  • 454 assembling against reference genome

    Hi,
    Can anyone please let me know from where I can download "Reference Sequence" that I can run against BLAT. I came across this term quite too frequently but I am unsure which file might be the correct.
    Regards!!

    You should be able to find a reference genome for your species of interest at the NCBI website.

      Finding the proper reference sequence is one of my biggest headaches. But then our facility deals with off-beat genomes.

      Nils is correct that NCBI is a good bet to get your reference. But often the species specific web sites often have a more up-to-date reference than NCBI. Additionally different groups will annotate the same species in different ways. Thus there can be multiple web sites out there producing varying references.

      I have now gotten to the point where I insist that the researcher (for who I am working) give me the *exact* web page where I can download their reference. None of the "oh, just assembly 4 of my desired species."

        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...
