    BBTools for analyzing Ion Torrent generated data?

    Hello,
    We are performing full length plasmid sequencing using Ion Torrent's GeneStudio S5 prime system and are not detecting large INDELs (~150bp) using Torrent Suite software. We have heard that BBTools work great for detecting INDELs with Illumina platform.
    Has anyone used BBTools to analyze fastq files generated from Ion Torrent system? Any suggestions will be appreciated!

    Torrent variant caller uses "flow order" information to significantly improve accuracy. No 3rd party tool incorporates this kind of special handling for Ion data so best to stick with the native variant caller

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2




      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, detection...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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
