BUSCO results apparently inconsistent
I have two assemblies obtained from two different softwares for the same run data. In one of them, I get a BUSCO score of 69,4%. In the other one, I get 68,5%. The first assembly covers a 99,7% ...

How to de novo hybrid assemble with Pacbio CCS and Illumina PE reads
I would like to perform de novo genome assembly on a diploid microalgal strain.
I have two datasets:
PacBio CCS/HiFi reads, low coverage.
Illumina PE 2x150 (standard shotgun)
Does anybody have any ...

Assembling all transcripts for an individual gene? (using single sequence to seed the assembly)
Let's say I have a candidate gene and I believe that in an individual sample, the genome sequence differs from the reference which then interferes with alignment.
Is there a way for me to do a "...

Quast duplication ratio and mismatches percent
When analyzing Quast results it seems that it doesn't calculate mismatches and indels in a useful way if the "Duplication ratio" is over 1.
For example, that's what I get for an assembly ...

How to filter a genome assembly consistsing of a large number of contigs?
I did some de novo genome assemblies with Illumina PE data using SPAdes, whereas most of them consisting of a large number of contigs(>1000). I have several questions below.
Do we need to filter ...
