    commandline blast

    Dear all,

    I am conducting a BLASTN (commandline) on my viral contigs. My study is about virus discovery. I have so far used the default settings for HIGHLY SIMILAR BLASTN search. I am wondering whether this will give appropriate results.

    Please advise!!

      What do you think? Have you looked at the results you have so far? You have listed the limitation of the type of search you did above. Is your aim to locate known viruses or sequences that *may* represent, so far unknown viral species?

          I am getting some interesting results but wanted another opinion from the forum!
          My aim is to identify viruses that could be in the samples (known or unknown).

              16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
              by SEQadmin2




              NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

              Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating              ...
