  • issues with SOAPdenovo

    Hello.
    I am wondering if anyone here some some experience with SOAPdenovo.

    I am trying to assembly Illumina data, I have 3 lanes of 101 cycle PE data and 2 lanes of single read data.

    I have tried all sorts of options for running the program down to the default ./SOAPdenovo63mer all -s SOAPdenovo_config.txt -o out_

    At the end of the day (ok, only 2 hours), it is telling me 'no paired reads found' and tossed a terminal error.

    I have used this same data in both CLC and Velvet and it works fine including scaffolding in Velvet and paired mapping in CLC.

    I am sure I am doing something silly. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    ps. my config file is:

    #maximal read length
    max_rd_len=100
    [LIB]
    #average insert size
    avg_ins=200
    #if sequence needs to be reversed
    reverse_seq=0
    #in which part(s) the reads are used
    asm_flags=1
    #in which order the reads are used while scaffolding
    rank=1
    p=/common/groups/Illx/Genomic_SIPES_lane5_1_paired_trimmed_paired.fastq
    p=/common/groups/Illx/Genomic_SIPES_lane6_1_paired_trimmed_paired.fastq
    p=/common/groups/Illx/Genomic_SIPES_lane7_1_paired_trimmed_paired.fastq
    q=/common/groups/Illx/Unpaired_SIPES_PF_lane5_1_trimmed.fastq

    It has been a while since I looked at SOAPdenovo, but could you try this config ?

      Thanks.

      Unfortunately, it appears as though it was a case of RTFM more carefully. Paired reads have to be in fast-a format if in a single file. I only wasted 2 days because I didn't see that earlier. =/

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
