    Mapping to SOLiD reads to draft genome

    I am presently involved in hybrid assembly and want to map my SOLiD reads against ROCHE contigs (length more than 1000bp). I approach is to map the reads with corona_lite, but facing problem with the cmap file. I found a small paragraph regarding this particular situation in corona_lite documentation but it is not that illustrative. Usually for mapping against human genome we take cmap as follows:

    1 1 path to reference for each chr. path to the double encoded file

    But for a draft genome i am confused. it tried with this following approach but i failed. i present cmap that i tried was:

    1 contig0001 path to the multifasta contig file

    Any help and guidance will be appreciable.

    with regards,
    saha

    Either make a very large cmap file with one line per contig file. Or put all of the contigs into one file and separate them by 'N's; that is the file will look like one large sequence. I usually do the latter. If you are clever with how many N's you use to separate each contig then you can get information from the mapping file; e.g., map to bases 1-1323 means contig#1, bases 1500-2300 contig #2, etc.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
