  • velvetg coverage parameter

    Hi everyone, I am new with Velvet and I have some questions regarding velvetg parameters.

    I am doing the de novo assembly for my Illumia 101 bp PE reads (HiSeq 4000), with a depth sequencing of 90 millions of reads per sample. The inserte size of my libraries is of 300 bp, so i have adjust the next parameters to:
    -min_contig_lgth 350 -ins_length 300
    Is that correct?

    Regarding coverage, as the depth sequencing is high (90 M), I was thinking of setting a mínimum coverage value to avoid sequencing errors, but at the same time I do not want to lose information, so I am not sure how to fix this parameter. Is this parameter set with the –cov_cutoff option? As i don’t know the expected coverage of unique regions, should I add –exp_cov auto to my options?

    I would enormously appreciate you suggestions!!

    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...
