Dear All, I am Sriram, a post-doc in NCI.
I am writing to ask help regarding whole genome sequencing data for cancer cells and cell-lines that might be publicly available. We are interested in looking at certain repeat sequences and their status in these cancers. Status means- deleted, expanded etc. We want to compare the sizes of the repeats in cancer with the lengths from reference genome. We think Illumina Short Sequencing Reads might not be totally applicable since we cannot map through the repeats. I would really appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks, Sriram
