  • Targeted sequencing

    Hi,

    we are planning to do targeted resequencing for genetic diagnostics in our laboratory using the FLX instrument with titanium chemistry.
    I now wonder if I should align the results (we do not have results yet, only theory) against the whole human genome or if it's enough to align against the targeted genes?

    We usually align against the genome since with Agilent whole exome sequence selection you get ~100 bp of flanking intron sequence. You can detect mutations affecting splicing by including the intron sequence in your alignment.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
