Optimizing de novo genome assembly from PCR-amplified metagenomes

@JulesRKM @JMA_Stough @szetoinsitu Yes, plus PCR-amplified libraries will lead to uneven coverage, which may make it difficult to identify misassemblies (https://t.co/33wzO2ZxOE). And amplification can also create chimeric DNA and/or RNA templates (which will look perfectly fine from an assembly point of view).
@SieraVirus @SaritAvrani Ella, I have done extensive testing with it for viromes & plan to publish a second paper this year on how it compares. In short it is not terrible but can be affected by PCR cycle #. DM me if you want to chat more. Here is the first paper with a some info https://t.co/l47bRzY4Iz

@merenbey @ReiterTaylor @campanarostef @BioMickWatson The "good" news: biases from "too-many-PCR" seem to be insert size related, so kind of homogeneous between genomes (https://t.co/33wzO2ZxOE) i.e. you can still use the metaG to have a rough approximation of relative abundance of genome A vs B (as seen in https://t.co/72NUCxWsLb)

Catching up on work from vacation. Optimizing bioinformatics yields more robust virus genomes. SPAdes has been getting a lot of attention for being the 'best' assembler for virus contigs & here we show sc>meta option (1 part of the paper). https://t.co/l47bRzY4Iz @simroux_virus
