    Aligning paired end reads against a BAC

    Hello All,

    This is a question about annotation improvement using paired end RNA-seq reads. The following is the dataset I am working with.

    1) Sequenced BAC from Species A cultivar A: This is what I am annotating.
    2) Gene model transcripts from Species A cultivar B: Dataset that is getting aligned to the sequenced BAC and I have high confidence about its quality. So this is my gold set.
    3) Whole genome transcriptome paired-end reads from Species A cultivar A: This is what I want to use to improve the annotation of the BAC, for example making gene model edits. Also of high quality.

    My questions are,

    A) Should I align the paired-end reads directly to the BAC sequence using e.g. Bowtie, visualize in Apollo along with the other evidences such as (2) and then make corrections to the questionable models OR

    B) Should I align the paired-end reads to (2) first, then take these gene models and align to the BAC using e.g Gmap

    C) Is it advisable to take Whole genome transcriptome paired-end reads and align to a genome fragment such as a BAC.

    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
