    CD-HIT w/ Illumina

    Greetings, just curious if anyone out there has used to CD-HIT-454 to cluster Illumina data, rather than 454 data, and about how long it them to get back a collapsed result. I'm trying to "decompress" the number of unique reads before starting a large blastx run against a 16S rRNA gene database, and then NCBI-nr. I' started running the CD-HIT-454 on Friday afternoon, and its still running. The command I used is below:
    $nohup cd-hit-454 -i N5_bioCollapsed.fasta -o N5_bio_c90.fasta -c 0.9 -n 5 -M 2000

    My input file (N5_bioCollapsed.fasta) has 3884222 100bp reads. This sequence data was produced through sequencing of DNA recovered from an agricultural soil. My end goal is to assess the frequency of functional genes in the sample to other samples collected from similar sites, under differing conditions.

    If anyone else has complimentary methods they have found useful for dereliction/redundancy filtering, please let me know. Thanks,

    -tony

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
