    SPADES: Failed to determine erroneous kmer threshold. Threshold set to: 22

    Hi,
    Thank you for developing SPAdes for hybrid assembly.

    I tried to assemble Illumina pair-end with Oxford Nanopore Sequence for plant mitochondrial genome assembly.

    Before carried out, I used BBMAP to trim adapters and normalize Illumina data. I have used the commands for trim adapters:

    bbmap$ ./bbduk.sh -Xmx1g in=read1.fastq in2=read2.fastq out=trim_read1.fastq out2=trim_read2.fastq ktrim=r k=23 mink=11 hdist=1 ref=resources/adapters.fa tbo tpe

    for normalize:
    $./bbnorm.sh in=trim_read1.fastq in2=trim_read2.fastq out=norm_read1.fastq out2=norm_rread2.fastq target=100 min=5

    Then, I used these Illumina pair-end reads with Oxford nanopore and the commands as follows:

    $ ./spades.py -k 99 --pe1-1 norm_read1.fastq --pe1-2 norm_read2.fastq --nanopore nano_read.fastq --careful --cov-cutoff 90 -o hybrid_assembly -m 188.

    When I run using this command, I have got an error message as:
    ======= SPAdes pipeline finished WITH WARNINGS!

    === Error correction and assembling warnings:
    * 8:48:41.078 34G / 56G WARN General (kmer_coverage_model.cpp : 218) Too many erroneous kmers, the estimates might be unreliable
    * 8:48:41.472 34G / 56G WARN General (kmer_coverage_model.cpp : 327) Valley value was estimated improperly, reset to 22
    * 8:48:41.477 34G / 56G WARN General (kmer_coverage_model.cpp : 366) Failed to determine erroneous kmer threshold. Threshold set to: 22

    I am herewith enclosing the spades file for your reference. Please find and suggest me what could be the problem and how to solve it...[](url)

    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
