Does anybody know an opensource software package for whole genome assembly of cDNA with Illumina paired-end sequencing? I'm really looking for an assembler designed for cDNA data, not DNA. I don't think that programs like Velvet or SSAKE can deal with this kind of data (I may be wrong). MIRA seems OK but it is not quite clear whether it takes the "paired-end" feature into account when assembling cDNA data. Any help is much appreciated !!

Thx Zigster. Yes I mean the transcriptome assembly. After some research, it seems that MIRA can deal with this kind of data (EST + paired end + short read). I saw in several papers that CAP3 was used on the assembled contigs (to get larger contigs). Is this a good idea ? Do you have any advice ?

if you have 100M short reads I would give those to Velvet and then use those contigs in an alignment based program like you mentioned
i like Mira but the parameter setup is a hassle. Prepare to set aside a couple hours to read the manual.

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...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
