    Difference between mate pair and pair end

    Hi All,

    i am confused between two terminology Mate paired and Pair end. Please help me out on this.

    Thanks

    Even i have a doubt regarding 'mate-pair inner distance' parameter option -r which is essential to give while running tophat with pair-ends.

    Can someone help me how to determine the mate-inner-dist (-r) if i know the reads size but not the fragment size.
    For example if my reads length (paired-reads) is of length 50 bp and in another set the reads length (paired-reads) is 45 bp.

        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.
