BBsplit looks great, thanks! Can't believe I hadn't seen it before, will try it out.
Cheers

This is a classic case for using BBSplit (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41288). Use the cyanobacterial genome(s) as the reference and the reads will be binned automatically. If you need help with the actual command line let us know.

Bowtie2 looks useful, certainly. However, wouldn't this only keep reads that mapped directly to the reference genome, losing some good reads from my genome of interest? I was going along the lines of assembling contigs first and searching within them for matches to the reference.

Blasting contigs against reference database
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, couldn't find a satisfactory answer easily....
The problem: I have hi-seq 2500 PE reads from a microbial culture that contain ONE cyanobacterial genome of interest and several contaminating genomes. My understanding is that by blasting against a local reference database containing only cyanobacterial genomes, I could bin my contigs by those which contain any cyanobacterial genes and those which do not.
Further analysis of G-C content and tetranucleotide frequencies could then be used to eliminate chimeric contigs, leaving me with a draft genome.
Could anybody point me in the direction of resources to help me write a BLAST algorithm do perform this task, maybe using BioPython (I have just started learning python)? I don't need long stretches of sequence to align, just the presence of a single gene with a good match in a whole contig would be enough to put it in the 'keep' pile.
I'm new to bioinformatics and essentially teaching myself so any pointers much appreciated...
Cheers
Nathan

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...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
