  • Thoughts on combining PE runs to improve assemblies?

    Have little experience with metagenomes vs genomes, so this post is probably full of stupid questions. My thinking is to do a first pass assembly, map reads to the scaffolds and directly assess the discontinuities between scaffolds. If necessary, was thinking of mapping PE reads from other samples to evaluate the linkages between contigs, in the event that contigs weren't scaffolded due to insufficient coverage.

    The other alternative is to combine some PE runs, which gives me more pairs and perhaps more coverage on the graph, but introduces the possibility of more graph complexity than is required. I'm not a fan of the latter approach, but I am curious as to the "best" way to tackle this problem.

    The third is to finish reading Mad Albertsen's paper on differential coverage binning...any other suggested reading would be greatly appreciated.

    Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
    by seqadmin




    During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

    Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...

    Addressing Off-Target Effects in CRISPR Technologies
    by seqadmin






    The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...
