    Illumina assemblies (w/ Edena) into Celera assembler

    Hi,
    I am doing de novo assembly with a lot of 454 and Illumina data that i have for my 7.3 Mb bacterial genome.

    Data i have:
    1.5 million 454 FLX and Titanium reads (average length ~320 bp)
    160 000 mate-pair mates from a 10 kb 454 Tit library

    33 million Illumina reads (36 bp)

    Given a lack of computing power, i've been using the Celera Assembler to assemble, de novo, the 454 data, and it has been giving nice results, with scaffolds up to 3.3 Mb and contigs up to 480 kb.

    Independently, I've used EDENA to assemble the Illumina data (i can't use velvet - not enough RAM), getting contigs up to 17 Kb.

    Ideally, I'd use MIRA to do a combined 454/Illumina assembly, but i can't given my lack of RAM.

    What I'd like to do is take the EDENA/Illumina contigs and incorporate them into the Celera Assembly. This was done similarly with vcake/Illumina contigs into Newbler/454 in this paper:

    De novo assembly using low-coverage short read sequence data from the rice pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. oryzae


    However, I don't know how to incorporate the EDENA/Illumina contigs so that they can be used by Celera assembler. Has anyone done this?

    Any guidance would be appreciated!

    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

    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.
