    Improving bacterial genome assembly


    Deall seqanswers community, hope you are all doing well.
    I have sequenced and assembled 8 bacterial genomes of the same species.
    The initial assembly was constructed using paired-end reads from a Miseq and was rather satisfying (to draw first conclusion).
    I also have long reads from PacBio of the same genomes and I would like to take advantage of both type of reads to improve my assembly and portray final conclusions with confidence. I am thinking of a scaffold approach whereby the Pacbio reads will be used to join contig. I would like you to guide me on a way forward.
    I am not comfortable with Unix command line

    Sincerely,

    Several tools such as SPAdes support hybrid assembly using illumina and pacbio reads. Their test suggested illumina reads only generated 92 contigs, while illumina+pacbio generated 5 contigs for E coli K12 using SPAdes.

      Reply to 16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?

      The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
