  • Overcalled A's in my 454 data

    I've assembled 780,000 reads of 454 sequence with the Roche gsAssembler program and I've noticed that there are a huge number of overcalled A's. Most of them seem to be associated with runs of A's, which is no surprise, but the fact that its all one base, and almost always an insertion. Its almost like the settings for acquiring that channel on the instrument were off. It looks like the program has collapsed the gaps caused by these insertions in the final contigs, but I'm wondering if this is inhibiting some of the contigs from being linked.

    Is there anyway to "turn down the A's", or "re-call" the bases in the data?

    Thanks

    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...
