Real datasets from Illumina and Ion Torrent

[ashishjwr]

I need Illumina and Ion Torrent datasets for same organism and strain for my project work. Reference genome should also be available. I searched on Ion community, NCBI, DRA search but could find only 2-3 datasets which can be used in my project. I cannot use human genome datasets as it is too large. Can someone suggest me some other websites where I can find some more real datasets. Thanks.

Look in http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22827831 & http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22522955. You should be able to find a number of E.coli K12 MG1655 datasets; that is the sample that the platforms love to use for test runs.

Thanks a lot krobison. These papers seem to helpful. I have ecoli k12 mg1655, ecoli DH10B and plasmodium 3D7 datasets but I need more and having more varieties and these papers seem to provide such datasets.
