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

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

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...
