How to define an outgroup to build a robust amino acid tree

I building a robust amino acid phylogeny with adequate robustness support (see previous post here). This is a brief summary of what I have done: I performed a BLASTp analysis using a protein sequence ...

How to make a robust amino acid phylogeny with adequate robustness support

This is the second part of this thread: Duplicated genes and genome fragmentation As @Michael G. suggested, I did a pseudo-annotation of sequences 5-2 and 5-3 (i.e., I joined both sequences into one)...

Duplicated genes and genome fragmentation [closed]

This is a follow up question to this post: How can I find out if my gene of interest is duplicated? Briefly, to identify homologous genes, I performed tBLASTn analyses against my genome of interest ...

How can I find out if my gene of interest is duplicated?

To identify homologous genes, I performed tBLASTn analyses against my genome of interest resulting in sequences of a closely related species. Using this method, I found two (and in some cases up to ...

How can I locate duplicated regions in a sequence?

I am facing an issue when trying to align short reads against a region in human chr5. The two Sensory Motor Neuron genes, (SMN1 and SMN2) are almost 100% identical and this causes the aligner to fail ...

How is PCR duplication rate computed in scATAC-seq?

Reading Cusanovich et al. (2015) I encountered the sentence: We mixed pairs of cell lines (HEK293T or HL-60 versus GM12878), performed combinatorial cellular indexing, and sequenced the resulting ...

Find paralogs in a draft genome

We generated a (diploid, chordata, highly heterozgous) genome using PacBio and we wanted to see whether it contains lineage-specific duplications (paralogs, basically). The genome is not in Ensembl ...
