    Is a compositional bias in Sequence Content of initial bases in WES reads normal?

    Per Base Sequence Content

    Any experienced Whole Exome Sequencing analyst/experimentalist:

    the Per Base Sequence Content of the initial couple of bases from the 3' end of my WES reads have some type of compositional bias. Is this some "harmless" procedural or technical bias occurring during sequencing or is it something to be worried about for the downstream analysis?

    It's entirely normal and does not affect the results.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2




        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

        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
