    Region Comparison

    Hello everyone, I have what I would imagine to be a relatively easy question, but being the bioinformatics newbie I am, I'm unaware of how to proceed.

    I have multiple sets of regions of varying sizes specified by chromosome, chromosome start, and chromosome stop. What I would like to do is be able to identify whether or not particular regions from one set overlap with regions from another set. The data is currently in excel.

    Any assistance on this would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    there are a number of ways

    One easy way is using the tools in Galaxy under "Operate on genomic intervals". Just upload both sets of intervals in separate text files, with format like

    chr1 tab start tab end

    And then you can use intersect, join, or subtract on the intervals.

      The UCSC Genome Browser's "Table Browser" and BEDTools have this functionality as well. Galaxy is certainly the easiest to use.

        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.
