you'll probably need to give a few more details if you expect to get any help.. I this one 9000bp contig, 900 100bp Illumina reads, something else?
To what genome are you trying to align these bases? -
bwasw. it works for 100bp-100kbp, against the human genome.Comment

While the topic is interesting - I think your forum etiquette is a bit... well let's just say it's unconventional. You'll have to be more specific than that if you want to engage with others and get feedback.
On a side note - it is nice to see there are aligners that can handle longer reads, considering what the future brings!Comment

Problems with Mosaik package
My apologies, I was attempting to delete the entire entry and revise. I am currently working with Simian Immunodeficiency Virus short reads obtained from 454. I am working at an internship trying to gain experience in the bioinformatics field. I am trying to use the Mosaik package in an attempt to sequence these short reads. However, I am having problems with the initialization of this package. Inside the read-me is a tutorial of sorts that guides the user through a demo of the command lists, and then gives a tutorial working with a sample set of C. elegans chromosome 2 reads.
When I attempt to click on any of the programs within the bin directory, a pop up window will display for a fraction of a second and then disappear. I am quite sure that this is simply a result of my inexperience with these programs. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
