  • Question: canu correction process

    Dear Fellows,

    Recently, I started to use nanopore for sequencing, and use canu for the de novo assembly. After reading the manual and conduct some test run, I am curious about canu's correction process of raw nanopore data.

    By default, the canu only correct the longest reads, up to 40x of coverage, and the corrected reads are generated as a consensus of other reads. So I just wonder how the consensus generate, from the overlap information of all the raw reads, or the overlap information of only those longest, 40x-coverage reads? As far as I guess, I think it is the overlap information of all the raw reads that are used for the correction of those selected, longest reads. But I hope some senior fellows can give me a real answer. Additionally, since indel is common in nanopore reads, it is reasonable to think that there would be some gaps in the overlap column. In this situation, how the correction processes the gap in each column? gap would also be included in the consensus generation and even lead to base deletion in the corrected reads, or just ignore those gap characters and only use ATCG to generate the consesus and then correct the reads?

    Since I am still a freshman in this area, I really hope the you experts can help me about such stupid questions, many thanks for your kindness.

    Thanks.

    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...
