  • illumina de novo txome assm: overlapping paired ends or long inserts?

    There seems to be some debate about the optimal paired-end read length for de novo transcriptome assembly.

    Some are advocating selecting for short fragments - so short you can see overlap between pair mates. Others contend there should be bigger inserts between the ends in order to build the scaffold and leverage pairing information.

    I would like to hear your views on this.

    Hi Zigster,

    Interesting question you pose, we have had some paired-end transcriptome sequencing done and for some reason have quite a small average insert size (ie. lots of overlap between pair mates). It's hard to say what impact this has had on contig/scaffold building, since we haven't got anything to compare to! Like you, I would be interested to hear what others have observed, as it might influence our strategy for futher transcriptome sequencing that we plan to do.

      Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
      by seqadmin




      Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
