The usual starting point for bioinformatics analyses involves genome assembly and functional annotations. Frequently, this service includes whole genome sequence identification and genomic characterization. As for genome assembly, it is the process of piecing together the short reads generated from DNA sequencing into a contiguous sequence, known as a contig. The contigs are then further merged into scaffolds, representing a more comprehensive view of the genome. This process can be quite challenging, particularly when working with complex genomes or when the sequencing depth is not sufficient. Ultimately, the quality of the assembly will depend on the combination of the sequencing technology used, the bioinformatics tools employed, and the expertise of the researchers involved.
TAXON utilizes assembly pipelines that can follow either a
reference based or de novo approach, which enables the provision
of a high-quality finished genome sequence. Once sequence reads
have been optimally merged into finished genomes, a thorough
quality assessment is conducted.
