Every SequenceServer BLAST analysis now *also* identifies protein domains (thanks alignment with NCBI's Conserved Domain Database). 🥳🎉🎉

#transXpress simplifies the use of best-practice methods and up-to-date software for de novo #transcriptome assembly, and produces standardized output files that can be mined using SequenceServer to facilitate rapid discovery of new #genes... @UCSanDiego rna-seqblog.com/transxpress-…

transXpress - a Snakemake pipeline for streamlined de novo transcriptome assembly and annotation

RNA-seq followed by de novo transcriptome assembly has been a transformative technique in biological research of non-model organisms, but the computational processing of RNA-seq data entails...

Sequenceserver is helping researchers produce sweeter #sugarcane! Zhao et al., investigate the #genetic mechanisms of sugar accumulation in sugarcane using transcriptomic analysis. An interesting application of Sequenceserver in #cropscience! #Genomics 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.jare.2023.…

With GALBA we are hitting >95% BUSCO proteins in the predicted proteome from #nanopore assemblies. Higher GeneValidator scores (ref: SwissProt) as well compared to my previous annotation stack.

New publication alert from the @WurmLab 📢 We used a bioinformatic approach to show that larger ant colonies have higher viral loads 🐜🦠 @Mol_Ecol @yannick__ @neon_insects @IUSSI_NWES onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Larger, more connected societies of ants have a higher prevalence of viruses

Larger, more connected societies of ants have a higher prevalence of viruses

The benefits of cooperative living for foraging, nesting, defence and buffering environmental challenges lead animals with the most highly social lifestyles to dominate many ecosystems. However,...

Please don’t waste your vote. #VoteTactically to keep out a racist, bigoted, far-right Conservative party that will lead to more inequality, more children in poverty, more homelessness, and further undermine the nhs and other vital public services.
