Transcriptome annotation
Thiago Mafra Batista, Rafael Rodrigues Ferrari
Abstract
This protocol provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for students and researchers to annotate transcriptomes. In this tutorial, we will follow the Trinity -> TransDecoder -> Trinotate pipeline, using the SwissProt and Pfam databases for functional annotation of protein-coding transcripts.
Steps
FINDIG CODING REGIONS WITHIN TRANSCRIPTS
TransDecoder (http://github.com/TransDecoder/TransDecoder/wiki)****)
Extracting the long open reading frames (ORFs)
Prepare a .pbs file to run the analysis remotely on Sagarana
/home/fafinha/bin/TransDecoder-TransDecoder-v5.5.0/TransDecoder.LongOrfs -t /home/fafinha/collaris/Trinity_run/assembly/Trinity.fasta
```***Including homology searches as ORF retention criteria***
**BlastP search**
*Prepare a .pbs file to run the analysis remotely on Sagarana*
blastp -query /home/fafinha/collaris/TransDecoder_run/2_homology_searches/blastp/Trinity.fasta.transdecoder_dir/longest_orfs.pep
-db /home/fafinha/collaris/TransDecoder_run/uniprot_sprot.fasta -max_target_seqs 1 -outfmt 6 -evalue 1e-5 -num_threads 64
-out /home/fafinha/collaris/TransDecoder_run/2_homology_searches/blastp/blastp_output.fmt6
*Download the Pfam database (Pfam-A.hmm)*
$wget [ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/Pfam/current_release/Pfam-A.hmm.gz](ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/Pfam/current_release/Pfam-A.hmm.gz)
*Decompress the file
$gzip -d Pfam-A.hmm.gz
*Index the database*
