  • [ABySS] Odd histogram of mate-paired reads

    Dear,

    I try to assemble a genome with 2 paired-end sets (300, 500) and 2 mate-pair sets (2K, 5K).

    The insert size histograms, the intermediate results of ABySS (1.2.5), shows odd distribution of insert size.

    Paired-end sets show reasonable peaks, however the peaks of the mate-pair sets are placed between 0 to 500.

    To check the mate-pair reads, I estimated the insert size by mapping them to a reference genome. And we confirmed that almost of the reads were mapped within reasonable range.

    I think that ABySS may not predict insert size for mate-pair reads.

    I need your comments.

    P.s.) The plot of the histograms is attached. Please refer it.

    To do these estimation, reads are aligned to preliminary contigs. Maybe none of them are longer than 2k.

    I encourage you to try Ray (I am the author).



    Running Ray is simple:

    Code:
    mpirun -np 32 Ray -k31 \
    -p 300_1.fastq 300_2.fastq \
    -p 500_1.fastq 500_2.fastq \
    -p 2k_1.fastq 2k_2.fastq \
    -p 5k_1.fastq 5k_5.fastq \
    -o test-ray
    
    less test-ray.LibraryStatistics.txt

      Thanks for your advice.

      I'll post again after trying Ray.

        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...
