    De Novo Assembly of Wheat Mitochondrial Genomes

    Hi everyone,
    I will soon be analyzing a large number of wheat and wheat wild relative mitochondrial genomes and wanted to get some advice on assembly and analysis here.

    -Library type: Nextera XT libraries generated from purified organellar DNA samples (not total genomic DNA so we don't have to worry about too much nuclear contamination).

    -Sequencing: MiSeqV3-300bp PE (longer reads should hopefully help with assembly)

    Potential QC and Assembly Options (this is where I would like to get some advice)
    1. FastQC and Trimmomatic to remove adapters and low quality bases
    2. I anticipate the coverage being really high, so subsampling reads for assembly will probably be necessary (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46174)
    3. Assembly of "Master Circle" - Geneious, Soap de novo, Velvet, Discovar. These seem like the best options, any suggestions?
    4. Annotation and Repeat Identification: Mitofy, Repeat Modeler, Reputer?



    Also, I would like to detect the smaller subgenomic circles, as well as the master circle, but I am unsure as to the best way to go about that.

    After I assemble a number of different wheat and wild relative genomes, I will be variation between them (heteroplasmy, subgenomic circle variation, etc..). I am thinking BreSeq, Discovar, Samtools, SVDetect, etc.. Any suggestions?

    So if any of you experts out there have any helpful suggestions, I would much appreciate it!

    Bump! I'm hoping some assembly experts out there have some good advice!

      New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
      by seqadmin


      This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

      The Headliner
      The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...

      Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
      by seqadmin




      The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
