The results Window - Gene centered analysis

This is an example analysis using the 26 000 ESTs published by Torres et al. 2008. The ESTs were mapped to the D. melanogaster genome and SNPs were identified without using quality sequences.

 

general information Displays general information about the analysis. Important: This also contains the SNP-benchmarks
strand either the original or the reverse complement of an EST may align with a reference gene. Choose whether you want to include SNPs being derived from EST which are aligned unchanged or as reverse complement
min. tags gene minimum number of ESTs mapping to the reference sequence (gene)
min. tags SNP-site minimum number of ESTs mapping to a SNP-site. SNP-sites with less tags are not considered.
min. alleles minimum number of alleles at a SNP-site
max. alleles maximum number of alleles at a SNP-site
min. PIC minimum PIC at a SNP-site
min. dist minimum distance from the alignment end for each individual SNP
max. low qual. maximum number of low alignment quality tokens in the neighborhood of a SNP ('-','N'). When the 454-adapted mode was used, this feature can be used to restrict the number of homopolymers in the immediate neighborhood of a SNP. For example when this value is set to 2 only one homopolymer of length 3 or two homopolymers of length 2 are allowed in the neighborhood. see details
min. qual. site minimum sequence quality at SNP
min. qual. neigh minimum average sequence quality in the neighborhood of a SNP

The results in detail

The following example is derived using the data published by Torres et al. 2008 .

FBgn0013686 2665 1429 10 2068 999 10 83.51
FBgn0013674 340 226 3 77 77 3 96.58

FBgn0013678 64 22 6 56 20 6 66.07
a b c d e f g h

 

a the ID of the reference sequence (gene ID) ; database sequence ID
b number of SNPs at the reference sequence
c number of all ESTs (tags) having a SNP. Not every EST mapping to a gene will also map to a SNP-site
d number of SNP-sites at the reference sequence
e active subset: number of SNPs at the reference sequence
f active subset: number of ESTs having a SNP
g active subset: number of SNP-sites at the reference sequence
h percent of SNPs being derived from ESTs which are aligned to the reference sequence without reverse complementig the EST. In short: percent of sense SNPs; for active subset
