When my Pacbio sequencing was done I ended up with 18 subreads that each contained xxxx number of sequences (6,431,149 sequences in total for all 18 subreads). Due to particular reasons of having an allocation at a super computer I was having troubles running the Canu command that encompasses all three stages: correct, trim, assemble. So what I decided to do was individually execute the Canu-correct command on each of the 18 subreads. So now I have a list of 18 subreads that have been corrected. My questions is would there be a difference if I would have executed the Canu-correct command on one single file that was a concatenation of all 18 subreads? I ask because I am going to do some downstream analysis with the corrected reads and want to make sure that I am doing this right. Thank you!

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
