  • Newbler mapping: 50% chimeric reads?

    Hello everybody,

    I tried to map 454 reads on a genomic reference. I know the genome is not very good in term of contiguity (̃20'000 contigs). I*put below the mapping statistics. I*am a bit surprised, does anyone know the reason why 53% of my reads are considered "chimeric"?

    Second question: I made a mapping assembly of illumina reads using tophat/cufflinks/rsem. I would like to do the same reconstruction with my 454 reads now. I would be very grateful if somebody could advise on an efficient tool to do this. Ideally, it would produce an extractable gtf file or transcripts sequences. Of course I do not like the way tophat treat this: by hashing long reads. This is actually why I*tried newbler.

    Thanks a lot!

    Yvan

    As a WAG, because they cross a contig boundary? This wouldn't be surprising if your assembly isn't good, and exons of one gene are in different contigs.

    bwa-sw can do the first bit.

      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...
