finding bacterial genes in dataset

02-24-2021, 05:22 PM

Hi,

I am new to biology and genome sequencing. I am trying to figure out how I can utilize the knowledge that exists in the genome datasets. I get stuck at simple questions. Like the one I have right now is that if I have the genomics of the bacteria in the microbiome, then how can I figure out what is frequency of occurrence of a particular gene?

For instance, I am looking at this dataset -

Bacteria (ID 482748) - BioProject - NCBI

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA482748

A BioProject is a collection of biological data related to a single initiative, originating from a single organization or from a consortium. A BioProject record provides users a single place to find links to the diverse data types generated for that project

How can I look up the presence of a particular gene in this dataset? Can it be done? If yes, then can it be done online or do I have to download the entire dataset (and even then how to do it)?

I will appreciate it if someone could help and/or point me to the resources where I can learn how to do this stuff.

Thank you so much for your help!

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by GATTACAT

Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
