I want to use an assembler to assemble the unmapped illumina reads from an alignment to S288C (yeast genome). So far I have been using SSAKE and it seems to be working fine, but I would like to compare the results of SSAKE to another assembler. Are there better/other assemblers out there that would be worth trying? Thanks for your time, sorry if this is a repost.

You can see some comparative benchmarks of current assemblers here:

SSAKE is not included, though. I commonly use both Spades and Velvet. -
Thanks this is what I was looking for.Comment

Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...03-21-2023, 01:49 PM -
Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...03-10-2023, 05:31 AM -
Using automation to prepare sequencing libraries isn’t a new concept, and most researchers are aware that there are numerous benefits to automating this process. However, many labs are still hesitant to switch to automation and often believe that it’s not suitable for their lab. To combat these concerns, we’ll cover some of the key advantages, review the most important considerations, and get real-world advice from automation experts to remove any lingering anxieties....02-21-2023, 02:14 PM
