  • JIGSAW gene prediction combiner - use for prokaryotes?!

    Hi, I have a recently assembled bacterial genome. It consists of a a couple dozens scaffolds, and I have put them through three gene prediction methods: Prodigal, Glimmer, and GeneMark.

    Now that I have three different gtf files describing putative genes, I want to somehow combine these results into a consensus list. I have been looking into such a combiner called JIGSAW and was wondering if anyone has experience using this software with bacteria (I think it was made with eukarylotes in mind).

    I am running with the following command:

    jigsaw -l -f "myGenome.fasta" -m "jigsaw.output" -e "myEvidenceFile"

    And my evidence file looks like this:

    scaffolds_GeneMark.gff gff geneprediction coding 1.0
    scaffolds_Prodigal.gff gff geneprediction coding 1.0
    scaffolds_Glimmer.gff gff geneprediction coding 1.0

    Typically, JIGSAW wants the user to provide the type of exon that was annotated (start, internal, end, etc), but since this is a prokaryote, I thought maybe it was best just to use the "coding" identifier.

    The problem is, for a particular contig that has an average of 10 genes predicted from each individual method (7 of which overlap perfectly between all three methods), JIGSAW is only predicting 2 genes!

    Any comments or suggestions and much appreciated

    I did the same. I predicted ORFs in a complete bacteria genome by glimmer, genemark and prodigal. However, how I can integrate all this information and decide which ORFs are the most probables ones and which ones are not?

      Look on Pubmed for "Reganor", I remember this software does exactly this combination of different gene prediction tools.

      Best,

        Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
        by seqadmin




        Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

        Recent Developments in Metagenomics
        by seqadmin





        Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...
