    I am currently using "gsRunProcessor 2.0.01.12".

    For refiltering I follow the steps provided in the original manual @ page 56 and further.

    Little summary of those pages:

    gsRunProcessor --template=filterOnly > filterfile.xml (change the values in this xml file to your desired values)

    And then to refilter:

    runAnalysisFilter --pipe=filterfile.xml <your_D_folder_to_reanalyse>

    But have you checked the standard filter values compared to the older software pipeline? I know we get +50% +100% more reads when tweaking the filter settings (especially in 'exotic' experiments such as bisulphite, chip-seq or pull-down (ChIP) experiments). And most of those additional reads do map and are valid.

    Nevertheless, I am quite suspicious towards improved efficiency software-based for standard experiments, especially because I got a 'hint' from a Roche tech support guy to change the value of a filter from 0.05 to 0.10 as default value, which indeed improved reads passing the filters some %s.

    When it appears to be a case of filter settings, i'd recommend you to just refilter your experiments. There is a chapter on it in the manual and it takes only 10 mins or so instead of going through the whole pipeline.
    Which Roche program and which parameters are you using to do this refiltering?

    Ahh, a zen koan variant. Sadly, those who reach enlightenment through its agency may not be disposed to post here.

    We haven't validated yet. We still need to check these differences. We looked up a few in the alignment browser and these seemed to look ok. We 've also already seen some really interesting variants being detected. Changes from "-" to "-" for example. Not really helpful

    But those are real differences, not false positives? I ask, because one way to produce more "high quality" sequence is to tune a base caller to be more "confident" without actually being any more accurate.

    I'm probably just being paranoid. More likely the alignment software was improved...

    started a topic 3-5% more seq from new Roche software

    3-5% more seq from new Roche software

    We have reprocessed a few older runs using the new "Phase C" aka "v. 2.3" Roche Data Processing software that was released last week. This involves redoing image analysis/basecalling--so it is CPU-intensive. But we see more favorable results in 454BaseCallerMetrics.txt in every case we have tried. We have seen anywhere from 3% to just over 5% more totalBases.

    Anyone else tried to reprocess older runs with the new software? If so, did you see improvements?

    PS The major improvement is that the GSAssembler (aka "Newbler") is now "cDNA-aware". EST assemblies work much better!

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    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...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
