Hi all, I hope the community here can provide some suggestions and solutions for me.
I am doing a fungal genome de novo assembly. Now, I have that fungal sequenced by PacBio and result in three types of sequences
- CCS sequencing (bam and fastq file)
- CLR sequencing (only have bam file)
- CLR_CCS sequencing (only have bam file): followed CCS sequencing using the same sample after the CLR sequencing
I have two questions here. Can I use all three sequences together at the same time to get a better assembly? I think CLR sequences may play a role like the. reference genome when doing the alignment. Since I only have the bam file for #2 and #3, can I transfer the bam file to fastq and then do the assembly (using all three sequences together)?
If someone can provide with the reference, will be awesome.
Appreciated!!!
PacBio has some recommendations on software for genome assemblies on this page (which you may have seen but just in case): https://www.pacb.com/products-and-services/analytical-software/whole-genome-sequencing/
