  • Contig and scaffold N50

    Hi all,

    Is it possible for contig and scaffold N50s to be very similar (e.g. within 2-3k bp) or the exact same? I have seen a few examples of this in some de-novo assemblies that I am working with and just want to make sure this is OK.

    Thanks for any thoughts!

    PacBio assemblies will have contig and scaffold stats that are very close. I guess single-end Illumina or paired-end Illumina on short fragments would also be like that?

      I am using paired end Illumina reads. Usually I see that the contig N50 is 1/2 or 2/3 of scaffold N50, so I was a bit concerned when we got some with exactly the same contig/scaffold N50

        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...
