I don't know whether it's possible to use velvet to assemble SMRT reads. Also I want to know how to know the read coverage of SMRT. Is that a function of the number of the SMRT cells? What other parameter affect the result?

"Read coverage of SMRT" is not logical (unless you want a gross number e.g. total bases from SMRTcell/genome size).
I assume you want to know the characteristics (number of reads, length, median size etc) of data from a SMRT cell? This should be available in the SMRTportal where SMRTcell data is processed. If a sequence provider did the analysis for you ask them for a copy of the report of basic analysis (e.g. RS_reads_of_insert). -
Velvet does not assemble SMRT data. Take a look at https://github.com/PacificBioscience...Bio-Long-Reads for a list of assemblers.Comment

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
