  • 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.

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
