Can any body tell me what is base calling and calling SNPs?

I think it depends on the context...
But I'd say that "base calling" is the method by which some software looks at the raw data from your instrument, probably some kind of fluorescence, and decides whether there is an A,C,G or T there.
SNP calling involves comparing this info to a reference sequence, and if there is a discrepancy, deciding if the quality is good enough to justify saying "your sample has a variation" -
in most of the mutation detection software tools we need to provide forward and reversce trace files along with the reference sequence files.
What is this forward/reverse trace files and why we use this kind of aproach?Last edited by asankaf; 02-04-2009, 10:28 PM.Comment

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...Yesterday, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
