  • non paired adapters in 454 data

    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

    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.

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

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          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...
