Dear all,
I've performed a denovo transcriptome assembly of a non-model plants on trimmed and almost high quality illumina reads. I used Trapid tool to fast evaluation of assembled transcriptome, this tool reported high percentage of transcript with putative frameshift that is not desired. Could you please let me know why there is many transcript with putative frameshift in the transcriptome based on Trapid prediction, and how I can solve this problem? Thanks for your points and tips.
I suggest this might be an artifact, it is just difficult to exactly say why. One source might be the transcriptome assembly, which tool and parameters were used? Whatever you used, try a different assembly in addition. Another option is the predictions are bogus. Take some of those predicted frameshift containing transcripts and BlastX. Does the result show frameshifts as well: multiple HSPs in different frames for the best hits?
Thanks. I used CLC software for assembly of about 300 million PE reads. The high-quality assembly, in terms of N50 (1270bp), contig number and percentage of mapped back read (89%) was obtained in K-mer 64. However, Trapid tool detected many (about 60%) transcript with putative framshifts. I'm really concern about this results. Could you please share me other tools to detect putative framshifts?
I remember there was a similar post where we concluded that there was no evidence for a frame shift from blastx, correct? I think then we can regard this as resolved?
Hi Michael, yeah and you kindly suggested me check the frame shift using blastx and
You was supposed to share a script to evaluate the above parameters from blastx, could you please put it here? Thanks in advance
I'll attach the script to the other question: Tool to detecte transcript with putative framshifts in the de novo assembled transcriptome
