  • Metatranscriptome analysis pipeline

    Hello there!
    I've just started analysing bacterial metatranscriptome Illumina data. I'm a bit confused on the pipeline to follow. That's what I did:
    -I used FastQC to have a general overview of my sequences quality, then I removed the adaptors using the FastX toolkit;
    -I assembled the data using Velvet and then Oases, obtaining a file with transcripts.
    Now I'm not sure about how going on... I thought to use BLAST for annotation and then mapping the files from each sample individually to the assembled transcriptome using BWA... But then I don't know how proceed... I'd like to have something like this:
    GeneID SampleID1 SampleID2 .......

    gene1 %abundance %abund
    gene2 %abund %abund
    ....
    Then use this table to build some of those awesome plots like heatmaps...
    Is there a software that produce an output like this?? Then, does anyone have comments/suggestions on the workflow I used?
    Thanks a lot
    Francesca

    You should read the tutorials in the khmer documentation, and then make use of the khmer scripts.

    Briefly, you do your read trimming and adapter removal, then you perform digital normalisation to reduce the redundancy in your read set, then you partition the de-brujn graph to separate out different organisms, and then you do the assembly.

      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.
