  • de novo assemble of metagenomics sequences

    Hi guys:
    We now doing assemble metagenomics sequences which are from 454 GS FLX platform using Titanium Kit. There are 3 softwares (Newbler, Celera assembler and MIRA3) designed for 454 sequences. Is anyone has the experience use this softs? And how to set the best parameter for metagenome? How to confirm the accuracy of result owing to lack the reference genomes?

    Thanks.

    i am also interested in getting information about mira3 assembly with rna-seq data... so can anyone pls give a hint...

    thx a lot

      You might be able to align against a reference genome / database with Blast etc, provided they exist.

      Otherwise you can do
      chimera checks
      or genefinding

      to check the accuracy of the contigs.

      From what I have seen Newbler is the best assembler for 454, but I haven't compared the others.

        And if you do use newbler (or others), perhaps increase alignment stringency to try to prevent getting similar parts of the different genome assembled together, check out the -mi and -ml parameters (see also this post).

        I've always wanted to try newblers cdna assembly option for metagenomes (just never got to it) because I think it could do a good job of assembling together those reads that come from the same part of the 'same' gene/genome in the samples... You would need to run clustering of the isotigs of each isogroup (e.g. by using cd-hit) afterwards, though...

          Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
          by seqadmin



          The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

          Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
          by seqadmin



          Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
