  • Deciding how many reads map to a plasmid or to a genome

    Hi all,
    I have illumina genome reads for an E. coli a collaborator is studying. The prep used had a plasmid as well. I have two questions:

    1) For the reads that match both (e.g. lacI gene), how can I tell which came from the plasmid and which came from the genome?
    2) Should I normalize by dividing on the total reads per library or only the mapped reads in a library?

    Thanks in advance...

    #1 = Unless there is/are SNP's which are captured by that particular read you would not be able to tell where the read came from. I assume the sequence of the gene is otherwise identical?

      You are correct GenoMax. They are identical. Appreciate it.

        If you'are using "bwa sampe" for aligning, the documentation says:

        Generate alignments in the SAM format given paired-end reads. Repetitive read pairs will be placed randomly.
        I don't know if it is the case with "bwa mem" or with "bwa aln".

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
