    Using profile HMMs (HMMER) to annotate genomes

    Dear community,

    I didn't find a direct answer to my question. I am planning to annotate a huge bunge of genomes and metagenomes with profile HMMs like Pfam (also some custom models).

    Because of the large size of the data set, I won't be able to optimize individual alignments of the HMMs and I am looking for a good set of parameters for hmmsearch (inclusion parameters) and postprocessing thresholds for e-values and coverage values, i.e. length of the match with respect to the length of the domain model. Could you please cite or tell me infos about finding values that are a good compromise!? And how would it be when processing some metagenomes?

    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
