Hi everyone,
We're currently working with SOLiD data for a project. We have 2 Mate Pair runs. When preparing a quality assessment report I noticed something weird in the F3 reads QV. While R3 reads behave like you would "normally" expect (gradually declining, median stays between 20 and 40) . F3 reads show highly volatile values where we have reads with the first 10 cycles above 70 and as high as 83 but low medians where after the 20th cycle (50 bp reads), the median stays below 20. What's your take on this? Has anyone experienced something similar?
Regards,
Fernando

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM
