has anybody done de novo transcriptome assembly? are there any tools to do this? which one is better?

on top of my head, you can use trans-abyss. -
thanks.
i have many RNA-seq data, and the reference is not very good, so i want to generate a new transcriptome assembly. can trans-abyss do this?Comment

yes they can, but i never use them though so i dont know about the quality. Read about it on their paper "De novo assembly and analysis of RNA-seq data".Comment

you are so kind, thanks again.Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
