  • Miseq de novo assembly : Ambigous base pairs (NNs) in the contigs

    Hi,

    I am using MiSeq paired-end reads (250X) coverage ..quality trimmed ..for de novo assembly using abyss ..

    In the assembly (non-scaffolded file) I am getting streches of "NNNs" which I guess could represent

    Ambigous reads

    I want to check if :

    Error correction softwares can be used to avoid this? Saying this I have read that most of the assemblers already have this step incorporated in them..

    Can anyone put more light on their experience assembing "MiSeq" data and getting the above problems?

    regards,

    Nandan

        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...
