  • How to rebuild query genome after BWA alignment to reference genome?

    Dear all,

    I recently sequence whole genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(unknown strain) with around 10X to 25X. Is it possible to rebuild query genome(genome of my target sample) after bwa alignment with MTB reference ?

    And What kind of other tools or setting I need to used?

    Since there are other unknown strains which would be sequenced for phylogenetic analysis, their genome sequence is necessary to be retrieved.

    Thank you very much for all your kindly attention!

    Since you have good coverage you may be able to de novo assemble your strain's genome from the data you have and then compare it to known strains of TB.

    SPAdes is a good choice for bacterial genome assembly assuming you have the right kind of data (illumina).

      Thank you very much for your reply!!

      However, is there any possible way to obtain target genome after alignment?

        You can create a consensus sequence based on the alignments. It would only be valid for those regions where your strain matches the reference.



        If you use new samtools (v.1.x): http://www.htslib.org/doc/samtools-1.1.html

          Dear GenoMax,

          Thank you very much for your helpful reply!!!
          I suppose my sequencing depth is suffice to cover whole reference genome.
          And will that consensus sequence contain the snp and indel from my query genome?

            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,...
