I have 454 data from cDNA sample. If I would like to report the number of reads of every isotig/contig, is it a correct way first to check the number of reads/contig from 454Allcontigs.fna. And after that check from the 454Isotigs.txt file which contigs forms an isotigs and sum the reads? What ways do you use? Is this a good way to report the most abundant transcripts?

I understand.
Which way would you determine the most abundant transcripts? Is this possible? Can you ever use the number of reads?Comment
-
A really crude way would be to divide number of reads (for a contig) by contig length. But, using real statistics (FPKM and all that) gives a much more reliable answer.Comment

real statistics
Can you recommend any good articles about how this statistical work has been done?Comment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
