How hard MAPK8IP2 is to sequence with short reads, out of 100
0 · Easy100 · Hard
Almost all of MAPK8IP2's exons sit where short reads map cleanly.
What adds to it: the share of MAPK8IP2's exons in each kind of hard region
- MappabilityStretches where 100 or 250 bp reads cannot be placed uniquely, so a call there may be missing or wrong. Weight 100%.0%
- HomologySegmental duplications: copies elsewhere in the genome, such as paralogues and pseudogenes, at 90% identity or more. Weight 60%.0%
- Shared with chrYThe pseudoautosomal regions and the X-transposed region, where chrX and chrY carry the same or nearly the same sequence, so reads from either may land on the other. Weight 60%.0%
- Reference coverageGaps in the reference assembly nearby, where there is no sequence for reads to align to. Weight 50%.0%
- RepeatsTandem repeats and runs of one base, which reads slip on and may not span. Weight 30%.6.7%
- GC contentWindows under 25% or over 65% G and C, which library preparation covers thinly. Weight 20%.52%
A Dante Labs score from our own research, built on NIST's Genome in a Bottle maps of hard-to-sequence regions.How it's scoredEach bar is the share of MAPK8IP2's exon bases in that kind of difficult region. Any one kind can make a gene hard on its own, and each further kind adds less: 0 when no base is in any, 100 when every base is where reads cannot be placed uniquely.
