    How to dig out single particular gene from assembled contigs

    Sorry if this question has been asked before. I just did a RNA-seq of a plant parasitic nematode species, and assembled 50,000 contigs by Trinity.
    I would like to dig out a full-length sequence of endoglucanase gene, and do some protein structure prediction like that. Partial sequence of this gene was available through previous degenerate PCR. Does anybody know a easy and simple way to do it?
    Thanks a lot.

    Blast of your Trinity contigs against the partial sequence? Should be fast enough and sensitive enough to pick up the contig(s). Or am I missing something obvious here?

      Hey, Westerman in Purdue, thank you for you replying.
      Are you talking about build a local db or www-blast something like that?

        Local db. Using the older version of blast (although blast+ is similar):

        1) formatdb -i Trinity.fasta -p F -o T
        2) blastall -p blastn -d Trinity.fasta -i myfile.fa -o output.blastn
        3) manually look at output.blastn to figure out the id of the matching contig
        4) fastacmd -d Trinity.fasta -s myid > found.fa

          Thanks westerman -- we modified for the new blast+ as below --

          1) makeblastdb -in Trinity.fasta -dbtype nucl -parse_seqids -out TrinityBlast -title "All contigs"
          2) blastn -query myfile.fa -db TrinityBlast -out myfile.out
          3) same
          4) blastdbcmd -db TrinityBlast -entry myid > found.fa

            Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
            by seqadmin




            The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

            Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
            by seqadmin




            The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
