    MEGAN5: parsing problem?

    I have an assembled transcriptome that I blasted against the nr_db from NCBI. I want to use MEGAN to get some taxonomic information on the reads. I imported my blast xml files into MEGAN5 and all seemed to work fine. When I click a node to inspect which hits are associated with a given taxon I encounter a problem. The majority of the hits are listed correctly with the query id header but some do not have a header and the hole sequence or parts of a sequence is displayed. This results in incomplete sequences when I want to extract subsets of reads. This is how it looks like: Click image for larger version

    I have no clue what is happening there and how to fix it. Anyone encountered a similar problem?

    Could there be a problem with the blast xml input files? Or is it a parsing problem? Any idea how to fix this?

    Any help is apreaciated!

    Hello Letia,
    I am having the same problem and have emailed Daniel Huson about it. I worry it is something I have done wrong, but hopefully Daniel can recognize it and tell me what to do correctly.

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
