    What is the meaning of repeat cluster and unique cluster?

    Hi

    I am very beginner in Bioinformatics especially sequencing method.

    Now I just read some paper (Title : De novo assembly of human genomes with massively parallel short read sequencing)

    So I can't understand several terms in the paper. So I need your help.

    In the paper contents,

    "Resolving the repeat clusters between unique clusters and assembling them
    into an intact sequence requires the paired-end relationship of a pair of short
    reads generated from both ends of a DNA clone"

    In this paragraph, I can't figure out that the term repeat clusters and unique clusters is indicating about. I have learned that cluster is just a action that gathers something similar. But in this paper, what is the repeat clusters and unique cluster meaning?

    And also, I am not sure of meaning of paired-end method.

    Since I am very beginner in this areas, so I am looking forward to hearing some easily explain about my questions.

    Thank you

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
