Choosing the Right NGS Sequencing Instrument for Your Study

Neel — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 00:37:29 -0500

The right sequencing instrument for your study depends on your project goal. Setting aside turnaround time and price, it essentially comes down to the numbers of reads and read length you need for your experiment. Below, we've described and compared metrics for each of the instruments available. If you’re new to high-throughput sequencing and have questions about how you should design your sequencing run, fill out our free consultation form and we'll get in touch with you to help.

2 positions on the evolutionary analysis of biological sequences in Montpellier - France

Mon, 28 Sep 2015 08:25:48 -0500

The Methods and Algorithms for Bioinformatics (MAB) team at the LIRMM (computer science, robotics and microelectronics laboratory at the CNRS & University of Montpellier, France) is looking for talented individuals to fill two postdoctoral positions. We are seeking candidates with a strong background in computational evolutionary biology. The positions will start by the end of 2015.

The first of the positions (duration: 18-24 months), associated with the European VIROGENESIS project (http://www.kuleuven.be/english/research/EU/p/horizon2020/sc/sc1/Virogenesis), concerns the evolutionary analysis of viral sequences. Topics include -- but are not limited to -- phylogenetic classification of metagenomic reads and the recombination history of viruses.

The second position (duration: 1 year), associated with the Institute for Computational Biology (IBC, http://www.ibc-montpellier.fr), concerns evolutionary analyses of large-scale genomic data -- including the inference of very large phylogenies, gene/species tree reconciliation, comparative genomics, phylogenetic network inference and verification, phylogeography, the use of phylogenies to study the evolution of characters.

A one thousand year old city, Montpellier is a thriving research community with a multitude of biology and biomedical research centers. It is the fastest growing city in France where approximately one third of the population are students, and a wonderful location for outdoor activities (kite/wind surfing, sailing, river/sea kayaking, hiking and rock climbing). The LIRMM is one of the most visible computer science laboratories in France.

Common steps for reads mapping !

BioStar — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 02:48:02 -0600

Mapping reads to a reference genome is an essential step in many types of genomic analysis, such as variant calling and gene expression analysis. Here are some general steps to follow for mapping reads to a genome:

Choose a read mapper: There are many read mappers available, such as BWA, Bowtie, and HISAT2. Choose a mapper that is appropriate for your type of data and research question.
Index the reference genome: Before mapping reads, the reference genome needs to be indexed. This involves creating an index of the genome sequence that allows the mapper to quickly find matches to the reads. Most mappers have their own indexing tools.
Prepare the read data: The reads should be in a format that is compatible with the mapper. Most mappers accept FASTQ or BAM files. Depending on the quality of the data, it may need to be filtered or trimmed before mapping.
Run the mapper: The mapper is run with the command-line interface or using a graphical user interface. The specific command depends on the mapper being used, but typically involves specifying the input data, reference genome, and output file format.
Evaluate the mapping results: After the mapping is complete, the results should be evaluated. This includes assessing the quality of the mapping, such as the mapping rate, the number of mapped reads, and the mapping quality score.
Post-processing: Depending on the analysis being performed, post-processing of the mapped reads may be necessary. This can include filtering reads based on quality, removing duplicate reads, and calling variants.

Overall, mapping reads to a reference genome is a complex process that requires careful consideration of the type of data, the research question, and the specific mapper being used.
