New to genome assembly

03-02-2011, 02:38 PM

Hi,

My name is Jason Somers and I am currently a PhD student in the Genetics department of The University of Melbourne. I am situated at the Bio21 institute in the Batterham Lab. Our lab has just funded the solexa (re)-sequencing of two Drosophila EMS generated mutant strains and the background strain the mutants were created in.

I have little background in bioinformatics and the support I have is not always around to answer my questions. So please forgive any basic questions I have while I try to understand the assembly and analysis process.

Cheers

Jason

Hi,

You are absolutely not alone Jason, i have just boarded to newbie club of sequence assembly .

I am a student too, MS from Turkey. I am snitching around, seeking for some cookbooks, recipes or clear instructions on this topic, so far i can not name myself as "succeeded". So far i did some primer design from 454 data, it is exciting, that might be only thing i can say right now.
I guess i'll see you around..

Best,
Comment

Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications

by SEQadmin2

Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
