Calculation of Homopolymer errors

04-12-2010, 08:15 AM

Hi All,

Just wondering how do people actually calculate the rate of homopolymer errors in 454 data. For instance If I have a reference sequence and a couple of thousand reads. How would one go about calculating the error rate.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t

by SEQadmin2

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...

New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits

by SEQadmin2

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
