  • How would sequence overrepresentation affect the quality of a De Novo assembly?

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to prepare two files containing several millions of illumina RNA pair-end reads for a De Novo assembly using Trinity, and, as I posted the other day I have some doubts about how to prepare the datasets in order to obtain the best transcriptome assembly.

    In this case my doubt is about haw would affect the assembly the overrepresentation of some sequences. My datasets have a deep coverage and, as a result, I have a great overrepresentation of some (non-artifact) sequences (some of them representing up to the 0.2% of the total number of sequences) and a huge level of sequence duplication (73% aprox.). Are this parameters important for the quality of the assembly? How can I solve this if it is important? Should I normalized the datasets before performing the assembly?

    I would be very grateful if someone can help me with this (at least for me) puzzling issue.

    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...
