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

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.Leave a comment:

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,

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

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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
