    How to decide on a reference genome

    Hi,

    We are trying to assemble an unknown bacterial genome from Ion Torrent data.

    So far we have assembled contigs using mira. We tried a few gap-filling tools but didn't get very far with that.

    We now want to find the best reference genome possible for our sequence. Does anyone have advice on how we can do this?

      Well, you could take a long contig and BLAST it, or BLAST all the contigs and see what comes up.
      When you filter out a certain bacteria make sure you map your reads to all available strains because you dont know if you sequenced a new strain or which of the existing ones.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          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          ...

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing          ...
