So, I have this contig that I presume represents a complete phage genome. For some reason, especially the contig ends have very high coverage. Could anyone here offer any insight as to why this might be. Also, some of the reads near the 5'-end of the contig have their pair near the 3'-end of the contig. Does this imply a circular conformation (I'm thinking rolling circle) or could it be due to the presence of perhaps 100s of copies of the phage genome around the time of sequencing?

Originally posted by maubp View PostSome linear phage do (at least temporarily) form circles, so that might be why.
Another possibility is the enriched ends might reflect PCR primers used in any selective amplification step?
Originally posted by ctseto View PostWhat's the insert size distribution for the reads at the ends? If the insert size is equal to the length of the contig, it would be the ends pairing with each other across a rolling circle, perhaps.savetherhino.org

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
