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

I have only used UCHIME... From memory it does what you ask aboutLeave a comment:

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!

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...10-30-2026, 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
