  • Best tool to view sequence alignment?

    I blasted my de novo assembled RNA-Seq transcriptome for a particular protein using tblastn, and found three transcripts similar to this protein. The best hit matches with a 50% percent identity (e value 1E-11).

    I would like to create a figure displaying the sequence alignment with the greatest match to this protein, or all three transcripts that matched. I used ClustalW and Clustal Omega to align the sequences of my transcripts to the mRNA transcripts of the known protein I pulled off of NCBI but I don't like the aesthetics of the output and I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it.

    Any suggestions on a nice way to succinctly display sequence homology between my transcripts and this protein?

    Have you looked at tools here: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/

    You can also try MEGA (http://www.megasoftware.net/).

    The 50% identity over how many AA? You may only be looking at a similar/identical domain.

      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...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      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...
