  • SOAPdeNovo, get the contigs

    Hello all,
    I am writing this message because I will need help with SOAPDeNovo. Indeed, I made an assembly of Novo with this tool and I want to recover the final contigs. I'm outputting two files. The first file in .contig corresponding to contig sequences without using mate pair information . The second file is in .ScafSeq containing scaffold sequences.
    On the SOAP website , it is specified that the final contigs can be extracted by decomposing the scaffold sequences at the level of the gap regions.
    I would like to know how to achieve this decomposition in order to get the contigs?
    Hoping that you could help me I wish you a great day.
    Cordially
    (Sorry for my bad level in english)

    Why not use the scaffolds ? These are the final contigs organised into scaffolds by using the supplied probably mate pair info. This is what I have always used.

    If you still want the contigs, maybe just break the scaffolds at long N stretches ?

    If its an illumina assembly, it is likely to be pretty awful. Long reads are the way to go these days as I'm sure you know.

      Hello, I want to thank you for your answer.
      I wanted to recover contigs because I want to scaffolding from two files containing separate contigs.
      Thank you very much for your response and your help

        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...
