  • Trinity - de novo transcriptome assembler

    A group from Broad institute published a new de novo transcriptome assembly program in Nature Biotech. The paper came out in electronic version in April, and a collaborator of mine pointed it out to me. Until then, I was getting too frustrated with Velvet+Oases (especially Oases), because Oases was too demanding for RAM requirement. We have been using Trinity for transcriptome assembly since then, and I am so far happy with the results. Trinity seems to do the job with much less RAM.

    I will post a comparison in my blog (http://www.homolog.us/blogs/) over the next few days and let you know here.

    I am finding Trinity to be dreadfully slow (days to run) on anything significant (say, a single Illumina hiScan lane). I suspect that this is because of the 'inchworm' part of the pipeline is single-CPU and perhaps the 'chrysalis' part is as well. I will be interested in reading what you discover.

    Nice blog, BTW.

      When I was a student at Purdue, my computer science teacher used to tell us that a slow program is better than one that does not run For some of my data sets, Velvet+Oases failed due to RAM limit, but Trinity at least produced some results, although after 20 hours.

      >Nice blog, BTW.

      Thank you. You may enjoy today's post on de Bruijn graphs, where I explained why transcriptome assemblers are different from genome assemblers.

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin


        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 on Modified Bases...

        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...
