  • Looking for positive selection pipeline suggestions

    I need to set up some large scale assessments of lots of predicted transcripts from transcriptome assemblies for tests of positive selection. Does anyone have any specific suggestions on preferred approaches/tools for generating lots of multiple sequence aligns and running tests for positive selection on them (i.e. PAML)? Basically, I would like to take an input sequences, generate a multiple sequence alignment for it with genes from a selected group of species, clean-up and filter those MSAs for any downstream difficulties (i.e. end-trimming of alignments or dealing with gap) and then, given a tree for these species, test that alignment for positive selection (presumably using PAML). I have found a couple automated approaches to multiple sequence alignment editting/optimization (which is probably the part I'm most concerned about getting right automating) as well as looked into just programming it all myself in BioPython, but I would be curious to hear about any experiences/suggestions anyone would have with regard to this issue and if they have found a tools that they like with regard to this type of application.

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

    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...
