  • Help regg. tools for comparing two sets of contigs from de-novo assembly

    Hello

    I have two sets of fastq files (control & treatment) from DNA-sequencing (illumina) of a bacterial strain. The strain is new and has no (very) closely related strains. I have used the CLC Genomics Workbench to build contigs de-novo and then used Sequencher to improve the quality and length of contigs generated from the CLC Workbench. I have to compare these two sets of contigs (fasta sequences) to search for similarities and differences. The treatment was an insertion in the genome and I wish to study how this affects the genome and/or genes. Since I don't have a way to perform a genome wide study, is there a way to perform Control_contigs vs Treatment_contigs pairwise search to study the difference and how easy or hard would it be to parse the result files from the tools suggested?
    Statistical info: Size of contigs range from 128Kb to 100bases in both sets, majority of them between 5K-15Kbases. Each set has around 140 contigs. Majority of contigs have a 40% G/C content. Some of the contigs have N's. Average length of contigs:12Kbases.
    PS. I have tried to use CD-HIT-EST-2D and standalone blast+ for which the results have been inconclusive or jobs failed.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    I am interested in doing the same comparison between two contigs files as you are, did you solve it? CD-HIT-EST-2D is not working for me because I get an error of segmentation fault ('core' dumped), any help?

    Thanks

      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...
