  • A question about definition of "seed" in bwa and bowtie

    As topic ,my question about definition of "seed" in bwa and bowtie , because it can be adjust in parameters.


    If every one know please let me know! thaks!
    Best regard!

    from the bowtie manual : http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/manual.shtml

    -n/--seedmms <int> : Maximum number of mismatches permitted in the "seed", i.e. the first L base pairs of the read (where L is set with -l/--seedlen). This may be 0, 1, 2 or 3 and the default is 2. This option is mutually exclusive with the -v option.

    -l/--seedlen <int> : The "seed length"; i.e., the number of bases on the high-quality end of the read to which the -n ceiling applies. The lowest permitted setting is 5 and the default is 28. bowtie is faster for larger values of -l.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      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...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...
