  • Velevt Controll Read Length

    Is there any way to exclude the read lengths below certain length say 100bp for denovo assembly using Velvet

    I don't think there is a way to specify the reads that go into the contigs with velvet (like you can with Newbler). You can specify the minimum contig length in Velvet, but that is not exactly what you wanted. The best thing to do would be to filter the reads before assembly.

    Out of curiosity, why are you wanting to do this? If your data is 454 then Newbler will probably do a better job, in my experience, and if your data is from an Illumina 100bp library then you are not really going to have any variation in read length.

      yes i agree with you i have data with newbler am trying out the results with other assemblers too and see the differences; as i'm new to this arena wanna to know how these tools work .. and thank you for responding back

        So why don't you trust your reads below 100 bp? (Maybe there's a reason for this).
        Velvet uses k-mers, so the reads will be "splitted" into shorter fragments anyways.

          The thing is that I'm lokking for the reads with Q30+ and feels it may have some adapter contamination; aS i told before I'm new to this and looking for options in the tools to make an clear interpretation from the data in hand

            Hi,
            I'm not sure what kind of reads you have: Illumina? 454? SFF format? Fastq?


            Assuming you have files in fastq format you could use the fastx toolkit
            to get rid of adapters (Fastq_Clipper). You can also use it to discard sequences shorter than a threshold you choose.
            You may also like the Fastq Quality Filter. You can choose the minimum quality score to keep and the minimum percent of bases that must have this quality.

            Hope that helps!?

              454 Fastq and thanks that is really helpful

                Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
                by seqadmin



                Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

                Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
                by seqadmin




                Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
