You could use mapPacBio.sh from BBMap (which chunks input sequences into 6 kb pieces and then aligns them).
In this size range though you could use BLAT or LASTZ as other alternatives.Leave a comment:

Align full length contigs instead of reads
Hello,
Splice aligners like HiSAT2 and STAR are optimised to map short reads (~100bp) to large genomes. I have assembled contigs available. I wish to align those contigs to the genomes. Do you think using HiSAT2 and STAR to align the contigs to a long genome will be a good choice? If not, could anyone suggest a better alternative?
Thank you

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM
