Novoplasty Completed Successfully but Did Not Produce Contigs in Output File #231
Comments
Insects can have a long repetitive control region, so those lengths can be possible. |
Hi, thanks for your reply. This genome appears to have long repetitive regions, but I am also concerned about potential misassemblies. I say this because I verified long-read mitogenome assembly method on Calliphora sp ONT data (whose mitogenome is typically 15-16kb). However, using Flye with this method resulted in a 32kb circular contig, which raises concerns about misassemblies. Any suggestions you have would be helpful. I also tried NOVOPlasty with a small k-mer value, but it still didn't produce a circular contig. I’ve attached the log file for your reference. |
At least this assembly outputted the assembled sequence, but it is probably not possible to accurately assemble the complete genome with just short reads. Do you also have long reads for this sample? |
Yes, I did try assemble using ONT reads but gave with long 32kb contig, with lot of repeats in control region, which I think is because of misassembly. |
If you have short and long reads from the species (preferably same sample), it should be easy to assemble. I do have an unpublished hybrid assembler that I used for another user before: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/4/3976 I have a new long read assembler I just put online, which works much better than Flye. I will create a Docker in the future because Perl modules can be annoying to install on a cluster, but it doesn't need any memory so maybe you can run it on your desktop or laptop: https://github.com/ndierckx/NOVOLoci |
Thanks, that's so nice of you but I would first like to try your long read assembly (NOVOLoci), if it still doesn't work then will comeback to you for hybrid method |
I recently used Novoplasty to assemble the mitogenome from short read data of Microtonus aethiopoides ecotypes. Although the process completed successfully, it did not produce any contigs. I initially assembled the mitogenomes using Flye on Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) long read data for eight samples and obtained circularized genomes with sizes ranging from 29-32kb, which is unusually large for insect mitogenomes. To validate these results, I tried using Novoplasty on the short read data from the same samples. Despite the successful run, Novoplasty did not generate any contigs. I expected Novoplasty to produce contigs to compare with the Flye assembly results. I also wrote in Biostar (https://www.biostars.org/p/9599074/) to find answers for large mitogenomes but didn't find useful suggestions to validate. I would appreciate any suggestions!
