I'm not sure about your specific query, but keep in mind that sequencing also has an error rate. So I wouldn't trust data from individual reads.

Viral Genome reconstruction
Hi! I have some reads from sequencing a viral genome. We are analyzing readings with two matches, and we calculate the existing distance between both matches, for which we carry out histograms. I would like to know how can I distinguish if the regions that do not match (cuts) are due to chance or not?
It is about Avibirnavirus, it has its own polymerase called VP1. It seems that the areas that are not replicated are due to the fact that they are attached to another viral protein called VP3 , which has a protective action on the genome. VP3 requires a minimum size of 9bp to join.
Initially we used blast on the reads from the sequencing, and we are currently working with the reads that were discarded after using blast. From these discarded readings we are only using those that had two matches. We have calculated the distance between both matches and made histograms of these in which it is observed a density function with linear probability with a maximum in 0 and a minimum in the length of the genome.
However, as the multiplicity of infection of this virus increases, the distribution becomes irregular. For this reason, we think that it is possible that the reorganization of the genome after replication is carried out randomly.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

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...-
