  • 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.

          Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
          by seqadmin


          The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

          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...
