  • Some LSC problems

    Hello,

    I have some problems in using LSC to correct Pacbio reads. I would like to hybrid assemble E. coli MG1655 genome. Firstly, I use Illumina 100bp short reads data to correct Pacbio data by LSC. Then I assemble the corrected long reads with MIRA3. After correction by LSC, I align the corrected long reads against the reference genome to see whether the corrected reads cover the E. coli genome. However, I found some of the corrected reads could not complete map to the reference genome, suggesting errors in the corrected reads. On the other hand, I also take the corrected reads to do assembly with MIRA3. The output genome size is about 7Mb (not 4.6Mb), which suggests that the corrected long reads generated by LSC could not be utilized for genome assembly. I don't know whether LSC is proper to correct long reads of genomic sequence for de novo assembly, or do I make any mistake? Does anyone have the same experience or any suggestion? By the way, with the same data, I can manipulate pacBioToCA to get a reasonable genome assembly.

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    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...

    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...
