  • Problem with hybrid assebly with Celera Assembly

    Hello, everyone,

    Celera Assembler(CA) 6.1 can do hybrid assembly now.

    I have 3 types of reads, Solexa (100bp read length, 500bp insert length), Sanger and 454. The species is a fungi(~40M). I want to assemble them using CA.

    At the beginning, I combined 454 and Sanger data and assembled them using CA. I'm somewhat satisfied with its performance. There are ~38M in scaffolds.

    However, I combined all three types of data and then did assembly as well. The result was so bad that only 1M in contigs and scaffolds. why?

    Here is my spec file:
    # -------------------------------------

    utgErrorRate=0.03
    utgErrorLimit=2.5 # Allow mismatches over and above the utgErrorRate. This helps with Illumina reads.

    merSize = 22
    overlapper=ovl
    #
    unitigger = bog
    utgBubblePopping = 1


    # MERYL calculates K-mer seeds
    merylMemory = 64000
    merylThreads = 20

    # OVERLAPPER calculates overlaps
    ovlMemory = 4GB
    ovlThreads = 20

    # OVERLAP STORE build the database
    ovlStoreMemory = 8192 # Mbp

    # ERROR CORRECTION applied to overlaps
    frgCorrThreads = 10
    frgCorrConcurrency = 3

    ovlCorrBatchSize = 1000000
    ovlCorrConcurrency = 10

    # CONSENSUS configuration
    cnsConcurrency = 10

    #output
    createACE=1
    merQC=1
    merQCmemory=10240
    cleanup=light

    # -------------------------------------


    Could someone help me with this problem?
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    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...

    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...
