  • How? - Apply BLAST identities to transcriptome

    Hello, I could use help with the following problem -

    I've assembled a transcriptome and I can BLAST against Drosophila to identify some of the transcripts. Now I have two files: the BLAST output and transcript fasta. I would like to append the names (subject IDs) from the BLAST file to the fasta >headers.

    The closest I can get is to format my BLAST output to a CSV with the query and subject IDs in the first two columns, but I'm not sure how to put together a script that will search for transcripts in my fasta and add the IDs.

    Any advice or other solutions?

    Thanks

    Which scripting language are you learning? e.g. Perl, Python, or Ruby.

    Whichever you pick, this should be a simple job combining the FASTA input file and the BLAST output to give an annotated FASTA file. BioPerl, Biopython or BioRuby would make it easy to work with the BLAST XML output, but I'd recommend the tabular output as it is trivial to parse.

      MAKER comes with an accessory script (maker_functional_fasta) that maps functional information onto a fasta. It might take some shuffling of your BLAST output to get it in the expected input format.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
