Older questions and answers

  • It is my understanding that the FASTQ files posted on the PGP web site contain reads from 55000 short exons, length 40-140. Could someone please provide an ordered list of the exons that are included? --IJ 0:30, 12 December 2008 (EST)
    • This web-page has a new "assembly" for PGP2 with coordinates for each capture region included. Please keep in mind that insertions and deletions are not present in the "assemblies". I have added a link to insertions and deletions at PersonalGenomes@Home#PGP2_Sample_Data --AWZ 22:58, 18 December 2008 (EST)
  • The FASTQ files include dinucleotide codes (like Y). Is that an indication that the particular individual is heterozygous at that locus and has both nucleotides? --IJ 0:30, 12 December 2008 (EST)
    • Yes. These are standard IUPAC codes. --AWZ 22:58, 18 December 2008 (EST)
  • The FASTQ files have nucleotides in both upper and lower case. Does the difference indicate anything about that position? --IJ 0:30, 12 December 2008 (EST)
    • Yes. Lower case indicates poor coverage. The assembly is done with Maq and default options. --AWZ 22:58, 18 December 2008 (EST)
  • Where can I find the PGP2 sequence data read by Swift? I only find the Illumina version here. --Jehyuk Lee 16:46, 23 December 2008 (EST)

Cleanup

  • It would be great if the above questions/answers could be incorporated into the main page. Maybe somebody could start an FAQ section? --AWZ 08:49, 20 December 2008 (EST)
