A few recommendations for assembling Illumina reads with euler-sr:
1. Pre-filter for A-saturated reads:
$EUSRC/assembly/$MACHTYPE/filterIllumina reads.fasta reads.fasta.filt
2. Put all reads to assemble into one file. Every fasta title should be unique in this file.
3. If your reads are paired (and they are stored in a file reads.fasta), check the reads.fasta.mates to see if the regular expressions used to match reads worked. If no reads were matched, all entries will be "-1 -1".
4. Assembly quality varies with the following:
1. error rate
2. repeat content of the genome
3. coverage
To check to see if you had low coverage, or a very high error rate that fragmented the genome, run the graph summary program:
$EUSRC/assembly/$MACHTYPE/printGraphSummary matetransformed/reads.fasta -sources
This will print all the lengths of contigs that are fragmented due to low coverage or sequencing errors (probably low coverage). If this high relative to the number of contigs in the assembly, either use a smaller vertex size for assembly, or run more reads.Comment

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
