Genome Assembly – Olympia Oyster Illumina & PacBio Using PB Jelly w/BGI Scaffold Assembly

After another attempt to fix PB Jelly, I ran it again.

We’ll see how it goes this time…

Re-ran this using the BGI Illumina scaffolds FASTA.

Here’s a brief rundown of how this was run:

See the Jupyter Notebook for full details of run (see Results section below).

Results:

Have added this assembly to our Olympia oyster genome assemblies table.

This took an insanely long time to complete (nearly six weeks)!!! After some internet searching, I’ve found a pontential solution to this and have initiated another PB Jelly run to see if it will run faster. Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see how the results compare from two independent runs of PB Jelly.
