  • SPAdes contigs

    Hi,

    I am new to SPAdes and I have some questions. I wonder about reads, like how many reads make a contig. I don’t see any information in the SPAdes.log file. Is there a way to see the number of reads for each contig?

    Velvet used to store read information differently; which then allowed extraction of that information via a perl script.

    It may be worth mapping your original reads back to your contigs anyways-to check for changes in coverage, or to see if there are spurious gaps. Programs like Opera and REAPr rely on this mapping of the starting reads to the finished product as part of their quality control.

      Hello all!
      I am new to SPAdes too,
      I have the contigs number but I dont have info about the number of read used for make the contigs. there any way to know this information without using external programs?
      Thanks

        Hi.
        SPAdes do not output the exact number of reads mapped to the contig. However you can estimate it with help of contig length and average contig coverage (NB, it is kmer coverage for the last k used for assembly) that can be found in contig's fasta header.

          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...
