  • 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!

      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...

      Methods for Investigating the Transcriptome
      by seqadmin




      Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
