  • 454 sequencing data coverage

    Dear All,

    I am currently working on 454 sequencing data. The average length of reads is ~200bp, and coverage is ~8-10X.

    Does anybody tell me how the data coverage is? Is it ok or not?
    Because when I do annotation, I found many many single nucleotide changes (mutation/insertion/deletion).

    Thank you.

    de-novo or refguided?

    We usually work with ~30x coverage when dealing with both denovo and refguided assemblies (FLX), Though you might need a bit less for refguided. This is for bacterial genome size projects (1-8Mb) here.

      We usually do 20x de novo assembly. This works for either FLX or Titanium.

      Sounds that you are still doing FLX.

      454 Titanium paired end data improved a lot compared to FLX paired end. Now I would think perferrably, 10x shot gun, and 10x paired end.

      Recently I did a de novo assembly on a , 454 machine can run 2 pads in same runs. 1 pad for shot gun, another pad for paired end data in same run. The fungi assembly worked well for us.

        hlu,

        I don't think the Titanium paired end kits are available yet. Are you doing a home brew paired end with Titanium?

          I am using early access 454 Titanium pairs end kits.

          There are not out there yet public. I heard from 454 sales that they will be out possibly within a month. So it will be there soon.

            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...
