I have a sequenced paired end data of S.cerevisisae, sequenced by Illumina, I was wondering why there is low coverage in the centromeric regions compared to the rest of the genome. There are centromeric regions that even do not have any coverage. My average coverage is 30, and the reads are 100bp long. The fragments that was sequenced had a length of 600bp (reads are 100bp form one end and 100bp from other , paired reads)

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
