  • De novo RNA-Seq Assembly using Trinity with variable length reads

    Dear All, i am working on a project that will do De novo RNA-Seq Assembly using Trinity. Totally have 16 samples from 2 projects.

    1. 8 sample, PE150, 30x, Hiseq 2500
    2. another 8 sample, PE300, 100x, Miseq

    I am wondering that if the Trinity can take the reads with variable length reads? and is there any technical and biological differences impact on the result if the data from a different condition, platform, and reads lengths?

    Can you please give me some pointers? Appreciate it.

    That should be fine. Inchworm does a kmer-based assembly, so as long as the reads are longer than the size of the kmers, it should be okay.

    However, it'd be a good idea to do adapter and end trimming on the reads, particularly for the longer 300bp sequences.

    You'll get a more informative transcriptome from combining reads that are from multiple samples, because it increases the chance that any transcript will have sufficient coverage for good assemblies.

      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...
