  • Improving bacterial genome assembly


    Deall seqanswers community, hope you are all doing well.
    I have sequenced and assembled 8 bacterial genomes of the same species.
    The initial assembly was constructed using paired-end reads from a Miseq and was rather satisfying (to draw first conclusion).
    I also have long reads from PacBio of the same genomes and I would like to take advantage of both type of reads to improve my assembly and portray final conclusions with confidence. I am thinking of a scaffold approach whereby the Pacbio reads will be used to join contig. I would like you to guide me on a way forward.
    I am not comfortable with Unix command line

    Sincerely,

    Several tools such as SPAdes support hybrid assembly using illumina and pacbio reads. Their test suggested illumina reads only generated 92 contigs, while illumina+pacbio generated 5 contigs for E coli K12 using SPAdes.

      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...
