  • Genome assembly Using Celera Assembler with corrected data from LoRDEC

    Hi,
    I corrected PacBio reads Using LoRDEC tool , now I have a corrected fasta file.
    My question,
    Can I use Celera Assembler with the corrected reads from LoRDEC to do assembly?

    Yes, you should be able to treat them like any other accurate long read, i.e. sanger. What coverage do you have, raw pacbio, corrected pacbio. You will need ~15x corrected pacbio. If you have >35x raw pacbio I would also try going straight into canu https://github.com/marbl/canu

      Unfortunately the raw read coverage is low ~1x , so I can not go for canu.

      To run celera assembler

      runCA -d directory -p prefix myPacBio.frg

      How to create myPacBio.frg from corrected pacbio read that are fasta file no quality ;

      so do I need first to run something like this !!

      java -jar convertFastaAndQualToFastq.jar corrected_pacbio.fasta > corrected_pacbio.fastq

      then use fastqToCA like this:

      fastqToCA -libraryname MycorrectedPacBIo -technology pacbio-corrected -reads corrected_pacbio.fastq > ca.frg

      Or there is another solution

      Thanks a lot for help.

        It isn't possible to assemble 1x of data no matter what the error. Given the statistics of coverage much of the genome will not be sampled, i.e. 0 coverage.
        Even gap filling an existing assembly will require at least 5x, preferably closer to 15x. https://github.com/PacificBioscience...Bio-Long-Reads

          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...
