Short read Illumina data for the de novo assembly of a non-model snail species transcriptome (Radix balthica, Basommatophora, Pulmonata), and a comparison of assembler performance [PDF]
Background: Until recently, read lengths on the Solexa/Illumina system were too short to reliably assemble transcriptomes without a reference sequence, especially for non-model organisms.

Large scale single nucleotide polymorphism discovery in unsequenced genomes using second generation high throughput sequencing technology: applied to turkey [PDF]
Background The development of second generation sequencing methods has enabled large scale DNA variation studies at moderate cost. For the high throughput discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in species lacking a sequenced reference genome,

Sequencing of natural strains of Arabidopsis thaliana with short reads [PDF]
Whole-genome hybridization studies have suggested that the nuclear genomes of accessions (natural strains) of Arabidopsis thaliana can differ by several percent of their sequence. To examine this variation, and as a first step in the 1001 Genomes Project for this species, we produced 15- to ...

A Review on Sequence Alignment Algorithms for Short Reads Based on Next-Generation Sequencing [PDF]
With recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, large volumes of data have been produced in the form of short reads. Sequence assembly involves using initial short reads to produce progressively longer contigs, and then using scaffolds to produce the final sequence.

Special features of RAD Sequencing data:implications for genotyping [PDF]
Restriction site-associated DNA Sequencing (RAD-Seq) is an economical and efficient method for SNP discovery and genotyping. As with other sequencing-by-synthesis methods, RAD-Seq produces stochastic count data and requires sensitive analysis to develop ...

POPULATION SEQUENCING USING SHORT READS: HIV AS A CASE STUDY [PDF]
Despite many drawbacks, traditional sequencing technologies have proven to be invaluable in modern medical research, even when the targeted genomes are highly variable. While it is often known in such cases that multiple slightly different sequences are present in the analyzed sample in concentrations that vary dramatically, the traditional techniques ...
