  • Newbler assembly - excluding specific reads?

    Hi,

    I have sequenced genomic DNA from a eukaryote and have ran a newbler assembly of the sff file from the 454 lab. Some of the contigs are clearly belonging together, but are not assembled into one. This seems to be caused by a few reads that looks like artefacts from the genomic amplification. (These reads are split into two and the two halves match each end of the contig, like a circle.)

    I wonder if it is possible to run newbler and to specify that these reads (i have the names) should not be considered?

    Thanks!

    Jon

    Jon,

    Yes, you can exclude specific reads from the assembly. Create a text file with the read names you wish to exclude, one name per line, nothing else. When you run newbler use the parameter '-fe <filename>' where filename is the file described above.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
