  • Inquiry: minimum length of reads for referece-based assembly or de novo assembly

    Hi all,

    While doing QC preprocessing of RNA-seq reads, what could be the minumum length of reads for a reliable assembly: reference-base or de novo assembly?

    I am a greenhand in RNA-seq area, and just wonder, when we met bad quality data, to what extent could we trim the reads?

    for example, as fastqc results shown in the attachment.
    Do I have to trim the first 10bps and the last 20bps?
    Is 50bps left enough for (tophat->cufflinks) assembly?

    Thank you very much in advance!!!!!!

      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...
