I don't know whether it's possible to use velvet to assemble SMRT reads. Also I want to know how to know the read coverage of SMRT. Is that a function of the number of the SMRT cells? What other parameter affect the result?

"Read coverage of SMRT" is not logical (unless you want a gross number e.g. total bases from SMRTcell/genome size).
I assume you want to know the characteristics (number of reads, length, median size etc) of data from a SMRT cell? This should be available in the SMRTportal where SMRTcell data is processed. If a sequence provider did the analysis for you ask them for a copy of the report of basic analysis (e.g. RS_reads_of_insert). -
Velvet does not assemble SMRT data. Take a look at https://github.com/PacificBioscience...Bio-Long-Reads for a list of assemblers.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
