  • An estimation of coverage

    Hi All,
    I am very new for the sequencing world. To be honest, I haven't touched any sequencing data yet. So forgive me if my question is trivial.
    I plan to run RNA-seq for 5 human samples in one lane on Illumina GA IIx. Now it could provide 40 million reads per lane. I order the 100bp pair-end reads.
    So I am considering to estimate the coverage like how my experiment covers the low expressed genes, I did an estimation like this:
    Now for each samples, it covers
    8 X10^6 reads, so 8X10^8 base pair
    Assume that the average gene length for human genome is 1000 bp, and the for each base pair, the coverage of 10 would be enough to make sure it's real, so for each gene we need 10^4 base pairs to make it sure;
    1/(8X10^6/10^4)~ 0.001%, so it means for gene whose expression abundance ~0.001% of the whole transcriptome, we can detect it.
    Since I have to write a proposal, I have think of a way to estimate it, can you tell me whether this is totally wrong or it's ok to think this way, but the number should be modified?

    Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing
    by seqadmin



    Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

    Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
    by seqadmin




    Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
