  • Seeking engineered demo data to verify human read removal software

    Hello,

    I'm looking for demo data to assess how well (or badly) human reads removal works in our microbiome pipeline. That is, I need input data where the outcome is known so I can compare the results we obtain with the expected results.

    I assume this would work best if the input data had been carefully engineered in such a way that (1) it contains a mix of human and non-human (microbial) reads and (2) the ground truth (expected outcome) is known. I tried building my own synthetic (Illumina-based) FASTQ file of 15 human reads and 5 non-human reads but the software we are using at the moment (BMTagger) failed to identify the human reads.

    Someone must have verified the different human reads removal tools that exist but I am unable to find demo data sets. Could anyone advise and/or point me towards existing demo files?

    Thank you!
    M

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
