  • iCORN2 corrects PacBio assemblies

    We released iCORN2:


    iCORN2 was applied to correct several PacBio assemblies (Bacteria / Plasmodium). It requires short read pairs, and iteratively corrects errors, which in PacBio mostly indels.


    The current tar ball can be found at
    ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub4/resource...orn2.V0.95.tgz

    Happy about (any) feedback!

    Sounds good to have an alternative !
    Can you give some estimation how long it takes to correct e.g. one PacBio cell with your program ?

      Icorn2 works on assembled genomes. It is quite powerfull to correct frameshifts that quiver does not correct.
      On a 20MB genome, with three iterations and around 100x Illumina coverage it should take around a day. To correct a 4MB bacteria takes 1h per iteration.

        I was afraid of that reply, since I am currently looking at a genome with ~1G and Illumina reads with 100x coverage
        I might give it at try for the final scaffolds nevertheless. Do you have any experience with data that large for your program ? I am wondering since I discovered that most PacBio tools are actually pretty limited to Bacteria genome sizes..

          Well, it might scale ok. All the components are working fine on large genome, the mapper (SMALT), GATK SNP, and the core icorn should work also. The only thing that won't work would be the checking of the perfect mapping reads. But we could twist the variant calling to be more stringent, so one could skip that.

          On another note, now is the assembly coming together? 1G is pretty big for PacBio...

            The assembly is actually a classical Illumina type and PacBio reads are used purely for scaffolding analysis.

            I will give it a try next week, THX

              Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
              by seqadmin


              At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

              How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
              by seqadmin



              Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
