I am using paired end Illumina reads. Usually I see that the contig N50 is 1/2 or 2/3 of scaffold N50, so I was a bit concerned when we got some with exactly the same contig/scaffold N50 -
PacBio assemblies will have contig and scaffold stats that are very close. I guess single-end Illumina or paired-end Illumina on short fragments would also be like that?Leave a comment:

Contig and scaffold N50
Hi all,
Is it possible for contig and scaffold N50s to be very similar (e.g. within 2-3k bp) or the exact same? I have seen a few examples of this in some de-novo assemblies that I am working with and just want to make sure this is OK.
Thanks for any thoughts!

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
