    FASTQ in Newbler

    Hi all,

    Looking for a little bit of advice for performing De novo assemblies on Newbler.

    I have sequenced the same genome twice; once with Illumina and once with 454 (both paired end). I have performed a de novo assembly on the 454 data in newbler with relative ease but this yielded poor depth/coverage. I intend to introduce my raw illumina data to this (on newbler) to have a greater chance of reducing my contigs.

    I have converted my sol.fastq files to .fasta and ran these alongside the 454 .sff files on newbler. Obviously, .fasta no longer contains the quality data resulting in all reads being assembled with none being excluded. Is there a way for me to use newbler with .fastq files or, alternatively, perform "trimming" of my files to remove failed reads prior to uploading and assembly?

    I appreciate any feedback, i'm very new to this.

    Yes, Newbler 2.6 supports FASTQ files. It will even understand Illumina paired-end data if the standard naming scheme (/1, /2) is used for read identifiers.

      The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

      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,...
