    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.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
