Load Tair Gene Ids from Biomart

Load Sequences and Annotation from a list of identifiers

OmicsBox/Blast2GO offers two different features to retrieve the gene/protein sequences as well as the corresponding annotation from a list of identifiers within Blast2GO PRO. Both features can be found under File > Load > Load Annotations. The expected input file is a text file with the identifiers in a single column without a header.

Load FASTA sequences from Reference and GFF file

Sometimes databases provide the whole genome and the GFF or GTF files but not the exon or CDS FASTA files.With OmicsBox/Blast2GO it is possible to load a Fasta sequences and to extract the exons or the CDS from the genome using the GFF file.

NGS Preprocessing and Quality Control: How-To with OmicsBox

Functional genomics attempts to describe the functions of genes and proteins by making use of data derived from genomic and transcriptomic experiments. Some bioinformatics tools, like OmicsBox, offer biologists to get from raw NGS data through all steps up to the generation of biological insights for a species without any previous genome resources. The bioinformatic process to perform a de

Gene expression profiling in fresh-water colonial green alga Volvox carteri

Blast2GO Supported Project. Researchers: Mrs.Soulmaz Ekhtari Teachers: Dr. Jafar Razeghi, Dr. Karim Hasanpur, and Dr. Arash Kianianmomeni Background and Project Overview: The evolutionary origin of some multicellular organisms has not yet been completely studied. A clear characteristic of complex multicellular organisms is germ-soma differentiation. The monophyletic group of volvocine contains multiple algae species ranging from unicellular species such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Expression Estimation at Transcript-Level

The Transcript-level Quantification feature of OmicsBox/Blast2GO allows quantifying the gene and isoform expression of RNA-seq datasets. This video shows step-by-step how to create a count table of aligned sequencing reads and explains in detail the different concepts of expression quantification at transcript level. The application is based on the RSEM software package, which assigns reads to the isoforms they came
