  • What genes it does or doesn’t have that may influence its suitability for use as a probiotic?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on a project - Analysis of the genome of a probiotic bacterium to support commercial development. I need help determining if the gene classes may be beneficial or detrimental to the strains used as a probiotic.

    For the overview of the project, I received 2 short read sequences (Illumina) and 1 long read sequence (Nanopore) and need to see how to get the best assembly using the data, either long and short together or just short, just long. After that, I did the Unicycler assembly and then ran a tool (Kraken2) to identify its bacteria name which is Pediococcus pentosaceus SL4. I also ran it with RAST to annotate my assembly and had a result https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

    So my problem is how I could look at this RAST result to determine what genes P. pentosaceus does or doesn’t have that may influence its suitability for use as a probiotic. If there are more online tools to analyze it, can you be specific about what should I run?

    Feel free to leave a comment, I really need help.

    Thanks.

    P/s: to clarify which tools ara used, they are from Galaxy Platforms (https://usegalaxy.org.au/)

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
