Summary: PCPipe is a protein-clustering tool. The input is a set of ORFs and a FASTA file with already clustered ORFs. The process entails:Use cd-hit-2d to compare the input peptides to previously clustered proteinsThe result is a file with input proteins that clustered to existing clusters and those that did notUse the unclustered peptides and self-cluster them via cd-hitTake a representative sequence from each novel cluster, and use "blastp" to compare to SIMAP.Use the resulting SIMAP "feature_id" to look up the SIMAP features, merging the query results with the protein ID into a tab-delimited annotations fileProvide the user with two cluster files and the annotations for the new clusters based on the representative sequenceCode is freely available at Github.

Summary: Motivation: An important step of "metagenomics" analysis is the assembly of multiple genomes from mixed sequence reads of multiple species in a microbial community. Most conventional pipelines employ a single-genome assembler with carefully optimized parameters and post-process the resulting scaffolds to correct assembly errors. Limitations of the use of a single-genome assembler for de novo metagenome assembly are that highly conserved sequences shared between different species often causes chimera contigs, and sequences of highly abundant species are likely mis-identified as repeats in a single genome.Methods:We modified and extended a single-genome and de Bruijn-graph based assembler, Velvet, for de novo metagenome assembly. Our fundamental ideas are first decomposing de Bruijn graph constructed from mixed short reads into individual sub-graphs and second building scaffolds based on every decomposed de Bruijn sub-graph as isolate species genome.

Summary: Ultracentrifugation in the WX Ultra Series can support only 30 mL samples at a time, and therefore do not significantly concentrate viruses. Tangential flow filtration enables viral concentration of large volumes that can then be purified using sucrose density gradients. Contact Dr. Steven Wilhelm ([email protected]) or Samantha Coy ([email protected]) for additional information regarding this protocol.

Summary: This protocol is part of the VERVE holiday drive to collect exotic off-the-shelf laboratory recipes. More details here.Timing is everything when preparing a large meal. Unfortunately, for the truly epic holiday meals – like Thanksgiving – there never seems to be enough oven space to ensure everything arrives at the table steaming. Something has always cooled, collapsed, or coagulated before the turkey is ready to carve.This is where the autoclave comes in: It’s built to hold loads at around 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and since it subjects them to twice normal atmospheric pressure, it tends to cut cooking times in half. Autoclave cook-time for a small to mid-sized turkey should be less than 2 hours.Wanna impress the in-laws this year? Bring home your favorite tabletop food-grade autoclave (not your Priorclave, though; those are research-grade autoclaves!) and put it to use on the big day.
