  • contig overlaps in velvet 1.2.03

    Hi, I did a denovo assembly using velvet 1.2.03 which gave me 1626 contigs,

    However, when I examined the contig.fa output by velvet, eg
    >NODE_1331_length_2655_cov_63.920151
    >NODE_1395_length_1978_cov_42.813953
    ...

    I found 689 contigs have tail-to-tail matches with each other by doing BLAST, such as
    NODE_1331_length_2655_cov_63.920151: 2656 tgcggctggtcggctcgtcgcaggcgaacatgttcgcctccatc 2699
    ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
    NODE_1395_length_1978_cov_42.813953: 2022 tgcggctggtcggctcgtcgcaggcgaacatgttcgcctccatc 1979


    Can anyone tell me why didn't velvet merge those overlaps? Is that correct for me to join contigs into larger contigs? Thank you!

    These are called repeats. You probably have more than 2 contigs with this sequence on one end. Therefore, Velvet did not merge them because that would cause an assembly error, which produce chimeric contigs.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...
