  • Two sets of .fast5 files from Nanopore

    Hi,

    I am trying to Nanopolish a draft Nanopore genome I assembled with Canu.
    For my indexing step, I have two folders in the data given to me by the sequencing service that contain fast5 files.
    Which is the correct to use for indexing Nanopolish?

    I have one set, in a folder called fast5, which contains folders 0 to 215, each containing fast5 files that are small (20 kb to 1000 kb).

    I have a second set, in another folder albacore-2.2.5-FLO-PRO001-SQK-LSK109-by_dir, which contains folders 1 -215, each containing:
    configuration.cfg
    pipeline.log
    sequencing_summary.txt
    sequencing_telemetry.js
    workspace/
    which contains:
    fastq_runid_*.fastq
    0/
    containing fast5 files that are larger (33kb to 10,000 kb)

    The names of the files in fast5/1 or albacore*by_dir/1/workspace/0 are exactly the same but differ in size.

    I'm leaning toward the larger files as their folder shares a dir with the sequencing_summary.txt. But I'm really not sure. Anyone see this before?

    Thank you

    As far as I'm aware, it doesn't matter. Nanopolish uses the called fastq files together with the signal in the fast5 files, so both should work. I expect the main difference between the two fast5 file types is that one will include the called sequences as an additional folder within the fast5 files.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

      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...
