Assembly of the target ERV
1577377232 opened this issue · comments
Hi Xun,
I used IGV to check the breakpoints, and extracted the reads mapped within 150bp from TSD, assembled and compared them.(samtools)
Is there a way to assemble a more complete ERV, via discordant reads or split reads? Because I saw in the VCF file,INFO column,INFOR information is exciting! very complete. For example, INFOR=ERV3, 1,7525,7525.

Hi Dan,
Sorry, with short reads you may only be able to get the boundary sequences if the inserted TE is long. You may consider experimentally validating it in some way or long reads seq.
