  • 454Scaffolds = 454LargeContigs?

    I thought the new "scaffold" option in Newbler might do something interesting with my shotgun data even though I thought this term was previously only discussed in relation to paired-end data. Anyway, I have tried doing a de novo assembly of shotgun data both with and without the scaffold option selected. It seems that the scaffold output is identical to the largest contigs (of course there is variation depending upon scaffold and large contig length cutoffs). Is this normal or should I have expected anything different?

    The -scaffold option is not intended for assemblies where no paired end data are included. If you do see scaffolds, these are indeed contigs of at least 2 kbp.

      Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
      by seqadmin


      At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

      How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
      by seqadmin



      Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
