    calling SNPs

    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?

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        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.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
