  • BLAST Output :gene prediction

    I'm working on BLAST with Neisseria meningitidis with around 2500 genes.
    For my sample, I am getting double the number of genes predicted than the ab-initio gene prediction tools, and I'm working from command line.

    How do I use culling limit?
    Is there any option to avoid repetitive and false positive results?


    The commands used:

    Making the database:
    makeblastdb -in finaldb.fa -dbtype 'nucl' -out final

    Command:
    blastn -db final -query input.fa -outfmt 6 -out output

    What are you using as your database, how many sequences in the database, and what are you using as the query?

    If you are running blast from the command line, type 'blastn -help', and you will get the online help page with the list of parameters for blast.

    You can get fewer hits by setting a lower e-value, or a higher percent identity.

      What's the problem with getting twice the amount of genes with blasting?
      I mean BLAST will show you still a good hit even if start and stop codon are not in it (means there's no gene, but a good blast hit).

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
