    Synteny analysis of unfinished sequencing species

    Dear everyone,

    Are complete genomic sequences or chromosome sequences necessary for synteny analysis ?
    If i just have some scaffold sequences of a species, Can i use it to analyze synteny of a targeted gene?

    Thank you very much!

    It depends on what your questions is. For looking a patterns of micro-synteny, you only need to compare small regions, and it isn't necessary to have whole chromosomes. However, it doesn't make sense to analyze synteny for a single gene because you need at least a few genes in a scaffold to possibly infer some type of rearrangement.

      If you have other ways to order the genes, such as a linkage or physical map, then you would be able to look for chromosome-scale rearrangements. But as SES says, you'll need some large scaffolds otherwise and then only be able to see changes if there are so many that every small region of the genome is altered.

          Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
          by seqadmin




          The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

          Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
          by seqadmin




          The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
