OK. There's also wgsim among many others. There's an old post on Biostars with a number of read simulators that should work.

        I am currently programming a complete pipeline for ddRADseq simulation.
        Last step is to create paired end illumina reads.
        My problem is, that the most simulators produce their own fragments (mostly random from a give genome) to produce paired end reads.
        I like to hand in my own fragments into the tool of cause. I have no use of random fragments.

          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.
