    annotating large number of eukaryotic contigs

    What is the best way to annotate large number of contains from a eukaryote. BlastX is going to take a long time. I was wondering if FgeneSH will be a better first step?

    What is it exactly that you want to do?
    It sounds like you want to gene prediction and annotation in one run which doesn't work.

    Do gene prediction first (here is a small list of programs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ction_software). For eukaryotes I prefer augustus or genemark.

    For gene annotation you can use something like Blast2GO which is very easy to use. But it takes some time...

      Fgenesh worked very well for my needs as a first step to identify potential genes. To actually annotate, fgenesh++ would be needed but I have not been able to try that out with my scaffolds (anyone have any experience with this program?) My workflow is to import the fgenesh results into webapollo and then do the rest of the annotation steps manually:

        I was worried that since its eukaryote, there would be few full length genes on each contig.

        appreciate both of you.

        Best,

          Depends how long the contigs are. It is likely that even long contigs (over 10 Kb) will contain only partial genes. But as long as you are not trying to carry out whole genome comparisons you can assemble whole genes of interest from the partial genes in these contigs (as long as these are single copy genes).

            Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
            by SEQadmin2



            Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

            Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

            New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
            by SEQadmin2


            Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

            We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
