RAST – Web tool (upload contigs), uses the subsystems in the SEED database and provides detailed annotation and pathway analysis. Takes several hours per genome but I think this is the best way to get a high quality annotation...
Suppose we wanted to do something with all this BLAST output. Generally, that’s the case - you want to retrieve all matches, or do a reciprocal BLAST, or something.
As with most programs that run on UNIX, the text output is in some specific...
There are other popular measures of edit distance, which are calculated using a different set of allowable edit operations. For instance,
the Damerau–Levenshtein distance allows insertion, deletion, substitution, and...
RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) has a wide variety of applications, but no single analysis pipeline can be used in all cases. We review all of the major steps in RNA-seq data analysis, including experimental design, quality control, read alignment,...
A major breakthrough (replaced microarrays) in the late 00’s and has been widely used since
Measures the average expression level for each gene across a large population of input cells
Useful for comparative transcriptomics,...
When you have both Illumina and Nanopore data, then SPAdes remains a good option for hybrid assembly - SPAdes was used to produce the B fragilis assembly by Mick Watson’s group.
Again, running spades.py will show you the...

analog -- A feature that appears similar in two taxa which have originated from two different ancestors.
ancestor -- Any organism, population, or species from which some other organism, population, or species is descended by...
It is often necessary to import sample textbook data into R before you start working on your homework.
Excel File
Quite frequently, the sample data is in Excel format, and needs to be imported into R prior to use. For this, we can...
