Thanks. Please bear with me as I am quite new to metaproteomics so I am very much a novice. If using the first approach, is there a way to combine the FASTA files produced for each genus search in to one file? Or how do you extract the desired sequences from the complete UniProt database? I apologise if these are obvious questions.
Creation of UniProt Pseudo-metagenome
Hi,
I have been using the complete bacterial UniProt/trEMBL database for metaproteomics. Now we have been able to carry out 16S-rRNA sequencing on our samples, giving an exact idea of which species are in there. My question is, how does one select and combine sequences from UniProt? Is there any way of searching for all the sequences within a particular genus and then combining the results? I would like to create a pseudo-metagenome based on the 16s data.

You could download fasta format sequence files from the web search interface. Example query for Citrobacter. Click on Download (make sure download all is selected) and then save fasta file.
Alternatively you could download the entire uniprot data and extract sequences you need from it.
Alternatively, you can build an advanced query using the boolean operator "or", e.g.
taxonomy:"Enterococcus [1350]" OR taxonomy:"Citrobacter [544]"

All sequences for a genus or specific genes?
All sequences for a genus. On UniProt I am able to select all sequences for ONE genus, but I want to combine all the sequences from the different genera flagged up by 16s. So, for instance, combining all Citrobacter sequences in a database with all Enterococcus sequences, etc etc
