FASTQ, BAM, and VCF file formats easily explained - A must watch if you have had a DNA test

Thank you so much Katharine! you saved a biotech eng. student from Mexico! 🇲🇽

Nice video!
do you know any software tool

I can use to compare the results of full genome

sequencing from two different companies?

I have bought tests from Dante and Nebula, and once

I get the results I would like to be able to compare them

and do some statistical analysis of the differences.

Great video, helped me disambiguate many concepts!

You are amazing..

Awesome video
But Im not too sure about your explanation of genome coverage
Your explanation for it sounded more like read depth

HELP

Some great explanations in your videos. I'm really curious as to what we can do with the data once we get it. Right at the end of this video, you mentioned a video that would explain some of this. Do you still plan to make this?

30 times coverage or 100 times coverage is better? Which is better on accuracy? Is 100x an over do or it is necessary to reduce the error margin?

Thank you for your information, I have a question : in exam they ask always what's the difference between FastQ and Bam file, what is the best short answer for this question?

excellent video!

Amazing! Succinct! Thank you!!!!

Thanks, you make it easy to understand. Keep going.

This was very helpful and very well explained. You are talented 🙂

Very clear video. Thank you.
Katherine, could you please explain how to convert .fastq files to .vsf. Thank you

super helpful thank you so much.... please do a video on how to use different softwares

Thank you so much. You explained all this so easily 🤗🤩

Awesome explanation... can you please tell how vcf file will look like if the segment from mother and father both have different nucleotide from that of reference?

Simple and amazing explanation.
This video deserves more views.

So the company I tested with gave me these files but none of them is transferable to the famous ancestry data bases. Is there a way to convert them?

Very good explanations!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

Awesome high quality bioinformatics video! We need more of these :)

Great go on

Thank you for the explanation! It's really confusing at first glance!

The CRAM file format is simply a newer and more compressed version of the BAM file format, for anyone who was wondering that :)
