    euler-sr scaffolding

    I see that mateTransformGraph has a -scaffold option:

    [-scaffold] Use mate-pairs to scaffold disconnected contigs.

    Is there a way to obtain fasta sequence of the resulting scaffolds? Or is there documentation to explain how one might parse any of the .graph or .edge or .path files with the goal of constructing a scaffolds fasta file?

    Thanks much.

    The contigs from the scaffold should be in the "reads.fasta.contig" file that is output at the end of assembly, where "reads.fasta" is the input file. If there is no reads.fasta.contig, the assembly crashed (somebody may be posting an updated scaffolder soon).

      Thanks Mark.

      The assembly did finish and there is a reads.fasta.contig file.

      To clarify, is there a way to obtain a fasta file of the scaffolds themselves (linked contigs separated by the estimated number of N's in the gap). I assume that even after the mateTransformGraph stage there are still contigs which, while not overlapping, are at least linked by multiple paired reads (in my case we have 4kb pairs).

      You mentioned there may be an updated scaffolder soon - is there something at present that determines and prints out scaffold fasta sequence?

      Thanks again.

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
