Hi! I have sequenced entire genome of S.cerevisiae with Illumina and have paired end data. Now I am supposed to locate any translocation present in the genome. First I was planning to search for the regions that have higher coverage. My translocated strain did not sporulate and it just divided by mitosis as diploids. Since translocation results in transferring one part of chromosome to another, when I obtain fragments from entire genome to sequence, the number of translocated sequence doesnt change so the coverage should not be high in that regions. Now I am planning to search for the reads that have mate pairs in different chromosomes. Please tell me if my ideas are reasonable.

Illumina coverage is very nonuniform, particularly with amplified data (which yours may or may not be); also, features like can cause high coverage. I think you'll get too much noise to see any signal.
Looking for mate pairs on different chromosomes is better. Perhaps you could map the reads, filter for only reads that are improper pairs, and then look at the coverage for just those - they should be high in areas of translocations, and very low everywhere else.

How can it be considered as amplified sequences if it was just moved from one chromosome to another?

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

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...-
