  • Velvet usage

    Hi everyone!

    I'm trying to use velvet to work with unmapped_reads of a rna-seq experiment, to make a kind of quantification of the contaminants of my sample.

    I was reading this quick guide about velvet usage http://www.embnet.org/sites/default/...d_Oases-QG.pdf and some doubts occurred me:

    1st doubt - It's written that -exp_cov must be used only with genomic data, so, I can't use it my data, ok?
    2nd doubt - If I mustn't use the -exp_cov, can I use the -cov_cutoff?
    3rd doubt - How are the coverage values calculated? Is it a kind of percentage related to the size of each read?

    Thank you all!

    Velvet is probably not the best assembler to use for assembling assorted junk in RNA-seq, which will probably have very high coverage variability. You might try Spades or Tadpole, both of which are much more tolerant of strange input, and don't need fixed coverage settings.

      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...
