  • About Insert, Insert size and MIRA mates.file

    Hello All,
    I am confused about what an Insert actually is ? And what is an insert size ?
    I am dealing with 454 paired end data. How is a Linker different from an Adaptor?

    I will be using MIRA's sff extract to extract the fasta and qual files from the sff files.
    So does the sff files have read info this way:

    |-----75----|------------------------100-----------------|-----75-----|

    i.e - Seq.forward - Linker - Seq.reverse ??

    In the above, what is an insert ? and whats the size ?
    So do each of the reads in an sff have the above format ?

    So in the MIRA's mates.file setup can I just use the following default format for the mate pairs ?

    pair (.*)\.f (.*)\.r

    Please help me out with my confusions:

    Thanks

    Aarthi

    In addition, in the Newbler metrics of the assembly, for a particular sff file it says about the 'pairedReadStatus'
    pairDistanceAvg = 2247.3
    pairDistanceDev = 561.8

    Now is this information about the assembly status or the raw reads status ?
    Is pairDistanceAvg the Insert size ????

      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...
