I plant to de novo assemble one plant genome using 454, the size is about 1G. Has anyone experience in such way and give me some advice?

Just don't tell me you're gonna prepare the genomic DNA and sequence it! -
It will most likely be possible to sequence the genome, but the assembly process will be tricky since most plant genomes are extremely repetitive, so in the end you might end up with a very fragmented assembly with millions of short contigs. Perhaps paired end libraries might help a bit.Comment

University of Arizona recently published a paper using 454 to sequence rice. Their method is 454 Titanium + pooled BAC strategy. Some new school and some old school stuff. rice genome size is around 400 MB.
The paper title:
"De Novo Next Generation Sequencing of Plant Genomes"
It can be easily found over Google.Comment

A combination of pooled BACs + 454 Titanium is the way to go for draft assembly. Assembly is very challenging for big plants genome without BACs.Originally posted by rand View Post
Plants have lots of repeat. Here long reads is important factor for good assembly.Last edited by hlu; 07-29-2009, 08:25 AM.Comment

Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
