Assembly

2006_1226_WGA : initial assembly
Steps:
1. All cpqg reads have been downloaded from the TA (July 2006). The reads have been grouped by libraries and the clear range has been computed. There were 6.6M reads in the download compared with 7.3M now. Unfortunately I've only noticed this difference at the end of my experiment.
2. The Wolbachia endosymbiont of Culex quinquefasciatus assembly has been downloaded from the Sanger ftp site ( ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/pathogens/Wolbachia/Wb_Cq.dbs ) ; there are 95 sequences in this file. Most of them are very short. Below are listed the name,length & gc% of the longest 10: name length(bp) gc% culex173d08.p1k 1457497 34.17 culexbac1d10Bg07.p1k 24726 35.11 culex3d09.p1k 15587 21.81 culex166f03.q1k 13962 36.17 culex_1177_1189-1a02.w2k1177 13564 37.10 culex26b07.p1k 9245 35.53 culex174d04.p1k 8832 33.64 J28015Ag08.q1ka 7809 36.04 culex180e07.p1k 6960 36.59 culex53a02.p1k 5343 33.58
3. The cpqg random reads (clr only) have been aligned to symbiont sequences using nucmer (default parameters)
4. The nucmer output has been analyzed. It's been noticed that many of the short symbiont sequences (2-3KB in length) have a higher than expected number of alignments. To avoid the repeats I've selected only the reads that aligned to the longest 10 symbiont sequences (see above).
5. A 95% identity and minimum of 400 bp alignment thold has been used to
determine the symbiont reads. There were 29,110 unique reads (30,690
reads+mates) selected. Below is a per library breakdown (reads+mates):

6. The reads have been assembled using the runCA-OBT.pl script (default parameters). Most of the reads got assembled into 3 large scaffolds. There is mate pair evidence (outie mates) that the largest scaffold is circular.
All the scaffolds ens up in surrogates (20-50KB total surrogate length) Are there not enough BE to span the unique regions?
Cpqg.qc
scaff_8 Longest scaff scaff_9 2nd longest scaff scaff_7 3rd longest scaff scaff_6 Small scaff that Looks circular
7. The scaffolds/contigs have been aligned to longest 10 Wolbachia endosymbiont sequences. Most of the long alignments were at over 99% identity. However, several large rearrangements have been noticed.

2007_0802_WGA-default : new assembly
Steps:
1. All Culex reads have been downloaded from TA . ~1M new reads sincd 2006_1226
2. The reads have been aligned to the new reference (exclude mito,repeats) using nucmer (default parameters)
3. A 95% identity and minimum of 400 bp alignment thold has been used to determine the symbiont reads. 3850 new reads & mates in addition to the previous ones were identified
4. The reads have been assembled using the runCA-OBT.pl script (default parameters). Cpqg.qc
Compared to the initial assembly, many metrics went down (TotalBasesInScaffolds,MaxBasesInScaffolds,MaxContigLength ...) TotalSurrogates & SurrogateInstances more than doubled
2007_0802_WGA-0.5E : error rate =0.5 % => more fragmented assembly
2007_0802_WGA-0.5M : genome size=1.5M => more TotalBasesInScaffolds but more unhappy mates
What to do next?
