    Evaluating RAST annotation

    Hi everyone,
    I'm doing an annotation using RAST in a non-ordered contigs genome and I'm having trouble to determine if the annotation was done properly or not, because the reference genomes avaible are not that close to my microorganism... so I have almost half of my CDS not agrouped in subsystems, and also, I can't tell how bad it is.
    How can I evaluate the quality of the annotation? How can I decide if a CD is properly annotated or not?
    Can anyone help me, please ?

    I did something like this recently and about 40% of genes did not get a COG assignment. One way to evaluate the quality would be to check for a list of core housekeeping genes to make sure they are present and correctly annotated.

      Thank you Cliffbeall! That's what I did... the ones that interests me are there and well annotated... I think I'll move on like that...
      thanks again!

        Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
        by SEQadmin2


        Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
