  • velvet expected cov

    Can any one tell how to set the expected coverege parameter in velvet denovo assembly , if i have the illumina reads of 0.1x cov.

  • #2
    Take a look at section 5.2 and 5.3 of the velvet manual:
    5.2 Choice of a coverage cutoff (14)
    5.3 Determining the expected coverage (16)

      hi ,thanks for your reply...From the manual it is stated that with reference to the graph the expected cov is calculated as 14x ,so what i understood is we should take the value of the highest peak.am I right ?

        You could always just use "-cov_cutoff auto" (take a look at the manual), but I prefer to avoid magic when possible.

        I would make the graph and use it as a starting point, although I recommend then tweaking the parameters and seeing what you get (especially do'able since it is done in the second step, velvetg).

          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 on Modified Bases...

          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...
