    summary statistics of metagenomics

    Hey All

    I want to represent my 200 metagenome assemblies and preliminary analysis in a table. I was wondering if the following data are a good representation of summary statistics for metagenomes?

    a) Average of (Number of contigs assembled per metagenome) #from SPAdes
    b) Average of (N50 of contigs per metagenome) #from QUAST
    c) Average of (% of bacterial reads per metagenome) #from MG-RAST analysis
    d) Average of (% of reads for top bacterial functions) #from MG-RAST
    e) Average of (% of genes annotated as bacteria) #from PROKKA?
    I want to do this, but how do I find if a gene predicted as bacteria is a spurious hit or not? Is there any significance test?

    What other measures can I use to show if my metagenomes are sequenced and assembled "correctly"?

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
