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?

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
