Is there some good software to automatically annotate a DNA sequence? I'm dealing with a specific situation right now, but it would be nice to have a general tool that just takes a DNA sequence and automatically annotates it well based on information from databases. In my situation right now, I am looking at chimeric transcripts in cancer cells where two transcripts from different genes are fused together. Therefore, I get a sequence, blast it, find out which part matches with transcript A, find out which part matches with transcript B, and then I annotate it using APE (Advanced Plasmid Editor) to mark which part of the sequence corresponds to transcript A and B, the start codon, the stop codon. I can then acquire some useful information such as the protein produced, and the protein sequence after the fusion point. Anyway, does anyone have a good recommendation for automatically annotating DNA sequences?

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
