  • Different blast results between CLCBio and local blast

    Hi,

    I've been using CLCBio to blast assembled contigs, but it's really slow. I decided to try setting up a local blast database and using that to blast my contigs, but I'm getting different results even though I'm using the same parameters. The parameters are below:

    CLCBio:
    Code:
    Query genetic code: 1 Standard
    Limit by entrez query: All organisms
    Filter low complexity
    Expect: 10
    Word Size: 3
    Matrix: BLOSUM62
    Gap cost: Existrence 11, Extension 1
    Max number of hit sequences: 3
    Local Blast:
    Code:
    blastx -db nr -query ../results/contigs/CLC-contigs.fa -evalue 10 -matrix 'BLOSUM62' -word_size 3 -gapopen 11 -gapextend 1 -max_target_seqs 3 -outfmt "10 std stitle" -out ../results/blast/blast-005.csv -num_threads 4
    Since CLCBio and blast+ are using the same parameters and the same query sequence and the same database, I should the same results right? But I'm getting 226 hits in CLCBio that aren't in the local blast. Of these species, 2 are extremely important and are known to be in the query sequence.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
    by seqadmin



    Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

    Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
    by seqadmin




    Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
