  • Finding 16s DNA Sequence in de novo assembled genome

    From time to time I find I'm working with a bunch of de novo assemblies. I've been interested in doing some comparative genomics and perhaps making some group-specific 16s rRNA primers.

    I'm just wondering if there is an accepted way of extracting 16s DNA from de novo assemblies that I'm just not finding.

    I've used BLAST and other Local alignment programs using universal primers, but this doesn't strike me as very efficient and I'm sure I'm not the only one trying do something like this. Can anyone point me toward any papers or personal experience doing something like this.

    Thanks!

    You can use a tool like barrnap

    HTML Code:

    or RNAmmer

    to predict rRNA locations on your contig sequences.

          That is a very straightforward approach and I have done that in past. I was just wondering if there was something that could quickly extract the sequences without reinventing the wheel.

          It looks like the barrnap program does a quick annotation and then I can use something like bedtools to extract the sequences using the produced GFF.

            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...
