Single Cell Clustering Seurat

Single Cell Clustering With Seurat in OmicsBox

Introduction Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a technology that aims to study the expression profiles of individual cells, in contrast with the typical bulk RNA sequencing that analyses the expression of large populations of cells together. scRNA-seq allows the identification of different cell types within the same sample, so it is possible to study tissues with more detail. One of

Combined Pathway Analysis with OmicsBox

Introduction A pathway analysis is an important step in the final biological interpretation of experimental results in most omics studies. For non-model species however this often becomes a difficult endeavor due to the lack of functional information. The Combined Pathway Analysis tool allows to identify pathways from multiple pathway databases for any set of sequences. In combination with differential expression

InterProScan with Blast2GO: How to make it work again

Activate development on Blast2GO was discontinued in 2018. All its functionality and more new features are now part of OmicsBox. Because Blast2GO is no longer updated, some of its functions may have stopped working because web services have changed or security certificates have expired, among other things. It is highly recommended to use OmicsBox instead of Blast2GO to benefit from

Cloud Blast and Cloud Units: How to use resources wisely

This article describes how to run CloudBlast wisely. OmicsBox allows you to perform NCBI Blast searches using a cloud system for high-performance computing. This system runs jobs in parallel and autoscales depending on demand. To control usage we use so-called CloudUnits. These units represent computation time (cpu seconds) on the AWS infrastructure. At the moment only Blast and InterProScan consume

How to run Blast of the differential expressed genes?

It is possible to run Blast only on the differential expressed genes and not on all the data with OmicsBox. One has to select only those sequences that have differential expressed genes in the OmicsBox project.First,  make sure that the name of the sequences in the project match the ones from the differential expression results.

how to cite omicsbox

How to cite OmicsBox, Blast2GO and all available features

OmicsBox should be cited as follows: OmicsBox – Bioinformatics Made Easy, BioBam Bioinformatics, March 3, 2019, https://www.biobam.com/omicsbox In case you run functional annotation pipeline on your data (Mapping and Annotation), then the citation is as it used to be, Blast2GO.This is for the Blast2GO methodology: Götz S., Garcia-Gomez JM., Terol J., Williams TD., Nagaraj SH., Nueda MJ., Robles M., Talon

Multilocus Sequence Typing MLST Analysis Tool

The Multilocus Sequence Typing Analysis Tool of OmicsBox (MLST) is a nucleotide sequence-based approach of characterizing isolates of bacterial species using the sequences of internal fragments of seven housekeeping genes. This video shows step-by-step how to analyze bacterial sequences with the MLST App in OmicsBox. As input, users can provide either DNA-Seq reads in FASTQ or contigs/scaffolds in FASTA format.
