    Assemblers for Short Reads

    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:

    continuous, objective and reproducible evaluation of genome assemblers using docker containers


    SSAKE is not included, though. I commonly use both Spades and Velvet.

        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

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
