  • Will this stand up in genome curation court?

    The sequence in question is an approximately 2.2 Mb RS1 SMRT cell=4 Neisseria genome that i would like to seek your guidance on.
    I used my assembly of this organism (which is the first single contig sequence of its strain's kind) as a reference for SNP calling using the breseq pipeline.

    1) Every one of my results has an identical "unassigned missing coverage evidence" section. This consists of 2 sections at either end of the genome.
    2) A graph displaying coverage over the course of the genome shows an average of 500x but two small negative spikes of quality at either end of the genome
    3) I annotated my assembly using prokka and visualised the .gbk on artemis.
    These two regions share 100% complemented homology
    i.e. with numbers representing put. ORFS
    1,2,3,4-high coverage genome-4,3,2,1
    in 13000/16000 base pairs (these are annotated with the same hypothetical proteins and tbpB (transferrin binding protein) variants

    Based off this body of evidence, am i justified in trimming this sequence off my final assembly which i will publish?

    P.s.
    I wanted to give the community all of my annotation files as well, is there a resource to this via refseq or should I privately host them somewhere?

    Sounds like the assembly needs 'circularizing' https://github.com/PacificBioscience...g-and-trimming

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
