Successful De Novo Transcriptome Sequence Assembly Using RNA-Seq Data

De novo transcriptome analysis involves assembling cDNA sequences together—without the aid of a reference sequence—and then analyzing the resulting transcriptome. This technique is frequently used to study non-model organisms but is also valuable for organisms whose genome is known. Whether you are experienced with transcriptome analysis or thinking about trying it for the first time, this guide highlights factors to keep in mind when using this approach.

Protein Structure Prediction with NovaFold AI and NovaFold AI-Multimer

Of hundreds of single-chain protein structure prediction algorithms that have been objectively tested, the undisputed champion is AlphaFold 2, an artificial-intelligence based algorithm developed by Google's DeepMind. An extension of the algorithm, called AlphaFold-Multimer, was released a year later and is optimized for predicting the structures of protein-protein complexes. This guide describes the steps involved in determining protein structures, the advantages and challenges of using open source AlphaFold 2 and AlphaFold-Multimer, and describes how NovaFold AI and NovaFold AI-Multimer provide an easier way to use these powerful algorithms.
