I've seen a few older threads on this, but no real consensus yet. Anyone have a script or method for finding circular DNAs (*osmids, minicircles) in an assembly? I suppose it's really just as "simple" as discovering the motif which is repeated and the beginning and end of the contig where it's circularized. Anyone attempted anything like this yet?

I looked for plasmids in my assemblies by looking for contigs with the same sequence at both ends. I was able to verify that some of the contigs were plasmids by PCR and sequencing but I was not able to get a product for most of them though I was not very exhaustive in the primers that I tried. While this method works, I don't know that I would trust that you found circular DNA without a second verification.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
