  • de novo assembly using Velvet to reconstruct a PCR amplicon

    Hi all. I'm a newbie in de novo assembly. I have successfully installed Velvet, was able to get it to read my fastq and run of my test set, but it is not giving me the expected result.

    This sample came from a 100% clonal PCR amplicon that is ~9000bp in length. The amplicon is tagmented using Nextera XT, and put into Illumina MiSeq (multiplexed run of 96 samples). My fastq contains MiSeq non-pair-end reads with length 142bp. After de novo assembly, I am hoping to get one single contig that constructs the original 9000bp PCR amplicon. But for whatever result I am unable to get Velvet to produce contigs over like 500bp.

    Please see an example of my command below

    $ ./velveth ./assembly 21 -fastq S4411.fastq
    $ ./velvetg ./assembly

    This gave me 629 tiny contigs <500bp. There should only be one contig, and the software Geneious was able to produce that 1 contig.
    Any pointers how to work with Velvet?

    You can download the fastq file here.


    Thank you so much in advance.

    I suggest you give "tadpole.sh" from BBMap suite a try. It works well with small genomes. Tadpole guide is here.

    If you are looking to make velvet work then this is a moot point.

    Are you letting velvet go through entire range of k-mers?

      Thank you GenoMax!
      I'll give Tadpole a try.
      As for Velvet: Please excuse my newbie question. How do I make Velvet go through an entire range of k-mers?

          Have you thought about using PacBio for long amplicons instead of tagmenting and trying to re-assemble? Each amplicon could get multiple polymerase passes for a high-quality consensus, and be sequenced multiple times for an even better merged consensus. It would definitely be cheaper than Nextera XT preps and a MiSeq run.

              SNPsaurus, thanks for the suggestion. We don't have immediate access to PacBio, but I'll keep that in mind!

                Hi GenoMax and all

                I am unable to re-define my velveth MAXKMERLENGTH. It is currently at default 31. Please see error message below. Any clue what's going on? Thanks again!!

                  Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
                  by seqadmin



                  The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

                  Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
                  by seqadmin



                  Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
