    Finding contaminant contigs in assembly

    Hi,

    I have generated plant mitochondrial assembly for which I would like to find contamination from chloroplast as well as nuclear genome. I have also run BlastN using same species nuclear genome and chloroplast genome database, and now with results I have some alignments with multiple scaffolds generated.

    My question is, if it is wise cutting down sequences from assembly which are having high identity with substantive e-value with subject sequences or I need to see some other criteria along with identity and e-value?

    Any help would be highly appreciated...

    What about the length?
    Longer alignment > smaller one.

      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.
