  • mira3 output

    Hi I am a first year phd student trying my hand at bioinformatcs. I assembled about 190,000 454 reads with mira3 and I need some help going through the output.

    The assembly info file indicated that I have 21,769 contigs. But the result fasta file shows around 24,000 sequences. I am assuming that the fasta sequences with the header name ending in 'c' (for example, >myProject_c1203) indicates a contig that was assembed. What are sequences that have header names ending in 's' or 'lrc' (>myproject_lrc2938).

    Does mira3 discard sequences that it thinks is of low quality or too short? I noticed that the number of reads assembled is 119,794 (2508 singlets), whereas the number of reads I fed into mira3 was around 190,000.

    I think "c" means a contig, "s" means singleton, and "lrc" is also a contig but where there were problems with repeats. Try Google:

      Hi Damiankao! I would stronlgy recommend signing up for the mira_talk mailing list ([email protected]) as well. The community is very friendly and Mira's author, Bastien Chevreux, answers questions everyday.

        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,...
