Hi, at the risk of exposing my ignorance, a question: can someone point me to a reference that established the use of 30X coverage as a goal in sequencing? Where does this number come from? Why not 10X or 50X?

Usually related to the papers that used SNP arrays and NGS and tested the level of sequencing needed to call all heterozygote SNPs detected on the array by NGS or sanger sequencing. The first good example I remember is the Ventor diploid genome paper in Plos One but a number of similar examples are available. Scan the genome papers that also have a SNP array in the materials and methods and check their supplemental tables. But most I remember show diploid concordance >95% is not reached till around 26x or greater coverage

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...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
