Perhaps a pfam search on the protein domains might find homologies of interest. -
Find Homologous sequences in genomes of interest
Hello,
I have a gene of interest(GOI) identified from a patent application which indicates to be a gene isolated from Boechera species. I have around 15 sequences of the gene having varying levels of similarity ( until 70% ). I have regulatory sequences which are responsible for expressing the gene and I also have the protein/peptide sequences these gene sequences code for. My goal here is to see if this gene/protein is present in other plant species of interest of which some have published annotated genomes and some have just a draft assembly created internally.
My first step was to do a simple blastp of the protein sequences to my genomes of interest. However I could not see any valuable hits. What should I do next? I would like to see if other genomes harbor this gene or atleast be able to prove that this gene is unique and is not found in other genomes.

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...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
