Do the default parameters of Bowtie2 (sensitive: `-D 15 -R 2 -L 22 -i S,1,1.15` (default in `--end-to-end` mode)) provide good enough results to publish for assembling Illumina HiSeq unpaired 101 bp reads to a reference chloroplast genome? I don't know how to change parameters and wouldn't know what to change them to even if I could. The default parameters seem to be giving good results. Any suggestions?

It kind of depends on the question you are trying to answer. obviously. But I would say the answer is yes, there's no pressing need to change the params unless you have a specific reason to. It's fairly key to know the % of reads that have mapped successfully, and it's also worth examining the alignment (e.g. samtools tview or a windowed viewer like Tablet) to check there are no obvious misalignments.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
