Any one work with colorspace data and have experience with Shrimp? I'm starting to work with such data and am exploring my options...

No, I think Shrimp is just too slow for the number of reads you get. I will try to do a comparison with ZOOM! and BFAST next week though, mainly for aligning reads that were discarded by corona. -
Thanks! This saves me time to figure out Shrimp... I look forward to your comparison between Zoom and Bfast.
I do something similar for Illumina - first Eland and then Bowtie...Comment

Chipper.. have you tried CLC Bio?Comment

How about MAQ?Comment

I hated Corona for my applications. I liked SHRiMP for shorter reads (25 nt) but it's too slow for longer reads. Currently testing ZOOM, which looks good. Interested in other suggestions within reasonable academic means....Comment

although MAQ is not truly designed to work with SOLiD data, so functions have been added to convert solid reads to fastqComment

(correct me if I'm wrong)
When colorspace data is converted to sequence, there is a significant loss of information... for example, single mismatch in colorspace may result in 2 mismatches in sequence.
So I think methods that work exclusively in colorspace are preferable.Comment

Align in colorspace
No doubt about it, alignment needs to be done in colorspace for SOLiD. Makes a significant difference in useable data.Comment

yeah.. that's interesting cuz I'm sure Heng know about this problem. Perhaps its just a quick hack for now.. and they'll have more in the pipeline.Comment

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...Today, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
