Yeah I tried that but you end up with huge contig numbers owing to the short (pseudo-shotgun) 454 reads. Couldnt find a way to keep the mate pair info so have switched assembler to MIRA. If anyone knows how to do it in MaSuRCA I'd be keen to know though.

It probably doesn't. Split the 454 paired reads using sfftools from Roche, or sff_extract (see methods section of https://flxlexblog.wordpress.com/201...substr-mg1655/)Leave a comment:

MaSurCA 454 PE + Illumina 2x250 PE Assembly Issue
I'm having some issues using MaSurCA to perform a hybrid assembly using 454 PE and Illumina 2x250 PE data for a ~2Mbp bacterial genome. Have converted the .sff to .frg with the necessary linkers using sffToCA. Number of contigs from the hybrid assembly is 900 whereas it is 75 if I only use the illumina data.
Have run out of ideas - any suggestions (except for ditch the 454 data) would be very welcome!
Thanks

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
