Can I use 5500 ECC chemistry for de novo genome sequencing? Just wondering why there is no reference on this issue.

Reference ? Reference paper ?
I guess it is just too new, and fairly unsuitable. Most de novo assemblies are done with longer reads, eg 454, Illumina 100bp+ PE, etc. Solid chemistry is particularly suited for reference based assembly.
One of the best attempts at Solid de novo assembly I've seen is Iverson et al. 2012 Science Untangling Genomes from Metagenomes.

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 -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
