  • Minimum Coverage for ChIP-Seq & RNA-Seq

    Hi all,

    Can anyone please suggest what should be the minimum Coverage and Read Depth required to get meaningful results for ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq analyses.

    Thanks,
    Veer

    I don't think this question has been examined carefully to date. You may want to read the recent paper of Rozowsky et al. Nat. Biotech 27 (1) 66-75. The bottom line is different transcription factor has different saturation depth. We simply need ChIP seq data of more transcription factor to see if there is a generalized pattern for different class of TFs.

    Anyone can add more reference discussed the same matter will be really appreciated.

      Thanks SGPSling I will go through the paper Rozowsky et al. Nat. Biotech 27 (1) 66-75. My understanding of what you have posted is that the saturation depth can not be predicted in advance , it will depend on the sample used. Am I correct in my understanding?

        SGPSling is correct but I would say 1 lane for ChIP-Seq and 2-3 for mRNA-Seq are good ballparks.

          Hi, Canis: I would say the saturation depth depends on the TF you are studying. In the paper I quoted, the identified peaks saturated arount 3-4 M reads for PolII so that one lane would be enough. But for STAT1, it didn't reach plateau even when they sequenced 24 M reads.

          For most of the ChIP seq papers published so far, they usually got 1-2 M reads. So James is right that people usually do one lane for each sample in a ChIP seq experiment at this moment.

          As for now, we cannot predict the saturation depth for ChIP. But I believe with more results published in the future, one migth be able to do so. At this stage, we simply need more data to improve our knowledge.

            Sorry, don't know where the thumbs down icon come from in my last post. It is not what I want.

              Fixed!

                I said one lanes should do for ChIP-Seq and that comment is based on us geting up to 20M reads from a single lane. We routinely get over 10M reads and (I am a little gobsmacked by this) saw a sinlge control lane generate 0.97Gbp from a 42 cycle run!
                If you only get 1-2M reads then you need more lanes!
                James.

                  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,...
