hi, i met a problem, I hava two samples,the two samples are the same species, they have a similarity of 90%,the two samples are assembled by trinity respectively, I got more than 60000,50000 unigenes respectively. i used cd-hit to remove redundancy and tgicl to cluster unigenes.i got 90000 unigenes, most unigenes are not clustered. i blast two samples, the mapped result is 75%. why most unigenes are not clustered?

You have a problem already. Two samples with 90% similarity are probably different species.Originally posted by smm View Post
Please take the time and effort to use proper spelling and grammar to clearly state what you wish to accomplish, what you have done, and what you have measured, before you post here. It is, of course, possible that you are looking at two samples of the same species, but your analysis was incorrect or your description was wrong. It's impossible to diagnose problems if you are not extremely specific. If you are talking about overlap between assembled transcriptomes, or whatever, you need to clearly state how it was calculated, and what kind of data you used. Transcriptome assembly is highly subjective and cannot trivially be used to determine whether pairs are the same species. Considering that you never used the term "RNA" anywhere in your query, it's hard to even tell what your data is or whether you are using it correctly.Last edited by Brian Bushnell; 01-25-2016, 08:36 PM. -

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
