Okay, thanks for the clarification. So since there are no plasmids specified in the other final_contigs.fasta files from using kmer values less than 127, I can confidently say there are no plasmids in these and were only found when using a kmer value of 127?

Plasmids are present in multiple copies per cell, whereas the host genome is (typically) a single copy. More copies = higher read depth.

I was using plasmidSPAdes. If I understand correctly, the plasmid contigs are able to assemble at higher kmer values because they are present at a higher read depth. Why are they more present at higher read depths than the host cell? What about coverage?

And also why are plasmids only output in the K127 folder final_contigs.fasta and not the other kmer value folders?
Also, if you're only interested in the plasmid sequences, you may want to use plasmidSPAdes (described here).Last edited by HESmith; 07-28-2016, 08:30 AM.

Update:
In the K127 folder there is also before_chromosome_removal.fasta file. When I try to see if contig in the final_contigs.fasta is in the aformentioned file, I do not find them. So are the sequences that are supposedly plasmid sequences from the final_contigs.fasta in the K127 folder and contigs.fasta in the main SPAdes output directory in the final_contigs.fasta files in the other folders? What exactly is the difference between them all?

SPAdes plasmids output
Hello all. I have done a plasmidSPAdes run on my bacterial reads to look for any plasmids. In the final output directory, I have the contigs.fasta file which contains the plasmids with the suffix componenet_X denoting each respective plasmid.
When looking at the different kmer value folders the K21-K99 folders seem to contain assemblies of the bacterial contigs in the final_contigs.fasta file, as a normal SPAdes run would. However, the K127 folder final_contigs.fasta is instead similar to the contigs.fasta file mentioned above - it seems to only contain plasmids and not the bacterial contigs.
After comparing the K127 final_contigs.fasta and contigs.fasta files with diff, they have differences. My question is why are these two files different? Is the contigs.fasta file different because SPAdes ran the mismatch corrector? And also why are plasmids only output in the K127 folder final_contigs.fasta and not the other kmer value folders?
ThanksLast edited by ronaldrcutler; 07-26-2016, 07:51 PM.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
