I want to know how hgap select the seed. The paper says it selects the seed with more than 20x coverage, but doesn't say how it counts the coverage.

The seed will be selected automatically if you input the expected genome size. Coverage is a simply number of bases / genome size. -
Do that mean the automatically selected seeds are long enough and has enough coverage? Does it calculate kmer frequency?Comment

HGAP is an overlap consensus based assembler and thus no kmer statistics are computed during the assembly process.Originally posted by Rui Guo View Post
As rhall stated, When you set up the run, you input a Genome Size (bp). The algorithm will sort the subreads by length, compute the quantity of bases necessary to obtain appropriate coverage for the Genome Size (bp) that you input during setup and select the longest data necessary to obtain the 30X coverage.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
