So I thought would try Newbler (Roche's 454 assembler) and MIRA3 (a good option for 454 sequences).
#CLC GENOMICS WORKBENCH NUMBER OF READS TOO LOW TORRENT#
We expect Ion Torrent reads to have similar homopolymer and carry-forward errors as the 454, so it makes sense to try assemblers that work well on 454 data. Ion Torrent have partnered with CLC Bio and DNAStar as bioinformatics partners and so CLC Genomics Workbench and SeqMan NGen already have Ion Torrent support built-in, so it makes sense to try them. Many of the original Sanger-sequenced genomes made do with less than this. This is a little on the low side - if it was 454 data I'd prefer 15x or even 20x - but it is still sufficient to make it worthwhile proceeding. coli K-12 DH10B has a 5Mb genome, so 49Mb of data means should give approximately 10x coverage, assuming all the reads are incorporated into the assembly.

However Ion Torrent do not have an in-house assembler (yet), so it is an open question which software to use, and how well the process works. Early reports on the Ion Torrent community forum are that it is both fast and accurate. De novo AssemblyĪligning these reads to a reference is fairly trivial, and Ion Torrent supply some software called TMAP, written by Nils Homer (author of BFAST) to achieve this. I might be inclined to trim some of the low quality sequence but for now I have left all the sequences in. GC distribution, looks pretty good and consistent with E.

The tails are reportedly quite low quality (Q10 = 1/10 chance of base being wrong). There are a total of 522,099 sequences and a total of 49,040,224 bases, giving a mean read length of 93 bases.īase qualities start around Q30 and then fall towards the 3' end of the read, in common with both 454 and Illumina. I ran it through the excellent PRINSEQ to get some quality reports (I could have equally used FastQC). The Ion Torrent server makes the reads available in both FASTQ and SFF format, which makes life easy for feeding to various pipelines. Read Analysisįirstly, as is recommended when assembling de novo, I assessed the read data for quality. This is crucial for novel gene discovery and detection of large-scale insertions and deletions, both important for the kind of bacterial genomic epidemiology work we want to use the instrument for. However, I am interested in a particular application: de novo assembly, where the genome sequence is predicted without a reference sequence. And in fact whilst I was preparing this post Keith Robison recently posted a more detailed analysis of the quality scores. This is from a single run of a 314 chip and consists of 49Mb of raw sequence - way above the minimum spec (10Mb).Īn accompanying Ion Torrent application note is a useful initial guide to these reads. coli K-12 DH10B dataset (registration required) on their Torrent Dev community site. However, I couldn't help but be intruiged when I saw that Ion Torrent posted an E. We're not complaining too much, we ideally need the 316 chips which produce >100Mb to start doing the work we have pencilled in for it (genomic epidemiology of Acinetobacter). Our training is now scheduled for next week.

After waiting for installation there have been various changes to the protocols and reagents, plus we needed to buy some more equipment to make libraries (a Bioruptor, for shearing). A combination of factors have impeded our progress. Well we've had our Ion Torrent for nearly 6 weeks now, but we haven't yet run it. Please note that SRR396639_1/2 is a mate-pair library while SRR396640_1/2 are standard paired-end sequences.First look at Ion Torrent data: De novo assembly

To download the genome sequences for the Denovo assembly tutorial use the following links SRR396639_1.fastq.gz, SRR396639_2.fastq.gz, SRR396640_1.fastq.gz, and SRR396640_2.fastq.gz.A second zoom video recording is available with this link (or by download, transcript) which finishes the resequencing tutorial and continues into the de-novo genome assembly tutorial. Zoom recordings from 2020 are available for stream or by download from gdrive ( transcript) for the resequencing analysis using tracks tutorial.Either follow along with Loading data to split the fastq files from compiled read 1 and 2 to separate files or download the split_r1_r2.zip with the files already split.Download the three files: human_g1k_v37.fasta,, Note: If you don’t want to split the fastq files yourself, only download the Human glk v37 fasta and then download the split_r1_r2.zip file below.
