    OCTUPUS and Chimera detection

    Hello everyone!

    Does anyone Know how OCTUPUS detect chimera, wich parameters it use?

    Does it takes in account the ratio of reads lenght and the number of base pairs that match with high similarity to the reference sequences?

    Thanks a lot!

          Hey JackieBadger,

          thanks for the answer. I know there are several software to detect chimeras, but we are currently working with OCTUPUS and I would like to figure out how it find chimeras sequences.

          thanks a lot

              The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

              16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
              by SEQadmin2





              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,...
