Re: closing gaps without PCR
> I assume you have to remove the DBIA read into its own contig to be able to close any gaps. Is this correct? Yes. Once you have removed the assembly piece (i.e. the DBIA read) from the assembly, I would recommend deleting the read from the assembly by selecting "Remove Reads" from the Consed Main ...

Changes to the GEP Web Framework - Fall 2015
Hello Everyone, We have reset the GEP Web Framework for the 2015 Fall semester. The list of key changes are summarized below: 1. Annotation projects for Fall 2015 60 new annotation projects from the D. elegans Muller D element 11 annotation projects remaining from Spring 2015 (see below) 2. New tran...

Re: modENCODE RNA-Seq data
I am unaware of an existing list from modENCODE that shows the isoform expression levels of each D. melanogaster gene. I believe that all of the RNA-Seq information on FlyBase are summarized at the gene level (see the FlyBase RNA-Seq Release Notes ). You can download the RPKM values for all the D. m...

modENCODE RNA-Seq data
Question from Dr. Jamie Sanford, Ohio Northern University I am doing some basic gene expression analysis on my gene of interest. Specifically, we are trying to determine which of the gene's isoforms are expressed in fly ovary. Is there a way to easily use the modENCODE data to find out isoform spec...

Re: Annotation of UTRs?
The TSS annotations are optional for both the D. elegans and D. biarmipes projects. The current TSS annotation protocol recommends that your students should try to annotate the initial transcribed exon before trying to annotate the TSS. However, your students do not need to annotate all of the untra...

Re: Not all of the gene in the contig?
One approach that you can use to support the hypothesis that the project region only contains part of a gene is to show that the best match to the other coding exons (CDS) are located in the adjacent contigs. Because D. elegans is closely related to D. melanogaster , you can typically perform a BLAT...

Re: final comment tag location?
Please add the comment tag at the left end of the region analyzed by the student. For the hybrid assembly projects, this will usually correspond to the first base of the consensus sequence.

Re: Polymorphisms?
As you have mentioned, unaligned high quality regions will frequently appear within genomic repeats in the hybrid assembly projects. In some cases, you can select " Tell phrap to not overlap reads at this location " at the discrepant positions and then perform a Miniassembly to create two separate c...

Re: unconventional start codons
As you have mentioned, the FlyBase comments for the Wnk gene models indicate that this gene uses a non-canonical start codon (AUU). The comment also indicates that this non-canonical start codon is conserved in other Drosophila species. alternate_start_codon_comment.png Examination of the "Conservat...

Re: MNR in High quality discrepancy regions
This type of discrepancies typically appears after you have removed reads (or did a tear and join) from a region. In some cases, Consed did not recalculate the consensus correctly and it uses a much lower quality read in the region as the consensus. These regions would need to be resolved prior to p...

Re: inserting bases into the consensus?
One way you can insert a new base into the consensus is by inserting the base into one of the reads aligned to the position of interests and then change the consensus. Basically, you can open one of the traces and then select the base just after where you want to add a base in the "edt" line. Press ...

Re: Discrepancies for some isoforms
The available evidence suggests that the initial CDS of the E and F isoforms of the M6 gene (CDS 2_7735_0) might not exist in D. biarmipes . However, based on parsimony (i.e. minimize the number of changes compared to D. melanogaster ), I would annotate the CDS 2_7735_0 in D. biarmipes based on the ...

Unfortunately, we do not have any external evidence (e.g., restriction digests, long high quality reads) that would convince a reviewer that the edits that we have made to the assembli...
