Roche 454 + Illumina/Solexa hybrid assembly strategies

09-09-2009, 06:11 PM

Hi, all.

I'd like to know what strategies people are using to perform hybrid 454/Illumina assemblies. What general approach are people using to combine data sets? Are there any recommended software packages that can assemble reads from both platforms together? What about viewing, editing, and finishing?

I realize this question is somewhat vague and open-ended, but I'm starting from scratch here and could use some direction. Thanks in advance.

Raj

Thanks for the pointer. It looks like a fairly comprehensive package.

Any other advice for taking on this kind of project?

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

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 Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

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...
