  • Is this assembly reasonable?

    I have completed some de novo assemblies of MiSeq generated 250PE reads with Minia and SSPACE. I've posted a description of the outcomes and some quality checks at the following site:

    http://www.dartergenomics.org/tallapoosa-darter-genome

    For those of you with experience in assemblies, could you please look this over and let me know if the scaffold distributions I ended up with are reasonable given the MiSeq data?

    Thanks.

    As an author of Minia, I would say that it looks good, but I would be a bit biased Thanks for using the software.

    The k=73 min_abundance=2 assembly appears to be better than the k=63 min_abundance=3, consistently over all metrics. Thus you could focus on the k=73 one.

    I have not tested them, but two tools can help you further evaluate accuracy metrics of an assembly without a reference:

    I'm sorry, your page cannot be found on this site.


    Also you mentioned that there are ~53M paired reads, yielding 13x coverage. Does each of the 53M paired reads consist of two mates of length 250bp? if so the coverage should be multiplied by two.

      Thanks for the references.

      And to be clear, there are 53 million individual reads.

        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...
