  • Kmer spectrum



    The kmer spectrum plots the number of distinct N-bp sequences as a function of coverage level, placing low-coverage (rare) sequences at left and high-coverage, repetitive sequences at right.

    Kindly make me understand what is the meaning of the x-axis and y-axis??..And what does this graph imply.??..What interpretation can we make from this spectrum??

    From your description and the answer you received on biostars it sounds like you understand what the graph is showing. If you are looking for an in-depth biological interpretation, it is not possible from looking at k-mers alone. If you know the species, ploidy level, mating system, repeat content, etc. then you can explain the graph in biological terms, but otherwise it is not possible (that's probably why you didn't get an answer). The reason being that numerous biological factors could contribute to the k-mer spectra. Hope that helps.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      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,...
