Is Repeat-Masking necessary in Blast2GO?

Mariana Monteiro July 24, 2017

Does RNA-seq-based Eukaryotic GeneFinding of Blast2GO require repeat-masking the whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequence? A case study in jute (Corchorus olitorius L., Malvaceae s. l.)

Blast2GO Supported Project. Researchers: Prof. Luis Delaye, CINVESTAV Irapuato, México Prof. Enrique Calderon, Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla, España Prof. Andrés Moya, I2SysBio, Universidad de Valencia, España Background and Project Overview: Fungi from the genus Pneumocystis parasites lungs of mammals. These fungi show extensive stenoxenism, meaning that each Pneumocystis specie parasites a single mammal species. In humans, Pneumocystis causes pneumonia

Oliveira, Gulbenkian Institute for Science (IGC), Oeiras, Portugal and Prof. Adelino V. M. Canário, CCMAR – Centre of Marine Sciences, University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal Background and Project Overview: The peacock blenny Salaria pavo (family Blenniidae) is a

Expression Quantification at Gene-Level

Carlos Menor April 7, 2017

The “Create Count Table” feature of OmicsBox/Blast2GO allows quantifying the gene expression of RNA-seq datasets. This video shows step-by-step how to create a count table of raw reads and explains in detail different concepts of expression quantification. The available parameters are inspired by the popular HTSeq Python Package. (reference below).

A basic evaluation of the Coding-Potential Assessment Tool

Carlos Menor March 27, 2017

RNA-seq technologies detect coding as well as multiple forms of noncoding RNA. RNA-seq can accurately measure gene and transcript abundance as well as identify known and novel features of a transcriptome. While the coding transcripts will lead to effector proteins, the non-coding transcripts are usually involved in the gene expression regulation and in the transcription and translation machinery. In this

White sequences in CloudBlast and CloudIPS

Mariana Monteiro March 16, 2017

CloudBlast and CloudIPS need Cloud Units to work.If all Cloud Units have been consumed CloudBlast and CloudIPS will stop. Consumption depends on what you are doing. The most costly (in terms of computation time) analysis is definitely to do a blastx against the whole NR with very long sequences. The smaller the database used the less Cloud Units are used. Use the taxonomy

Release Version 5

Stefan Götz March 16, 2017

Release Date: 13/01/2018) Just in time for the PAG Plant & Animal Genome Conference, we launched Blast2GO 5! This major release brings many new features. Most importantly, Blast2GO is now connected to the powerful BioBam Cloud, an AWS architecture which gives a big boost to many analysis steps. Details below. To upgrade from version 4 to 5 you have to

Coding Potential Assessment Tool

Mariana Monteiro March 15, 2017

This video shows how to use the ‘Coding-Potential Assessment Tool’ which allows distinguishing the coding transcripts from the non-coding transcripts. This can be achieved using prebuilt models or building a species-specific model from the NCBI database. The results of the coding potential can be cross-checked with the Blast results and may allow discovering some novel mRNA.
