  • 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).

        Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
        by seqadmin


        At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

        How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
        by seqadmin



        Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...

        Methods for Investigating the Transcriptome
        by seqadmin




        Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
