  • MEGAN and blast against NR

    I am hoping someone else has encountered this issue:
    We have shotgun metagenomic samples which we have blasted against nr ( downloaded dec 2014); when we import the blast output onto MEGAN it all looks fine at the top taxonomical level.
    However when we try to look at KEGG or COG we get zero reads assigned; this happens even when I load the Auxiliary mapping files for KEGG analysis as suggested on the MEGAN website. ( at the Load GI mapping tab on the KEGG tab)


    Am I missing something completely obvious?

    I had that issue. I had only asked for the best hit. The LCA analysis in MEGAN requires a minimum of 5 best hits to work.

      I have the same issue. But setting Min Support to 5 doesn't fix the problem. Is that the parameter you meant? Would be great if anybody could help...
      I performed a blastx to swissprot db without any evalues and outfmt 7. The import of the blast table doesn't seem to cause any problem.

        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...
