    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?

          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
