  • How to extract the singletons

    Hi everyone,
    Am working with Newbler, which excludes the singletons form the results (454AllContigs etc.)
    However, I could only get singletons ID's using SFF tool from 454ReadStatus.txt.
    Therefore, my question is, how to extracts singletons (as sequences) from our reads.
    As we need to gain an overview about them also.

    Does anyone have a script of a tool to achieve this goal.

    thanks in advance,

    My split reads perl script is enclosed. I never wrote this for public use so it may not work for you. Feel free to modify it as needed.

        westernman, the script could not be ran. can you give an example how to run it.
        Unfortunately, once I ran it I got the following massage:

        evo-zapus:/opt/454/bin # perl SingletonsFinder.pl

        ****** Need to run this program on a machine with
        with 454 software; e.g., pkr2 or coates. Check for the
        program called 'sfffile'. *******


        Even though I have sfffile installed and ran several times.
        I added 454ReadStatus and 454TrimStatus.txt. in bin directory where sfffile is located

        best,

          Hum, this is a problem with unpublished and unpolished code. pkr2 and coates are our machines that have the sfffile program on it; thus the message about them. However just before that message is the line:

          sfffile --help 2>&1

          What happens if you type that command directly at your command prompt?

          BTW, feel free to email me directly so that we can get this resolved in a more timely manner. westerman @ purdue dot edu

            or there is this shell script in the manual.
            from the assemblydirectory:

            fgrep Singleton 454ReadStatus.txt > singles.txt
            sfffile -o singles.sff -i singles.txt your/path/to/the.sff
            sffinfo -s singles.sff > singles.fna

              'wildung's response is, as I recall, what my program does. My program also extracts other parts of the file and so is better in an automated pipeline. But those three lines should do exactly what you want without having to get my program to run.

                Thanks guys for the help,
                Unfortunately, when I try to run sfffile I get this error even I sat up the class path and when I type the (whereis sfffile) command it turns out the right path
                Here is the error:
                evo-zapus:/opt/454/bin # sfffile --help 2>&1
                If 'sfffile' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
                cnf sfffile
                evo-zapus:/opt/454/bin # cnf sfffiel
                sfffiel: command not found


                any suggestions?

                    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...
