Contigs to gene

Hi,

I wanted to know How can I get individual complete gene sequences from metagenomics assembled contigs. I have done following steps:

  1. metagenomics assembly of a sample using Ray-Meta.
  2. ORF prediction doen on all contigs
  3. Predicted ORF has used for BLASTX
  4. Protein Functional and Organism annotation based top blastx hits. Now I want to get the gene sequences of top hits. For example, I am interested to get a gene sequence corresponding to amylase of Vibrio neptunius, which is the top hit of BLASTX.

Since I have done BLASTX, using the genebank ID I can get the genepept info, see the link below , but not able to get the gene sequence. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/WP_045977982

Please answer me if any have some ideas.

Thanks, Aswathi
