  • Resources to learn genome assembly workflow for small genomes (like viruses)

    I have sequencing data of a few samples of a `DNA genome virus`. I'd like to learn `de novo assembly` of the `short reads`, making scaffolds from it, and then `counting the abundance` of each strain in the data. I heard about `SPAdes` as a good choice for these kinds of very short genomes. and also `BBmap` for statistics related to contigs.

    I am a complete newbie in everything related to de novo assembly. So, I wonder if you could recommend some good `courses/tutorials/papers` for learning all the steps, including units, special vocabularies, analysis steps, and everything else.

    I have some experience with analyzing `RNA-seq` and also `small RNA-seq` data. I learned these two using free online resources, however, it is very hard to find even one full workflow post/paper on `genome assembly`.

    Note: I know that I should read the documentation on `SPAdes` and `BBmap` and I will. However, I'd like to first get to a good idea of what are the steps, test it on some sample data, and then go through learning different tools. So, it is like saying that I need to learn RNA-seq analysis not read a particular `aligner` documentation.

    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,...
