I have three different transcriptome assemblies (Kmer 30,35 & 65) of one insect species. I want to compare transcriptome assemblies with reference insect sequence(from ensembl). I want to know how many genes show up in all kmer assemblies and between individual assemblies (i.e between 30 & 35, between 35 & 65). I would like to get idea to better way to compare to get list of genes. Any journal paper info regarding this will be helpful.

Hi Bioman1,
Can you share the purpose behind your proposed steps? Please look into whether CD-HIT is the right tool for you.

transcriptome assembly-comparative genomics
Thanks for reply. I have transcriptome assemblies with different treatments. I want to know which genes present in all treatments and what are all the genes that are absent in different treatments. I have tried tblastx ensembl (cDNA) insect sequence against transcriptome assemblies. Trying to find out highest coverage. Any suggestion?Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
