    Want to generate more data to fill in gaps

    Hello,
    This might be a stupid question.
    We are currently working on a ~5M bacterial genome assembly. Our reads data is ~8X coverage, 454 sequencing. The coverage is kind of low. So we used re-guided assembly. Now we found there were still lots of gaps (~500).
    If we want to fill in these gaps, should we resequencing the whole genome on 454? It still costs us too much. Does anybody have any other suggestions?

    Thank you very much.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
