  • Can anyone recommend software for annotating novel transcripts/genes from Tuxedo

    Hi,

    I am running RNASeq experiments and identifying and quantifying novel genes and transcripts using a Tudedo pipeline (Bowtie--> TopHat--> Cufflinks--> Cuffcompare--> Cuffmerge--> Cuffdiff). I am looking to annotate the novel genes, transcripts and isoforms from the GFF files output by the Tuxedo suite. If possible, I also wish to get a class of students onto the annotation process also.

    Is there any software that can be used for such large-scale genome annotation? (I have tried using Apollo but it will not open GFF files in a windows environment).

    Best is can suggest is to use a utility to fetch the sequence of the novel features (Tophat provides gffread for this...try gffread -h for help) and then use NCBI's blast to find hits with known gene features. It's kind of a one-at-a-time thing so maybe that's perfect for an army of students.

      Do a gff to fasta conversion (prefearably after removing the known genes), then run the sequences through blast2go. That works fairly well and won't require an army of students, but rather a lot of CPU-hours (assuming its a lot of novel transcripts).

        Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
        by seqadmin




        Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...

        Expert Advice on Automating Your Library Preparations
        by seqadmin



        Using automation to prepare sequencing libraries isn’t a new concept, and most researchers are aware that there are numerous benefits to automating this process. However, many labs are still hesitant to switch to automation and often believe that it’s not suitable for their lab. To combat these concerns, we’ll cover some of the key advantages, review the most important considerations, and get real-world advice from automation experts to remove any lingering anxieties....
