    Problem with hybrid assebly with Celera Assembly

    Hello, everyone,

    Celera Assembler(CA) 6.1 can do hybrid assembly now.

    I have 3 types of reads, Solexa (100bp read length, 500bp insert length), Sanger and 454. The species is a fungi(~40M). I want to assemble them using CA.

    At the beginning, I combined 454 and Sanger data and assembled them using CA. I'm somewhat satisfied with its performance. There are ~38M in scaffolds.

    However, I combined all three types of data and then did assembly as well. The result was so bad that only 1M in contigs and scaffolds. why?

    Here is my spec file:
    # -------------------------------------

    utgErrorRate=0.03
    utgErrorLimit=2.5 # Allow mismatches over and above the utgErrorRate. This helps with Illumina reads.

    merSize = 22
    overlapper=ovl
    #
    unitigger = bog
    utgBubblePopping = 1


    # MERYL calculates K-mer seeds
    merylMemory = 64000
    merylThreads = 20

    # OVERLAPPER calculates overlaps
    ovlMemory = 4GB
    ovlThreads = 20

    # OVERLAP STORE build the database
    ovlStoreMemory = 8192 # Mbp

    # ERROR CORRECTION applied to overlaps
    frgCorrThreads = 10
    frgCorrConcurrency = 3

    ovlCorrBatchSize = 1000000
    ovlCorrConcurrency = 10

    # CONSENSUS configuration
    cnsConcurrency = 10

    #output
    createACE=1
    merQC=1
    merQCmemory=10240
    cleanup=light

    # -------------------------------------


    Could someone help me with this problem?
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    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,...

    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
