    Mapping to Genome- 'The Rules?'

    Hi guys,
    I am having trouble with the mapping-to-genome process. I have a dataset of illumine reads. I have filtered them accordingly. In generating this dataset, we included some canine genes. I have mapped the short canine reads to the dog genome using bowtie to determine how many of the reads are useful. I have since assembled the reads into larger contgs of ~400bp. I now want to determine the quality of these contigs. Is it better to use blast to 'map' these large contains to the canine genome or to attempt to map them using bwa, bowtie, novoalign or some other type of mapping algorithm? What is the general rules of mapping?
    Thank you!

    bwasw mode of BWA is probably the best way to map a modest number of reads/assemblies very quickly yet with high sensitivity. Plus, you'll have SAM output which can feed into a lot of downstream tools.

      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
