    454 Reads correction with Short reads ?

    Hello everybody,

    I can see that my 1Mio 454 reads are full of insertions/deletions in homopolymer regions, and of course this disrupts my ORFs in later stages (annotation step). Fortunately, I have ca 60mio Illumina reads that I can use to correct these errors. Both dataset are cDNA.

    Has anyone a preferred method to correct short sequencing error indels? If tractable, I would prefer correcting my reads rather than correcting my draft assembly obtained from those reads. I was going to use ssaha (or segemehl, qpalma, other?) to map the illumina reads on my 454 reads, and then extract a consensus by parsing the pileup file generated with samtools

    I have seen a few published, more advanced, methods available but I*do not now if one of them performs better (e.g. iCorn). Do you?

    Thanks a lot!

    I don't know if any programs will correct your reads!

    See here for another effort .. I have got it to work but am still interpreting results

      I did this once. My approach was to map the reads to the contigs (BWA -e5), realigned the indels using GATK and polished the contigs based on the the indel report. I did this multiple times as some corrections made it possible to correct other neighbouring regions.

      I dont have the polishing script any more, but I recall it as fairly simple. It should be possible to polish the reads instead, with some perl regex magic.

        Have you seen this paper?

          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
          by SEQadmin2



          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
