I just got Nimblegen v2 exome data. I would like to assemble the reads, exon by exon. Is there a program that will do this? DNAnexus maps the reads to the Golden Path and provides variant calls, but they do not provide an assembled sequence for each covered exon.

Why do you want to assemble rather than align the data?
I do not suggest using DNAnexus for mapping/variant calling. Results are quite different from the very accurate results of BWA (or Novoalign) and GATK/Dindel in my experience.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

Are there any published metrics on DNAnexus' aligner performance or is it just word-of-mouth for now?Comment

Not that I know of, but they just started offering bwa as an alternative mapping approach to their proprietary method.Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Southern Illinois University.

That is interesting, and probably a good decision to support the needs of the community.Comment

While isolating and preparing single cells for sequencing was historically the bottleneck, recent technological advancements have shifted the challenge to data analysis. This highlights the rapidly evolving nature of single-cell sequencing. The inherent complexity of single-cell analysis has intensified with the surge in data volume and the incorporation of diverse and more complex datasets. This article explores the challenges in analysis, examines common pitfalls, offers...Today, 07:15 AM -
