  • Increase Newbler Input Read Size

    Does anyone know if there is a command to increase the input read size for a Newbler de novo assembly? I'm trying to use some 2-3kb PacBio CCS reads, but of course the max input read size is 1,999bp (at least in v2.6, which is what I'm using). Maybe a newer version has this option? Thanks!!!

    Why are you assembling PacBio data with 454 assembler?

    You should use SMRTAnalysis 2.3 instead

      What tools in SMRTAnalysis can do de novo assembly of 2kb fragments? HGAPv3 does a poor job compared to Newbler. Newbler actually does a great job, I just need to know how to increase the input read size threshold.

        Well, if you have enough coverage, HGAPv3 should do a good job. If you have lower coverage, but higher quality CCS reads, than you might be right, Newbler may be a better option for you. Unfortunately I haven't used newbler in many years and can't guide you any further.

        What kind of pre-CCS subread coverage do you have? If you have >30X (60X+ would be ideal) then you should just run HGAPv3 with your pacbio subreads.

          What is the use case for assembling CCS data? If the dataset is small, tiling a few amplicons for a viral genome, then minimus may be a viable alternative, otherwise Celera Assembler can be parameterized correctly to assembly CCS sequences.

            Newbler 3 will take longer reads, but I can't remember the limit, either 20kb, 30kb or 40kb. You could also try the Canu assembler, or FALCON.

                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...
