  • Filtering clonal reads

    Hey,

    we are rather new to the sequencing scene and have a couple of datasets generated by different platforms of our bacterial genomes. The platforms include "older" FLX, Titanium paired (different sizes) and Illumina mate pairs.

    The 454 gives a bias for polymeric stretches, especially the Aaa's. Checking the Roche's software they seem to correct for this bias but still its point of attention. My question relates to another bias only recently made public about clonal reads (EDIT: a better term might be DUPLICATE READS :: in theory this never happens but in practice it does). It ends up with exact the same start and end in sequences which is almost impossible by chance. I heard a few people about filtering these out since they might falsely contribute to raise coverage above cutoff in assembly.

    Is there a good tool to do this or is someone willing to share their scripts. It seems a reinvention of the wheel when I need to rewrite these while many people already seem to filter their data for it....

    Thanks
    Alex

      Thanks. Missed that one. Exact what I was looking for!

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
