Identifying paralogs for a whole genome
I have an e. coli genome and I want to know which genes are paralogs so I can investigate how RNA-seq reads are mapping to multiple positions. What I would like to do is get a full list of paralogs within my e.coli genome. I could blast the genome against itself and write some scripts to sort and select potential paralogs, but it seems like a problem that many people have likely encountered in the past and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. Is there a tool out there that can do this sort of thing already? Thanks very much!

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
