I am doing a denovo genome sequencing and i get the kmer spectrum using clean reads of two paired end libarary data(see attach files). From the plot, i see high sequencing bias and two peaks, but i can not know whether the first peak(highest) is homozygous peak or heterozygous peak, the two situation are quite different. Whether the second peak (2X peak) is from large fragment duplication? or the first peak is heterozygous peak?

It is difficult to differentiate between zygosity effects and duplications. In part it depends on the type of organism you are sequencing. Plants are notorious for duplications but then it can be easy to breed them to be homozygous. So a bit more information would be appreciated.

From the kmer spectrum, if the first mean peak is heterozygous peak, then it is so serious. I extracted the longest scaffold and two chloroplast scaffolds from the draft assembly, it shows 1.6%,2.1%,3.1% SNP (i use a simple ciritera: base coverage>=5 and highest nuc > 80%). It is very puzzled (chloroplast SNP>nuclear genome SNP?). One paper sequenced the chloroplast genome but very fragment(the author's explanation is repeats).
Do you know why Dunaliella salina still not public one usable version from JGI? Our algae is near to Dunaliella salina from phylogenetic tree.

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...-

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...-
