HTSlib: C library for reading/writing high-throughput sequencing data

Large Scale Library Generation for High Throughput Sequencing

BACKGROUND Large efforts have recently been made to automate the sample preparation protocols for massively parallel sequencing in order to match the increasing instrument throughput. Still, the size selection through agarose gel electrophoresis separation is a labor-intensive bottleneck of these protocols. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study a method for automatic library preparatio...

Semi-Automated Library Preparation for High-Throughput DNA Sequencing Platforms

Next-generation sequencing platforms are powerful technologies, providing gigabases of genetic information in a single run. An important prerequisite for high-throughput DNA sequencing is the development of robust and cost-effective preprocessing protocols for DNA sample library construction. Here we report the development of a semi-automated sample preparation protocol to produce adaptor-ligat...

Tools for mapping high-throughput sequencing data

MOTIVATION A ubiquitous and fundamental step in high-throughput sequencing analysis is the alignment (mapping) of the generated reads to a reference sequence. To accomplish this task, numerous software tools have been proposed. Determining the mappers that are most suitable for a specific application is not trivial. RESULTS This survey focuses on classifying mappers through a wide number of c...

Compression of Structured High-Throughput Sequencing Data

Large biological datasets are being produced at a rapid pace and create substantial storage challenges, particularly in the domain of high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Most approaches currently used to store HTS data are either unable to quickly adapt to the requirements of new sequencing or analysis methods (because they do not support schema evolution), or fail to provide state of the art com...
