Can anyone please let me know any preprocessing steps (like cleansing adapters or any other steps) for non paired 454 sequenced data and any available tool that allows the same, before assembling is performed.
Thanks
Thanks

This all depends heavily on what kind of library (ESTs, gen. shotgun, fosmid pool etc) you are using. This decides if you have any kind of vector and/or adaptors to be removed. If your library is free of any unwanted sequence and you don't see the need for screening before assembly, then fine, go for it.
If not, tools like SSAHA (Sanger Centre), cross_match (WashU), megablast (NCBI) might be of assistance. There are many more.
Some assemblers also provide some kind of clipping functionality (e.g. MIRA).
cheers,

Thanks for your reply. It was really helpful.
What about PolyA and PolyT sequences? How long any sub-sequence be to qualify as polyA or polyT.Comment

Depends on your type of library and on the quality of the reads. Give it a try, play around.

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...Today, 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
