I am doing some QC on my illumina sequencing raw data. One of the test I saw other people ran is to do a nucleotide distribution calculation. Is this really some useful information? How do I use it.
Thanks

Perhaps download the FastQC package to explore your read statistics with a simpel GUI: http://www.bioinformatics.bbsrc.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/ -
Yes the nucleotide distribution is useful.
If the distribution seems "uneven" at the beginning, that could indicate some residual adaptor sequences. The unevenness should be obvious when you compute the distributions of each base.Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
