  • Hello and help needed :) from Indiana University

    Hi,

    I am new here because I just recently started to try and use consed and I seem to hit a wall.

    I have 454 data of a 9 Mb prokaryotic genome and try to close the genome. I inherited the project in slightly unfortunate way, now being in possession of a fasta sequence of an assembly with 5 large contigs and a number of very small ones and the complete raw data (all gap closing sanger reads performed so far as well as the initial 454 data and the initial newbler assembly).

    My job is now to start with the initial assembly and add the sanger reads to close the gaps and eventually identify remaining gaps and close the genome.

    So far I have reached the point where I want to use consed to do so. I have obtained a license, installed everything and run through the tour of consed. I managed to open the newbler assemblies in consed and add the existing Sanger reads.

    To my understanding, the next thing I have to do is going to the assembly view and run crossmatch after adding the reads to be able to identify sequence matches between the contig ends from which the Sanger reads start and than arrange and join the contigs accordingly.

    The problem I am facing now is that the assembly view basically freezes whenever I try to scroll after adding the sanger reads (I started with adding 20 reads at a time and I am down now to add them pairwise (1 forward, 1 reverse) at a time).

    I am running consed in a 32 bit Ubuntu Linux environment on a 2.5 Ghz Core2Duo System with 4 GB Ram.

    I wonder if my approach is generally appropriate, if my machine is supposedly sufficient and if the delays are an indication that something with my phred/phrap/consed installation is awry.

    Any advice/comment is highly appreciated and welcome.

        New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
        by seqadmin


        This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

        The Headliner
        The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...

        Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
        by seqadmin




        The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
