  • Collapsed reads vs overlapping paired-end reads !!??

    Hello all!


    Case:

    We did a Sequencing of three yeast strains (not s.cerevisiae) and with reference genome available!

    Illumnia MiSeq

    around 8,5 million reads each way (paired ends)

    most reads around 90-120 bp long

    high coverage: around 90x



    In the trimming /adapter removal step we saw most of our paired end reads have overlaps



    R1 ------------------------->
    R2 <-----------------------



    99% overlapping paired end reads
    1% non-overlapping paired end reads

    Question:

    Is it better for the next assembly steps (initial contig building, scaffolding)

    -> to only use single-end reads:
    Collapse the overlapping paired end reads (99 %) into single end reads (since assemblers can have problems with overlapping paired end reads) and use only this single end reads for the assembly (discard the 1%) ?

    -> to only use paired-end reads:
    use the overlapping paired end reads (99%) and the non-overlapping paired end reads (1%)?

    -> to use a mix: single and paired-end reads:
    Collapsed into single end reads (99%) and non-overlapping paired end reads (1%).

    Thanks

      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...
