Genomic features of two Anastatus wasps, A. japonicus and A. fulloi We employed PacBio high-fidelity (HiFi) long-read sequencing and Illumina short-read sequencing technologies to generate high-quality contigs for two Anastatus wasps, A. japonicus and A. fulloi (Supplementary Tables 1 and 2). These contigs were further scaffolded using Hi-C libraries to…

Order of reads in Long read FASTQ file 0 Hi all, FASTQ files contain sequencing reads ‘as they come off the sequencing instrument.’ Is there any particular order to them in long read fastq file for ONT and PacBio? E.g. based on the position of the flow cell? Quality? I…

Get reference genome from Kraken2 taxID 0 I have a ~10Gb ONT metagenome from citrus psyllid that I am trying to extract bacterial contigs from to assemble. My current thought for a pipeline is broadly as follows: Tentative ID of each contig with Kraken2, then QC to only take assignments…

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) have transformed genome engineering techniques. Numerous toolsets have been created to enable easy and efficient loss-of-function perturbations of functional genomic sites. Study: CRISPR/Cas9 deletions induce adverse on-target genomic effects leading to functional DNA in human cells. Image Credit: elenabsl/Shutterstock The CRISPR/Cas9 system’s elements…

“Over the past few years, with the pandemic, our anxious amygdala, the part of the brain that recognizes danger and puts us on high alert, has been on hyperalert, triggering a near-constant stress response” (Dmitry Kostyukov/The New York Times ) When Jennifer Heisz She was in grad school, borrowed a…

Hi All, I am trying to make cnet plots of differentially expressed genes between 2 tissue types, looking at specific pathways identified from enrichGO analysis. When I plot this a bunch of non-significantly regulated genes are appearing as uncolored dots and I am not sure how to stop this from…

Why did I achieve shorter than initial reads subset after aligned reads extraction. 1 Hello dear colleages! I have recently faced some problem. I have worked with long WGS reads. Firstly I have filtered the longest subset of reads, and aligned them to the custom sequence with several structural variants…

Minimap2 options for Nanopore cDNA direct seq 0 Hello, I’m working with ONT RNA seq data and I used the cDNA direct seq to do the seq. I want to look for long deletions in mRNAs that are not spliced, for this, I want to use the splice option of…

INTRODUCTION Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized many areas of biological research (1, 2), providing ever-more data at an ever-decreasing cost. One such area is microbiome research, the study of microbes in their theater of activity using metagenomic sequencing (3). Here, deep short-read sequencing, and improving performance of long-read sequencing, are…

The program align.py uses mappy to align reads in Python using multiple worker threads. After loading the index the memory usage jumps up quickly to >20Gb and then continues to climb steadily through 40Gb an beyond. This issue was first discovered in bonito and isolated to mappy. The data flow…

Samtools flagstat 1 I aligned my ONT sequencing run with minimap2, subsequently I filtered the file using samtools view -b -F 256 aln_transcriptome_sorted_6.bam -o filtered_aln_transcriptome_6.bam to end up with primary alignments only. When I run samtools flagstat on the filtered file I get the following output: 3502608 + 0 in…

BLEND is a mechanism that can efficiently find fuzzy seed matches between sequences to significantly improve the performance and accuracy while reducing the memory space usage of two important applications: 1) finding overlapping reads and 2) read mapping. Finding fuzzy seed matches enable BLEND to find both 1) exact-matching seeds…

I am trying to replicate the mergeByOverlap function from R BioConductor in python using the pyranges package. In R the code would be: gr.snp <- with(gr.snp, GRanges(chr, IRanges(start, end),rsid=gr.snp$rsid)) snp.annotated <- data.frame(mergeByOverlaps(gr.snp, gencode, maxgap=2000, type=”start”)) which returns: nrow(snp.annotated) [1] 34 colnames(snp.annotated) [1] “gr.snp.seqnames” “gr.snp.start” [3] “gr.snp.end” “gr.snp.width” [5] “gr.snp.strand” “gr.snp.rsid”…

Feasibility of genomic skimming on the ONT minION sequencer The term ’genomic skimming’ was first coined by in 2012 by Straub et al. (2012)20 as a way to utilize shallow sequencing of gDNA to obtain relatively deeper coverage of high-copy portions of the genome, including mitogenomes. In combining genomic skimming…
