I have a combination of 454 and Illumina reads. I am interested in using programs such as velvet, mira, etc. I know that these programs require the reads be trimmed of polyA tails, vectors, bad quality, etc. The Newbler assembler program will automatically trim reads of polyA tails and bad quality, and the sequencing keys. This trim information is outputted in the 454TrimStatus.txt file. Instead of using programs such as Lucy or Seqclean for my 454 reads, can I just use the trim points from the TrimStatus file?

If so: MIRA has own routines to clip sequences, and as with other assemblers, you should be very careful not to trim your data set twice! E.g.: the first time, a poly-A trim might indeed clip away the poly-A, but if you perform it a second time on the trimmed sequence, you might get unlucky and a comparatively long A-stretch within the valid sequence might then be mistaken as sequence to be clipped. Not good.
Anyway: either use a trimmed data-set and then tell all assemblers not to perform certain clippings, or take the original data set and tell the assemblers what to trim.

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...-

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...-
