  • Comparing structure of homologous genes

    I have few genes for a grass species. now I want to compare the structure of these genes (like length of gene and protein, no. of exons and introns, size of exons and introns, GC content in these regions, etc) with their homologs from other sequenced genomes. Any suggestions or softwares that can do this analysis in one go? Thank you

    Have a look at FeatureStack. Disclaimer: I am author of this program.

      Is it this paper: http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals...nt/28/23/3137?

      This software is for visualizing the comparisons when one has the gene data on hand, correct? OP wants to find and then display this information.

        Mauve (http://gel.ahabs.wisc.edu/mauve/) is worth a try, if your target genomes are not very dissimilar.

        You could also use blast/blat searches, identify the homologous regions in new genomes and then use the software in post #2.

          Yes, that is correct. You need to have gene models first.

            Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
            by seqadmin


            The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

            Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
            by seqadmin


            Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
