Hey Mark, Glad to have you!

Thanks for introducing yourself - care to post a link and a description to your assembler?The more you know, the more you know you don't know. —AristotleComment

Hi Mark,
I'm sitting in Dr. Pevzner's talk at CHI and he's talking about EULER-SR...he had to skip the algorithmic discussion in the interests of time...but we'd love to hear about it in it's own thread...Comment

Unfortulately I missed most of that talk. He mentioned "Euler-usr" as in "ultra short reads"... is this a different version from Euler-SR, or is it just a slightly different name for the same thing, or did I misunderstand?
Cheers,
Scott.Comment

prolly have to register to download code ... looks like "frontier" research

Yeah, I realised after I posted that, that the EULER-USR is different from the SR version, but is not available until publication (which is fair enough I guess).Comment

A short description of EULER-SR
I'm a student of Pavel Pevzner, at UCSD. The assembler, EULER-SR, performs de Bruijn based assembly of reads. The "SR" in the name is a bit of a misnomer, since it can handle any length read. Our first publication on EULER-SR came out in Genome Research early this year:Originally posted by apfejes View Post
If you're coming from an academic or research institution, you can download it from:
The publication above is mainly regarding 454 reads, which I spent a lot of time getting it to work well on. Since then I've optimized it for Illumina reads as well, which mainly involved modifications that reduced memory usage - an E. coli assembly with 80X coverage runs on my desktop.
If you want to assemble Illumina reads, go ahead and download the software. The code that is pending publication is for the special case when you've run the sequencer dry of reagents, producing 50-60nt reads that have low quality ends.
For the next few days I've taken downloads offline since I need to improve the interface to euler-sr so that it is a bit more easy to run.Last edited by mchaisso; 06-17-2008, 12:54 PM.Comment

I'm interested in that. Is that what was discussed at the San Diego CHI conference? Is that going to be different version, or included in the standard download?Originally posted by mchaisso View Post

Hello I was wondering how do you create the rul names file and if you would care to make a better description of how to make it and what does each column mean and all of thatComment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.
Introduction
Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...05-22-2026, 06:42 AM -
Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
