    Manually correct heterozygous indels

    Hi there!

    Does anyone know how to deal with heterozygous indels manually? I don't know how to deal with cases where sequence in one direction shows double peaks while the sequence in the opposite direction shows NO peaks at those sites. I'm thinking that it would be right to ignore those peaks. I could be wrong. I'm just not sure...

    Make two reference sequences, one with the indel, one without. The reads that best align to the indel will align to that sequence, the ones without will best align to the other.

    That'll help you figure out of the reads are real.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
