  • Can OrthoMCL be used to cluster RNA sequences?

    I was thinking of using OrthoMCL to cluster RNA sequences. Does anybody know whether it is OK? Thanks!

    As far as I know, orthoMCL uses a set of protein sequences as input. So orthoMCL will not work with RNA (cDNA) sequences directly (but would after translating them into protein sequences).
    In any case, homology/orthology assessment is much more powerful for protein sequences than for DNA sequences.

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

        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...
