    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.

      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
