Length of Contigs in Transcriptome and Whole Genome Assembly

Why are there shorter contigs from transcriptome assembly than from a whole genome assembly? I know the difference between transcriptome and genome, but don't really understand what contigs are in the ...

Trinity assembly from many samples

When you combine samples for de-novo transcriptome assembly with Trinity, do you suggest limiting the number of reads for each sample? I had read one of Matthew MacManes' papers awhile back suggesting ...

PacBio long-reads impact in transcriptome de novo assembly?

We are strongly interested in assembly a good transcriptome of reference for a non-model organism and build a local database. We have sequenced the same individual with Illumina (150 millions of pair-...

Decontaminating RNA seqs for de novo transcriptome assembly and annotation of novel eukaryotes

I have raw paired-end RNA-seq reads for two novel eukaryotic species. Some background: the reads represent a copepod (arthropod) species each. The mRNA for each read set was obtained by extracting ...

What is the current state-of-the-art in assembling hybrid transcriptomes?

We are considering attempting de novo assembly of a species transcriptomes (i.e. without a reference genome) using the combined NGS outputs of Iso-seq and Illumina. One example I saw (Li et al 2017),...

Difference between de novo transcriptome assembly methods

I have been looking around (including read the original papers) to understand what is essentially the difference between StringTie in non-reference based mode (de novo) and Trinity de novo assembly. I ...
