We are planing to move to Solexa from 454, the problem is if it is possible to get a good assemble from only Solexa data for the human Mitochondrial DNA(17Kb, circular, no repetitive element)?

I have seen good assembly for plant mitochondrial DNA using 35bp reads. The fact that there's no repetitive element makes it easier. -
Do you have the reference paper?Comment
-
Oops...my mistake. What I saw is chloroplast DNA (~160kb) not mitochondrial DNA. I think it's not published yet.Comment
-
I asked some experts, it seems highly possible, although nobody publish it yet.

We have sequenced human mito DNA on the Illumina and get very good results.Comment

Hi Bruce,
What's your software to do the assembling?Comment

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
