    MetaSim: why paired end reverse read is much shorter than forward read??

    Hi everyone! I'm new here...

    I simulated a library paired end 20 kb for 454 technology using MetaSim... but always the reverse read is so much shorter than forward read (forward average: 300 pb and reverse average: 50 pb)

    Somebody have any idea why???

    I checked the preset of the program and it looks right... so, I don't get it!

    Preset Name: 454
    Number Of Reads / Mate Pairs=100000
    Error Model=454

    454 Error Model Configuration=
    Number Of Cycles: 137 (~349 Base Pairs)
    Mate Pair Probability: 0.99
    Mate Pair Read Length: 350
    Remove Mate Pair Linker from Output: true
    Lognormal Distribution Mean: 0.23
    Lognormal Distribution Std. Deviation: 0.15
    Proportionality Constant for Std. Deviation: 0.15
    Scale Std. Deviation with Square Root of Mean: true
    Generate Signal Trace: false

    454 Error Model DNA Clone Parameters=
    Distribution: Normal
    Mean: 20000.0
    2nd parameter: 3000.0

    Combine All Files=false
    Uniform Sequence Weights=false
    Number Of Threads=4
    Write FastA=true
    Compress Output Files=false

    regards!!

    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, detection...

    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
