Finding the proper reference sequence is one of my biggest headaches. But then our facility deals with off-beat genomes.
Nils is correct that NCBI is a good bet to get your reference. But often the species specific web sites often have a more up-to-date reference than NCBI. Additionally different groups will annotate the same species in different ways. Thus there can be multiple web sites out there producing varying references.
I have now gotten to the point where I insist that the researcher (for who I am working) give me the *exact* web page where I can download their reference. None of the "oh, just assembly 4 of my desired species."

You should be able to find a reference genome for your species of interest at the NCBI website.Originally posted by donniemarco View PostLeave a comment:

454 assembling against reference genome
Hi,
Can anyone please let me know from where I can download "Reference Sequence" that I can run against BLAT. I came across this term quite too frequently but I am unsure which file might be the correct.
Regards!!

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
