    Alignment of selective sequencing data to parental genotypes for progeny mapping

    Hello everyone,
    We have embarked on a wonderful journey into the world of selective sequencing using ddRAD-Seq. We are specifically mapping recombinant (hopefully) progeny back to the parents to assess what parent contributed which DNA in each progeny. This has been done using bowtie2 and samtools. Following which we have used STACKS (http://catchenlab.life.illinois.edu/stacks/) to generate progeny maps using sequenced reads from the two parental genotypes. However, this has produced a large genotype matrix riddled with holes (see attached).

    Since both parents are sequenced, I assume there's a better way to do this so that we can use all of the data from each sequenced progeny without relying on those same loci to be sequenced in the parents. There's a review from Mark Blaxter's lab in 2011 (https://web.natur.cuni.cz/~muncling/NGS2.pdf) that alludes to a statistical method of calling parental contributions using SNPs frequencies but I have yet to see this implemented anywhere. Is there a program that is able to do this given two parental genotypes and the raw or mapped reads?

    Thank you
    Matt

    New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
    by seqadmin


    This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

    The Headliner
    The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...

    Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
    by seqadmin




    The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
