  • SSPACE creates tandem duplications instead of merging

    Hi all,

    I'm using SSPACE v2.0 on a set of contigs assembled through Velvet, with parameters
    -x = 0
    -z = 0
    -k = 5
    -a = 0.7
    -n = 15
    -p = 0

    Reads library is a 400bp insert PE illumina 2x90bp.

    But when connecting overlapping contigs, the soft scaffolds them with a 'N' spacing instead of merging them. Such an issue should have been corrected in the current version of SSPACE ( see http://seqanswers.com/forums/showpos...3&postcount=97 ), but it does not work for me. Moreover, some overlaps are below 50 bp, i.e. the before-correction threshold.

    Perhaps it may help, but all cases I checked for show multiple link possibilities.

    Did it happened to anyone else with SSPACE v2.0 ?

    thanks,

    seb.

    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...
