  • Trinity - de novo transcriptome assembler

    A group from Broad institute published a new de novo transcriptome assembly program in Nature Biotech. The paper came out in electronic version in April, and a collaborator of mine pointed it out to me. Until then, I was getting too frustrated with Velvet+Oases (especially Oases), because Oases was too demanding for RAM requirement. We have been using Trinity for transcriptome assembly since then, and I am so far happy with the results. Trinity seems to do the job with much less RAM.

    I will post a comparison in my blog (http://www.homolog.us/blogs/) over the next few days and let you know here.

    I am finding Trinity to be dreadfully slow (days to run) on anything significant (say, a single Illumina hiScan lane). I suspect that this is because of the 'inchworm' part of the pipeline is single-CPU and perhaps the 'chrysalis' part is as well. I will be interested in reading what you discover.

    Nice blog, BTW.

      When I was a student at Purdue, my computer science teacher used to tell us that a slow program is better than one that does not run For some of my data sets, Velvet+Oases failed due to RAM limit, but Trinity at least produced some results, although after 20 hours.

      >Nice blog, BTW.

      Thank you. You may enjoy today's post on de Bruijn graphs, where I explained why transcriptome assemblers are different from genome assemblers.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
