    Unicycler

    I know Unicycler is specialised for bacterial genome assembling from hybrid of short and long reads.
    But, is Unicycler also good for bacterial genome assembling only from short reads such as from Illumina MiSeq

    Yes, because it acts as an optimiser for Spades.. which is perfectly happy with just short read data.

      Thak you very much!
      I have one set paired (2 x250) Illumnia MiSeq data from Salmonella.
      They look good by FastaQC
      I did Unicycler assembling but I did not get a whole genome.
      The longest contig is 446213 and totally I got 59 contigs longer than 500 bp.
      What can I do next?

        Some minION sequencing?

        There's nothing wrong with that number of contigs from a 2x250 MiSeq run.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

          From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
          by SEQadmin2


          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.
