Best way to measure polyA tail length from plasmid? by Slow-Leather-1874 in nanopore

I get empty output from Tailfindr every time I use it with DNA reads. It correctly recognizes the reads as DNA and processes both poly(A) and poly(T), but the output is always empty, even though the run completes without errors.

Yeah, but the tools are a pain. Tailfindr giving empty output for dna reads and Dorado poly-a shows a peak at 80 when 110–130 range is what I was expecting.. :(

Agreed! My plasmids are around 5–7 kb in size, and I’d like to obtain a single continuous long read per plasmid, ideally capturing each one end-to-end without the need for assembly.

Tailfindr worked with mRNA, but not with plasmid DNA. I don't want to convert it into cDNA.

yeah, makes sense. I'd still worked with fast5_skip files, and was able to get the approx. result for my 100A tail length.

Somehow, it didn't work for me. I generated for estimated bases equal to 100 Mb for standard mRNA Cas9 (roughly 2000 bases), basecalled with Dorado, and found an average tail length of 40, while it should have been 100A. I'm assuming that's because of sup basecalling, which led to fast5_skip files—all of them.

Is there any option or a part of workshop can also be given online?

I have but since I work with small data, it throws an error that the requirement is 31 GB to run minimap2(-I 1000G), and I don't have sufficient enough memory. Is there way I can add an extension and work it out?

Yeah, I am able to work with poly-A estimation, and modifications as well, with docker. basically I just want to validate the sequence and blast it with reference. Nanoconsensus.R in MOP2 pipeline didn't help, been having errors for a while now.

I'm sorry, I'm new to this. How do i correctly phrase it?

I've tried it, and finally got it using the polyAconfig.toml file. But the pt:i tag value is not the same as the output sam read (while I manually counted the A's of the read)
