  • A new fruitfly genome de novo sequencing

    I have no experience in de novo genome sequencing, and i have a now project:

    A fruitfly genome de novo sequencing, and i want to use the Allpaths pipeline to assembly the genome, and want to use 180bp + 3K insert size illumina Hiseq 2000 sequencing, each libray squence one lane (>30Gb),

    Dose this work?

    Can anybody give me something advice?

    Thanks!

    It's a good start, but only just fulfilling the minimum ALLPATHS_LG requirements. Adding more libraries of larger jump sizes might make for a better assembly. I just hope you have enough compute capacity/memory/disk space...

      By Hiseq 2000 sequencing and 30Gb data, should be 200x coverage for fruitfly, it's supposed enough for genome assembly. Also, you can use other pipeline to analysis data in the same time, like SOAPdenovo etc.

        You certainly have enough data in terms of paired end coverage, but that doesn't really ensure it can be assembled.

        I have no idea how complex a fruitfly genome is in terms of repeats and near-repeats (tandem or otherwise), but it would need to pretty simple to get away with just one size of mate-pair data.

        Then again, perhaps it is simple - maybe try an illumina read simulator using the drosophila genome, and see how well you can re-assemble it from simulated datasets.

          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...
