    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.

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
