    How to find same sequences between two sequencing project

    Hello, I have two tables of sequences, one from DNA seq, one from RNA seq. Is there a easy way for me to it find the same sequences in both tables?


    I used the same individuals for DNA seq and RNA seq. Now I want to match the individuals using same SNPs in both project.

    Thanks for the help.

    Your question is difficult to understand, but I am assuming you are trying to compare SNPs found in RNA-Seq data to SNPs found in DNA-Seq data.

    For individual genes and SNPs, you could compare the datasets visually by loading the BAM files or the VCF files in IGV.

    For a genome wide comparison, you can just compare the mutations in the VCF files or the data from the VCF files converted to an Excel file.
    There has to be some manual curation, and cutoffs set for the RNA-Seq data. The coverage will be uneven for the RNA-Seq data, and, amongst other issues, indels may not be handled properly.

      If you actually have data in "tables" then perhaps you only have a reduced representation of the data (unless you are referring to a VCF file is tab-delimited).

      If that is the case then you could use vcftools/bedtools "intersect" to find the SNP's that are common in both files. All caveats mentioned by @blancha still apply.

      Hopefully you know "what data is what" and are only planning to match the SNP's as additional QC confirmation for the samples.

        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.
