Hello,
I've been searching the forums for answers to this classic question, what is "best", de novo or mapping assembling.
Answers are somewhat vague as far as I could find (of course I might have missed good threads on the subject).
So I would like to ask it once more. Regarding bacterial genomes, 454 sequenced, plenty of references out there (known species). Our objective is to study a new pathotype, so we're looking for genes that might be novel and niche specific. In the end we have three pathogenic strains to compare to one non-pathogenic one, our negative control.
De novo? Mapping to ref. (and then de novo of unmapped reads, which are about 20%)?
Ideas? I'd appreciate a lot to hear from your experience.
Best,
SB
