  • De Novo Assembly of Wheat Mitochondrial Genomes

    Hi everyone,
    I will soon be analyzing a large number of wheat and wheat wild relative mitochondrial genomes and wanted to get some advice on assembly and analysis here.

    -Library type: Nextera XT libraries generated from purified organellar DNA samples (not total genomic DNA so we don't have to worry about too much nuclear contamination).

    -Sequencing: MiSeqV3-300bp PE (longer reads should hopefully help with assembly)

    Potential QC and Assembly Options (this is where I would like to get some advice)
    1. FastQC and Trimmomatic to remove adapters and low quality bases
    2. I anticipate the coverage being really high, so subsampling reads for assembly will probably be necessary (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46174)
    3. Assembly of "Master Circle" - Geneious, Soap de novo, Velvet, Discovar. These seem like the best options, any suggestions?
    4. Annotation and Repeat Identification: Mitofy, Repeat Modeler, Reputer?



    Also, I would like to detect the smaller subgenomic circles, as well as the master circle, but I am unsure as to the best way to go about that.

    After I assemble a number of different wheat and wild relative genomes, I will be variation between them (heteroplasmy, subgenomic circle variation, etc..). I am thinking BreSeq, Discovar, Samtools, SVDetect, etc.. Any suggestions?

    So if any of you experts out there have any helpful suggestions, I would much appreciate it!

    Bump! I'm hoping some assembly experts out there have some good advice!

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...

      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...
