Why does the confirmation for number of kmers NOT always pop-up? #37
Comments
Hi, this particular dialogue is meant to inform the user about the amount of non-default-DNA-alphabet letters in the provided sequences. It is not unexpected to have some kmers being ignored and in your particular case, the frequency is really low, so everything should be fine. Regarding
this formula is correct. If I understand your question correctly, "Total Length" should then represent the cumulative length of the retained sequences in your provided FASTA file. Hope that helps and thank you for your interest in VizBin. Best, Cedric |
Hi Cedric,
I calculated the length of the EssentialGenes.fa as follows:
Does it discount kmers based on some criteria? Sorry, I am not getting this total correctly. Again, thanks for the response and for making VizBin. Ashish |
Hi Ashish,
frankly speaking, this feature is meant as a small reminder that something might need consideration within the data. It is not meant to serve as a proper/fullscale validity check, which, in any case, should occur prior to binning the data.
This calculation would be correct if we had a single sequence of that length.
which equals to 571704, since every sequence is 1,000 bp long. If one was to add 2 N's, the number would be 571706, i.e., as displayed by VizBin. So everything is in order there. Consequently, I consider this issue closed. Feel free to continue posting questions/comments if they are related to this issue. Otherwise, please open a new ticket describing the situation at hand. Let me know if there is anything else I can be of help with. Best, Cedric |
Below is the attached screenshot. Also, it seems that it the number of kmers shown is not equal to theoretical max: kmers=Total Length +1 -K (Kmer length).
Can you please check it? I can upload my test file if required.
Thanks for making VizBin.
