Hi @jesgomez, thanks for sending the EAR of Chaetopelma olivaceum. |
|
Hi @additive3, do you agree to supervise this assembly? |
|

Hi @auryjm, do you agree to review this assembly? |
|
Hi @jesgomez Nicely produced spider genome assembly. Only query I have releates to the mapped read coverage. how have you mapped to the assembly as autosomes are showing double coverage to the sex chromosomes. Were they mapped to each assembly separately and merged? Happy to sign off on the assembly otherwise |
|
thanks @additive3. To produce the coverage track the ont reads were aligned to the diploid fasta file with minimap2. Since we are not filtering out multimappings and there's only one copy of each X chromosome per 2 of each autosome, we get half cpverage. |
|
Yes |
|
Thanks for agreeing! |
|
well, that's what you would expect if we were only considering primary alignments, but since we don't filter out secondary alignments, we are like artificially "doubling" the coverage of the autosomes. |
|
Hi @jesgomez, Specifically:
In parallel, I suggest an organization for SUPER_7 based on the comparison of both haplotypes, which do not exhibit breakpoints at the same locations. Here is my savestate : One last point regarding coverage: we also encountered an issue in another genome where secondary alignments were retained, which likely masked the expected half-coverage pattern of haplotigs (in the case of a haploid assembly/map). |
|
Thanks @auryjm, I like your reorganization of SUPER_7 and most of your additional placements. I can produce the updated pdf for you to do a final check. |
|
Attention @auryjm, the EAR PDF was updated. |
|
Sounds good to me, |
|
Thanks @auryjm for the review. Congrats on the assembly @jesgomez! After @additive3 confirmation, you can start with the assembly submission to save time. |
