Hi all, I'm trying to figure out a good pipeline for a de novo metatranscriptomics project on soil and rhizosphere samples. I'm looking into the Khmer protocols which use Trinity, but I wonder if there are other good pipelines or scripts around for this purpose. Any advice is welcome !

de novo metatranscriptomics
Nobody willing to share advice on this subject?Originally posted by stevebaeyen View Post -
Hi, I just found a list of tools on this webpage (http://www.metagenomics.wiki/pdf/def...ranscriptomics). Personally I only used Kraken so far, but actually Kraken only assigns taxonomic units to reads and not functional or genexpression stuff like rpkm. But maybe one of the other tools might be of some interest.
Kallisto - RNA-seq transcript abundance estimation
Kraken - assigns taxonomic labels to short sequencing reads
HUMAnN2 - community-wide gene transcription and pathway analysis
requires pairs of DNA and RNA sequencing of the same biological sample
PanPhlAn - strain-specific transcriptomics analysis
requires pairs of DNA and RNA sequencing of the same biological sample
Maybe it could also be worth to have a look at MetaTrans, MEGAN,COMAN or SAMSA.Comment

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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.

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.
