  • GO analysis for non-mainstream species (using Panther annotation)

    Hello,

    I am sure this question has been asked many times, but so far I couldn't find a satisfactory answer to my question, so I am trying it here...

    Most of the tools available use background frequencies derived from specific organisms (i.e. it is not possible to input the background frequencies of my organism). It is a real problem because I want to input annotated data derived from a de-novo transcriptome assembly, which is quite redundant (I have many variants of the same transcript).

    Here is the approach I would like to follow, if anyone has a better suggestion of did it already, I would be extremely glad if they could comment:

    1. Annotation of my in-silico derived protein set using PantherDB with pantherScore2.1.pl, which will constitute my background

    2. Retrieve GO terms using the PANTHER HMM annotation files (which contain GO annotation for panther (sub)families

    3. Perform a GO gene set analysis using a tool that takes into account the GO hierarchy, such as the GO::TermFinder perl module. http://search.cpan.org/dist/GO-TermF.../TermFinder.pm

    Alternatives:
    - I know that I can perform GO analyses on the Panther website, but I would like to perform them locally (I have hundreds of groups to test), if someone did it already I will persevere.
    - For #3: if there is a R package to do that, even better.
    - Is there a simple way in GO::TermFinder to input background frequencies?

    If you have any suggestion, feel free to comment, and as I know that we are many struggling with the same topic, I will follow up here when I get significant advances on my side.

    Thanks !

    Hi Yvan,

    I can recommend topGO (http://bioconductor.org/packages/rel...tml/topGO.html) as an R package that will do GO enrichment for you on a non-model organism. You basically just provide the GO background for your organism, then a list of DE genes, and it will calculate the enriched terms. It has a few different options for the statistical tests.

    Best,

    Matt.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
