[Samtools-help] Samtools data source questions

[Jiaming L. <jia...@ge...>]

Hi


I am Jiaming Liu, research associate from Genetrack Biolabs, Canada. Our
company is planning to setup Next Generation Sequencing system for genetic
diseases and cancer gene testing. My job is to assess each platform and
analysis software.


I am very interested in your alignment software, Samtools. But I still have
several questions need to be clarify:


1, for the reference sequences, do you pre-load them or we have to upload
them? If you have pre-loaded reference sequences, how often you update the
references?

2, for clinic mutation databases, how complete are they? how often do you
update them? If possible, where your data sources are from, specifically,
BRCA1, BRCA2...

3, if we have up-to-date databases, can we upload them and use them in this
software?

4, how many labs are using your software, such as...



After I receive your response, I will further discuss with you for more



Thanks

Jiaming Liu
