  • re-scaffolding using BAC end read pairs

    Hello,

    I have a vertebrate genome assembly with contigs and scaffolds generated from ~80X PE Illumina small-insert and mate-pair libraries. There are also some BAC scaffolds and a few thousand BAC Sanger reads available for this species in the GenBank Trace database. I would like to use these publicly available data to merge scaffolds and improve on the Illumina-only assembly.

    Aligning the assembled BAC scaffolds to the original genome scaffolds and generating consensus sequences to merge contigs/scaffolds seems fairly straightforward, can anyone recommend a method/pipeline that has worked for them? This was mentioned once here http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthr...ght=sspace+bac

    I assume I can use the BAC end paired sequences with a scaffolding tool such as SSPACE (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showpos...6&postcount=11 ) but what is the best way to trim or at least incorporate quality scores? I don't think I want to simply use the raw traces downloaded from GenBank, unless anyone can convince me otherwise.


    Thanks!

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
