    Genetic map with RAD-seq data

    NOTE: I tried to explain my question better here: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65681

    Dear all,

    I have some RAD-seq data from nematodes (2 parents, ~100 progeny) which I want to use to cluster my genomic scaffolds into linkage groups (ideally each group would be a chromosome).

    The genome has been frozen and is now annotated.

    I performed the following steps:
    1- Quality control of the RAD-seq raw data (fastqc)
    2- Demultiplexed the read files with process_ragtags, from Stacks (-> one file of reads per individual)
    3- Mapped the RAD-tags to the genome (bowtie2 + samtools -> bam alignments sorted and indexed then I converted the bam files in sam)
    4- Used the Stacks pipeline ref_map.pl to build loci, calls variants and construct a catalogs of loci. I ran the program "genotypes" specifying "onemap" as the output format
    5- With the markers in hand (in onemap format), I followed the following steps in R:
    > library('onemap')
    > data_onemap <- read.outcross("/PATH/TO/FOLDER", "batch_3.genotypes_5onemap.tsv")
    > twopts <- rf.2pts(data_onemap)
    > mark.all <- make.seq(twopts, "all")
    > marker.type(mark.all) # I have a LOT of Ds (and a few A and Bs)
    > LGs <- group(mark.all, LOD=6, max.rf=0.4)

    -> With these LOD and max.rf parameters I only get 1 linkage group which links 70% of my markers. I thought that I was getting only 1 group because the percentage of polymorphism between my 2 parental strains is low (0.10%).

    I therefore increased my LOD value to 19, and was able to get 5 groups.But, these 5 groups use only 18% of my markers (330 out of a total of 1814).

    Is this a problem? Do you think my pipeline to build a genetic map out of RAD-seq data is correct? Is it too weak?

    Any help welcome on how to build a genetic map using RAD-seq!

    Cheers!

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
