  • Two sets of .fast5 files from Nanopore

    Hi,

    I am trying to Nanopolish a draft Nanopore genome I assembled with Canu.
    For my indexing step, I have two folders in the data given to me by the sequencing service that contain fast5 files.
    Which is the correct to use for indexing Nanopolish?

    I have one set, in a folder called fast5, which contains folders 0 to 215, each containing fast5 files that are small (20 kb to 1000 kb).

    I have a second set, in another folder albacore-2.2.5-FLO-PRO001-SQK-LSK109-by_dir, which contains folders 1 -215, each containing:
    configuration.cfg
    pipeline.log
    sequencing_summary.txt
    sequencing_telemetry.js
    workspace/
    which contains:
    fastq_runid_*.fastq
    0/
    containing fast5 files that are larger (33kb to 10,000 kb)

    The names of the files in fast5/1 or albacore*by_dir/1/workspace/0 are exactly the same but differ in size.

    I'm leaning toward the larger files as their folder shares a dir with the sequencing_summary.txt. But I'm really not sure. Anyone see this before?

    Thank you

    As far as I'm aware, it doesn't matter. Nanopolish uses the called fastq files together with the signal in the fast5 files, so both should work. I expect the main difference between the two fast5 file types is that one will include the called sequences as an additional folder within the fast5 files.

      Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
      by seqadmin




      During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

      Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...

      Addressing Off-Target Effects in CRISPR Technologies
      by seqadmin






      The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...
