Answer: A: How to detect different chromosomes from whole genome NGS reads of a fungi?
... 1. Use an assembler suitable for your data. Saying that it is paired-end isn't enough to evaluate how the libraries were prepared or what to expect. You mentioned SOAPdenovo2, so you've presumably started to explore this. 2. You can get a sense of the number of chromosomes by looking at related sp ...

Answer: A: Cannot run HaplotypeCaller in GATK
... [AddOrReplaceReadGroups in the Picard manual][1] should tell you everything that you need to know. There's also a link to the GATK's definition list for more detailed explanations. You should also consider searching on Biostars - this has come up many times before. [1]: http://broadinstitute.gith ...

Comment: C: How to Detect Frameshifts in a Protein Alignment
... What you tend to see if something is out of frame is an overrepresentation of stop codons in the downstream sequences - not always, but it acts as a good flag (especially if you're only expecting one and it's at the end of the string). You can explore this by looking at the first, second, and third ...

Answer: A: How to Detect Frameshifts in a Protein Alignment
... What you're looking for is generally called a translation alignment. You'll start with a set of nucleotide sequences. These are converted to amino acids based on a translation table, aligned, and back-translated to their original nucleotides. This will make sure that the protein-coding genes are kep ...

Comment: C: Good quality control metrics to look out for when someone gives you BAMs
... What quality metrics to look for, besides general run-specific metrics from the reads (e.g., the distribution of base qualities), will depend strongly on what's actually in the BAMs - WGS, WES, capture, amplicons, etc. For example, a high duplication rate may suggest libraries were overamplified for ...

Answer: A: Bioinformatics Server on AWS
... I'm not a web app developer, but I'll list a few things off the top of my head re: compute and storage. You'll also need to set up a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and harden it using standard networking approaches. Instances are spawned into the default VPC unless another one is specified. Users and ...

Comment: C: How can you update position field in a VCF?
... I'm not aware of an application that directly modifies the positions of the variants (alignment of indels excluded), but I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has. If it were me, I'd simply process the VCFs as text (it's delimited after the header), looking for a chromosome/pos/ref/alt combin ...
