    Abyss assembly with Ion Torrent?

    Anyone have any experience using Abyss to assembly Ion Torrent data? I am getting some pretty awful results I think.

    I have 100X MiSeq coverage (2x150) and 100X Ion Torrent data (avg read length a little under 200). I did a kmer parameter sweep on both. My best MiSeq assemblies are getting me right around 200contigs, which is pretty awesome. Unfortunately Ion Torrent is up around 10,000.

    I think it is likely I am doing something wrong, but not sure what.

    MiSeq command structure:
    abyss-pe -j 8 k=43 name=k43 in='MiSeq_100X_1.clipped.fastq.gz MiSeq_100X_2.clipped.fastq.gz' > k43.log 2>&1

    Ion structure:
    abyss-pe -j 8 k=43 name=k43 se='Ion_PGM3_100X.clipped.fastq.gz' > k43.log 2>&1


    I'm going to be trying out some other assemblers, but just wondering what the f is going on here...

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
