  • Align full length contigs instead of reads

    Hello,

    Splice aligners like HiSAT2 and STAR are optimised to map short reads (~100bp) to large genomes. I have assembled contigs available. I wish to align those contigs to the genomes. Do you think using HiSAT2 and STAR to align the contigs to a long genome will be a good choice? If not, could anyone suggest a better alternative?

    Thank you

    You could use mapPacBio.sh from BBMap (which chunks input sequences into 6 kb pieces and then aligns them).

    In this size range though you could use BLAT or LASTZ as other alternatives.

        LAST and GraphMap should also work.

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            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...
