    MEGAN and blast against NR

    I am hoping someone else has encountered this issue:
    We have shotgun metagenomic samples which we have blasted against nr ( downloaded dec 2014); when we import the blast output onto MEGAN it all looks fine at the top taxonomical level.
    However when we try to look at KEGG or COG we get zero reads assigned; this happens even when I load the Auxiliary mapping files for KEGG analysis as suggested on the MEGAN website. ( at the Load GI mapping tab on the KEGG tab)


    Am I missing something completely obvious?

    I had that issue. I had only asked for the best hit. The LCA analysis in MEGAN requires a minimum of 5 best hits to work.

      I have the same issue. But setting Min Support to 5 doesn't fix the problem. Is that the parameter you meant? Would be great if anybody could help...
      I performed a blastx to swissprot db without any evalues and outfmt 7. The import of the blast table doesn't seem to cause any problem.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2




        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
