Is it applicable to Ion Torrent data sets #16

Hi,

I would like to know if your method can apply to COI metabarcoding data sets resulting from Ion Torrent sequencing technology.

Regards,

Najoua

Hi Najoua, We have not still tested DnoisE with Ion Torrent data. However I think the DnoisE algorithm can be usefull. Our correction aproach is based on the Edgar's formula for Unoise. If you find a better correction equation you can change the DnoisE code to fit your own findings. You can edit lines 393, 496, 578, 683, 773, 892, 990, 1110 of the denoise_functions.py script. You'll see that they are almost identical and correspond to Edgar's formula. If you want to use DnoisE with your modifications I can help you to rewrite the code if necessary. Hope to hear from you soon! Adrià
