I have 454 assembled contigs, Isotigs and singletons. The core facility that we used has done this for us, using Newbler. Do I still need to get rid of any adapter sequences or can I use these data directly for other analyses? In addition, how can I combine Isotigs, contigs and singltons?

The Singletons will still have the adaptor sequences. The contigs/isotigs mostly should not ( if at the time of running Newbler, a database of the adaptor sequences was specified ).
You can combine the singletons, contigs and the largest isotig from each isogroup and run it through one more assembly software ( Reference assembly if you have a reference genome ).

We at Purdue Genomics do provide a Singleton.tfa file to our customers. The reads in this file have been trimmed using the data in 454TrimStatus.txt

Originally posted by westerman View PostI am not sure that follows. Singletons, per se, are not part of the Newbler output. The files 454Isotigs.fna and 454AllContigs.fna, sure, they exist. And the 454ReadStatus.tfa file tells where the reads went to. But there is no, as far as I know, Newbler generated singleton file.

ids of those which are singletons and then extract those singletons from the original sff files ( using sfffile/sffinfo )
Since the Singletons were not included in the Assembly, they wont be trimmed and will contain the adaptor.

Maybe the person who generated it just took reads marked 'singleton' from the 454ReadStatus file.
Or maybe the person who generated the file took the reads marked 'singleton' plus the information from the 454TrimStatus file in order to create a singleton file that is trimmed.
sfffile has the '-t' option (File containing accno/trim line information) so it is quite easy to do the trimming. We do this routinely.
But all in all you can not assume that the singleton is untrimmed. Nor trimmed.

The introduction of single-cell sequencing has advanced the ability to study cell-to-cell heterogeneity. Its use has improved our understanding of somatic mutations1, cell lineages2, cellular diversity and regulation3, and development in multicellular organisms4. Single-cell sequencing encompasses hundreds of techniques with different approaches to studying the genomes, transcriptomes, epigenomes, and other omics of individual cells. The analysis of single-cell sequencing data i

by seqadminSingle-cell sequencing is a technique used to investigate the genome, transcriptome, epigenome, and other omics of individual cells using high-throughput sequencing. This technology has provided many scientific breakthroughs and continues to be applied across many fields, including microbiology, oncology, immunology, neurobiology, precision medicine, and stem cell research.
The advancement of single-cell sequencing began in 2009 when Tang et al. investigated the single-cell transcriptomes...-
