  • Want to generate more data to fill in gaps

    Hello,
    This might be a stupid question.
    We are currently working on a ~5M bacterial genome assembly. Our reads data is ~8X coverage, 454 sequencing. The coverage is kind of low. So we used re-guided assembly. Now we found there were still lots of gaps (~500).
    If we want to fill in these gaps, should we resequencing the whole genome on 454? It still costs us too much. Does anybody have any other suggestions?

    Thank you very much.

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
