  • velvet assembly problem..

    Does number of supercontigs matters for assembly.? i got a 40 MB fungal genome sequence assembly with ~12500 supercontigs by velvet software.?( more than no. of genes present) how can i validate it?

    Dear Pinal,
    What command/parameters have you used for the assembly? what data do you have single or paired end? what is the Insert size if it is paired end? Have you trimmed the low quality reads?
    best wishes,

      That's about 3200bp average contig size. You should probably only count contigs above a certain size. Velvet default is 2*K-1, which is often a bit low. 12,500 doesn't sound great, but it's not a disaster, but I would expect better. How many reads do you have? What length? Paired? You may not have enough coverage.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
