  • SeqMan NGen Denovo genome sequencing

    Hello! I'm just starting to use Denovo genome assembly using SeqMan NGen for looking at some reads from a 454 sequencer. The samples are from a mixed strain population of Plasmodium falciparum containing 3d7, HB3, K1, RO33, and other strains. Our previous analysis using a homegrown pipeline using ShoRAH and some in-house developed s/w for clustering has failed to show the correct frequencies of the strains in the mixture. So we are attempting to assemble the generated sequences from 454 using Denovo genome assembly in SeqMan NGen.

    Here are my beginner's questions-

    1. How do we force assembly of haplotypes w/o necessarily resorting to BAM format output? But SeqMan NGen won't allow that option w/o BAM format?

    2. How do we make use of the plethora of Advanced Assembly options in SeqMan NGen?

    3. How do we control very low frequency haps from getting collapsed into SNP contigs, but keep them as separate contigs?

    4. If someone has some guidelines to use in the setting of parameters can you please share them with us?

    Thanks much,

    Nash

    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...
