Study Notes
Advances in Genomic Sequencing Technologies and Strategies
- Assembly using short reads combined with large mate libraries at different coverages helps assemble larger contigs
- Comparisons between assembly programs should consider speed, error, number of contigs, and contig length
- Velvet is a highly efficient genome assembly program for short DNA sequence reads
- Genome re-sequencing aims to gather data on genetic variation through mapping reads to a known reference sequence
- Structural variation analysis leverages the distance and orientation between paired reads to provide insights on genome structure
- Bridge amplification is used in Illumina sequencing flow cells to amplify DNA fragments for sequencing
- N50 for a given genome assembly with contig lengths of 5mb, 25mb, 40mb, and 30mb is calculated as 30mb
- Large scaffolds in genomes with many repeats can be generated using mate pair libraries and methods that produce very long reads
- Whole genome sequencing involves sequencing the entire genome, while enrichment targets specific genomic regions
- Cost-saving approaches for genome variation at the population level include low coverage whole genome sequencing, reduced-representation sequencing, and targeted enrichment
- Considerations for sequencing include capture amount, specificity, variability, reproducibility, cost, and input DNA
- Advantages of low/ultra-low coverage sequencing include data for the entire genome of multiple individuals and increased likelihood of detecting all alleles
