    Two sets of .fast5 files from Nanopore

    Hi,

    I am trying to Nanopolish a draft Nanopore genome I assembled with Canu.
    For my indexing step, I have two folders in the data given to me by the sequencing service that contain fast5 files.
    Which is the correct to use for indexing Nanopolish?

    I have one set, in a folder called fast5, which contains folders 0 to 215, each containing fast5 files that are small (20 kb to 1000 kb).

    I have a second set, in another folder albacore-2.2.5-FLO-PRO001-SQK-LSK109-by_dir, which contains folders 1 -215, each containing:
    configuration.cfg
    pipeline.log
    sequencing_summary.txt
    sequencing_telemetry.js
    workspace/
    which contains:
    fastq_runid_*.fastq
    0/
    containing fast5 files that are larger (33kb to 10,000 kb)

    The names of the files in fast5/1 or albacore*by_dir/1/workspace/0 are exactly the same but differ in size.

    I'm leaning toward the larger files as their folder shares a dir with the sequencing_summary.txt. But I'm really not sure. Anyone see this before?

    Thank you

    As far as I'm aware, it doesn't matter. Nanopolish uses the called fastq files together with the signal in the fast5 files, so both should work. I expect the main difference between the two fast5 file types is that one will include the called sequences as an additional folder within the fast5 files.

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
