  • Guide Trees for 100K sequences and Custom PSSMs

    Hi,

    I have a group of antibody sequences that I know should not produce insertions or deletions as I know they come from the same ancestor. Using MSA software like clustalw this is easy by just setting the gap scores to something extremely high. However, I'm getting segmentation faults for large amounts of sequences (>100K). Does anyone have any idea how to mitigate this or have a suggestion for another MSA program to use?

    My second question is entering custom PSSMs. It seems that you can enter your own PSSM using clustalw as well but I can't find any documentation on how I would do that.

    My end goal is to show two phylogenetic tree's. One from a guide tree produced using just a standard PSSM like PAM30, and the other using my custom PSSM that I produced with some structural information.

    Can anyone begin to tell me where to look for this information?

    J

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
