Hello, I am a real bioinformatic noob. I have to start a project to make an SNP dataset from scratch. I have ~100 NGS sequencing datasets and a reference genome. My end goal is to create an SNP dataset for conducting genome-wide association mapping.
Can someone please give me a link or reference or tutorial showing a step by step procedure for making an SNP dataset from raw NGS sequence data?
I know it is hard to find a perfect tutorial as there are many. But any suggestions will be much appreciated. I really have no experience in this field and do not know from where to start. Thank you.
Based on what you wrote below this is not where you want to start. Creating a SNP dataset from scratch will be a difficult task even for someone who has been doing informatics for a while. Here is one example of a tutorial that walks you though basics.
This is a set of video tutorials that looks comprehensive.
Thank you very much for those two informative links. Yes, I can feel the difficulty level already.
