    Identifying a draft genome

    Hi everyone,
    I have a draft genome which was binned from a bacterial metagenome. I know for certain that the genome doesn't have a 16s gene in it, but should be fairly complete with 42 single copy bacterial genes present. I wish to identify the taxonomy of this genome. By BLASTing several ORFs in the genome against NCBI's nr database I have a reasonable idea to which taxon it belongs, but when running MAUVE to align my binned genome and a draft genome from NCBI I don't get a nicely re-ordered genome, only a mess...
    so my question has two parts:
    1. Is there an online tool to which I can upload my draft genome and it will run it again its database to produce similarity values to known genomes ?
    2. Which other tools would you recommend in order to asses the completeness of the genome ?

    Thanks!

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
