Assembly of RNA-seq short reads into a transcriptome. 12 hour minimum ($876 internal, $1,116 external) per project.
1. Quality Assessment
Quality of data assessed by FastQC.
We use community standard assemblers to generate a de novo assembly. Assembly is a very computationally complex task, and may not finish within the time limits imposed on compute jobs at TACC, especially for large data sets. If an initial assembly run doesn't complete within TACC time limits, we employ a variety of strategies such as in silico normalization to get a complete assembly.

If we are unable to finish an assembly, no charge.
We can take a completed assembly and BLAST against UniProt or HMMER against Pfam for an additional charge. These homology searches will give some indication of what the assembled transcripts represent.
