De Novo assembly?

Question

[walaa.shaalan]

I want to ask about the meaning of paired-end data and mate- pair data in De Novo assembly of paired data? and what is the meaning of assembly of paired data itself?

Hi walaa.shaalan.

Please have a look at page 5 of this Datasheet for visual comparison. Or here for Mate-end and here for Paired-end sequencing.

Also it would be fun to see this animation.
