  • celera assembler to .ace with multiple .frg files

    Hi,
    I have used Celera assembler to produce an assembly with three sets of data:
    1. unpaired 454 FLX reads
    2. unpaired 454 Tit reads
    3. paired-end 454 Tit reads (10 Kb)

    I used the sffToCA utility individually on each of these data sets, and then runCA to assemble the three data sets. It produced a fairly nice set of contigs, up to 480 Kbp in size.

    Now I'd like to visualize the assembly with EagleView or hawkeye, and then to analyze with consed using the .ace file format.

    I run this line:
    $ perl ca2ace.pl CB1190WGS10kb.asm

    I then get the error: CB1190WGS10kb.frg: No such file or directory

    This file has never existed, as I used three separate .frg files as input for runCA (*.frg). I've noticed that trying to convert to AMOS file formats produces similar errors, where it is looking for an inappropriate .frg file.

    Has anyone encountered this? Are there any work-arounds?

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem, anyone can hint how to sort this?

    Thanks

      Well, this FRG file has been written defaultly in assembler versions prior to 5.0.
      Now you need to create this file after the assembly freshly by hand from the gatekeeper store, e.g.

      $ gatekeeper -dumpfrg PROJECT.gkpStore | grep -v 'No source' > PROJECT.frg

      ca2ace.pl is not further developed AFAIK ..

          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...
