  • Metatranscriptome analysis pipeline

    Hello there!
    I've just started analysing bacterial metatranscriptome Illumina data. I'm a bit confused on the pipeline to follow. That's what I did:
    -I used FastQC to have a general overview of my sequences quality, then I removed the adaptors using the FastX toolkit;
    -I assembled the data using Velvet and then Oases, obtaining a file with transcripts.
    Now I'm not sure about how going on... I thought to use BLAST for annotation and then mapping the files from each sample individually to the assembled transcriptome using BWA... But then I don't know how proceed... I'd like to have something like this:
    GeneID SampleID1 SampleID2 .......

    gene1 %abundance %abund
    gene2 %abund %abund
    ....
    Then use this table to build some of those awesome plots like heatmaps...
    Is there a software that produce an output like this?? Then, does anyone have comments/suggestions on the workflow I used?
    Thanks a lot

    You should read the tutorials in the khmer documentation, and then make use of the khmer scripts.

    Briefly, you do your read trimming and adapter removal, then you perform digital normalisation to reduce the redundancy in your read set, then you partition the de-brujn graph to separate out different organisms, and then you do the assembly.

      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...

      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...
