Shotgun sequencing

Shotgun sequencing. “Coverage” is simply the average number of reads that overlap each true base in genome. Here, the coverage is ~10 – just draw a line straight down from the top through all of the reads. Reducing to k- mers overlaps.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Shotgun sequencing “Coverage” is simply the average number of reads that overlap each true base in genome. Here, the coverage is ~10 – just draw a line straight down from the top through all of the reads.

  2. Reducing to k-mersoverlaps Note that k-mer abundance is not properly represented here! Each blue k-mer will be present around 10 times.

  3. Errors create new k-mers Each single base error generates ~k new k-mers. Generally, erroneous k-mers show up only once – errors are random.

  4. So, k-mer abundance plots are mixtures of true and false k-mers.

  5. Counting k-mers - histograms Low-abundance peak (errors)

  6. Counting k-mers - histograms High-abundance peak (true k-mers)
