This seems like a lot of unnecssary work now that BLAST itself offers descriptions in the tabular output,

2.2.26 (2.2.27) didn't have this feature, and when I talked to NCBI they stated "no plans to include" - we wrote the script well over a year ago. I'm glad they did it.Originally posted by maubp View PostLast edited by cement_head; 08-20-2013, 01:55 AM.Comment

I'd like to think my open letter blog post helped motivate them to add this
It wasn't clear from your post announcing your script that it pre-dated BLAST 2.2.28+ being released.Comment

I was floored when I called them up and asked them why one couldn't extract that information with 2.2.26 - they said "why would anyone want to do that?" - so we wrote the script - anyway, thanks for pointing out that 2.2.28 does this (I hadn't checked).Originally posted by maubp View PostI'd like to think my open letter blog post helped motivate them to add this

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...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
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
