Identifying paralogs for a whole genome
I have an e. coli genome and I want to know which genes are paralogs so I can investigate how RNA-seq reads are mapping to multiple positions. What I would like to do is get a full list of paralogs within my e.coli genome. I could blast the genome against itself and write some scripts to sort and select potential paralogs, but it seems like a problem that many people have likely encountered in the past and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. Is there a tool out there that can do this sort of thing already? Thanks very much!

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Today, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
