    velvetg coverage parameter

    Hi everyone, I am new with Velvet and I have some questions regarding velvetg parameters.

    I am doing the de novo assembly for my Illumia 101 bp PE reads (HiSeq 4000), with a depth sequencing of 90 millions of reads per sample. The inserte size of my libraries is of 300 bp, so i have adjust the next parameters to:
    -min_contig_lgth 350 -ins_length 300
    Is that correct?

    Regarding coverage, as the depth sequencing is high (90 M), I was thinking of setting a mínimum coverage value to avoid sequencing errors, but at the same time I do not want to lose information, so I am not sure how to fix this parameter. Is this parameter set with the –cov_cutoff option? As i don’t know the expected coverage of unique regions, should I add –exp_cov auto to my options?

    I would enormously appreciate you suggestions!!

    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, detection...

    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
