    Sequencing/Capture problems

    Has anyone experienced that the sequences generated after the capture are mostly those not included in the capture??
    I have just looked at 1/10 individuals so far, but none of my selected genes have any reads mapping to the exons, in some cases there are some reads in the introns... I am thinking all my precious sequences are still stuck to the beads
    Any thoughts?

    Are you seeing very low target enrichment or no enrichment?

      I am seeing reads spread all over the genome, including the Y chromosome in samples that are supposed to be female. When I zoom into one of my genes of interest, there are no reads mapped to that area or there might be some in the intronic regions, but no reads mapped to the exons which are the areas I targeted.

        The X and Y chromosomes have regions of homology. In our last whole exome capture we got about 150X coverage from a HiSeq lane.

        You will always get some reads mapping to the genome since the capture efficiency is not 100%. You should also get high coverage in the flanking intron regions up to about 100 bp from the splice junction.

          So it's almost like you did a reverse-capture. Which system did you use? Did you swap a wash aliquot with your captured DNA aliquot maybe?

            Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
            by SEQadmin2



            Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

            Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
            by SEQadmin2



            Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

            There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

            Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
            by GATTACAT
            Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
