Dear all,
Anyone has such experience? How to conquer the issue of low input DNA?
Thanks,
Wei

Make sure to have Illumina data from the same DNA prep for efficient error-correction
Two points:
1. To get more DNA try making the sample prep more efficient/use more starting material/
2. To allow efficient error-correction of the pacbio reads also prep PCR-free (optional: + Nextera matepair) libraries from the same lot of DNA as used for creating the PAC-Bio libraries, and sequence them at 30X coverage compared to the volume of the raw pacbio data you are getting.
First do self-errorcorection of the pacbio subreads from the same template,
than error correct the filtered pacbio subreads using the Illumina data before the assembly.

Differential Expression and Data Visualization: Recommended Tools for Next-Level Sequencing Analysis
After covering QC and alignment tools in the first segment and variant analysis and genome assembly in the second segment, we’re wrapping up with a discussion about tools for differential gene expression analysis and data visualization. In this article, we include recommendations from the following experts: Dr. Mark Ziemann, Senior Lecturer in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Deakin University; Dr. Medhat Mahmoud Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Baylor College of Medicine;...05-23-2023, 12:26 PM -
Continuing from our previous article, we share variant analysis and genome assembly tools recommended by our experts Dr. Medhat Mahmoud, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Baylor College of Medicine, and Dr. Ming "Tommy" Tang, Director of Computational Biology at Immunitas and author of From Cell Line to Command Line.
Variant detection and analysis tools
Mahmoud classifies variant detection work into two main groups: short variants (<50...05-19-2023, 10:03 AM -
With new tools and computational resources being released regularly, it can be hard to determine which are best suited for the analysis process and which older tools continue to be maintained. In an effort to assist the sequencing community, we interviewed three highly skilled bioinformaticians about their recommended tools for several important analysis applications.
Quality control and preprocessing tools
