  • Illumina assemblies (w/ Edena) into Celera assembler

    Hi,
    I am doing de novo assembly with a lot of 454 and Illumina data that i have for my 7.3 Mb bacterial genome.

    Data i have:
    1.5 million 454 FLX and Titanium reads (average length ~320 bp)
    160 000 mate-pair mates from a 10 kb 454 Tit library

    33 million Illumina reads (36 bp)

    Given a lack of computing power, i've been using the Celera Assembler to assemble, de novo, the 454 data, and it has been giving nice results, with scaffolds up to 3.3 Mb and contigs up to 480 kb.

    Independently, I've used EDENA to assemble the Illumina data (i can't use velvet - not enough RAM), getting contigs up to 17 Kb.

    Ideally, I'd use MIRA to do a combined 454/Illumina assembly, but i can't given my lack of RAM.

    What I'd like to do is take the EDENA/Illumina contigs and incorporate them into the Celera Assembly. This was done similarly with vcake/Illumina contigs into Newbler/454 in this paper:

    De novo assembly using low-coverage short read sequence data from the rice pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. oryzae
    An international, peer-reviewed genome sciences journal featuring outstanding original research that offers novel insights into the biology of all organisms


    However, I don't know how to incorporate the EDENA/Illumina contigs so that they can be used by Celera assembler. Has anyone done this?

    Any guidance would be appreciated!

    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...
