Hi,
Is it ok to do the metagenome analysis with MG-RAST? Or does it have a major shortcoming?

It is more than just OK.
But, as everything, it has pros and cons.
One of the major advantage is that you don't need local computational efforts, because everything is done at their servers.
And maybe the main disadvantage is that it you are limited by the analyses and outputs they have chosen. However, there is enough diversity and flexibility of them to do many of the most relevant.
Another problem is the lack of an official forum like the ones of mothur and qiime.
But in my opinion, go for it, you won't regret.

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
