hi all,
can someone kindly suggest me a useful tool for the functional analysis of protein data. the softwares like GO database VLad etc are providing functional analysis only for the geneome that are well annotated and are already in there database. can someone suggest me any good software that could classifies genes by their function using only IDs and fasta sequences (of protiens ) in different categories like which biological process, cell compartment etc..
thanks in anticipation
not sure what you mean by this "the softwares like GO database VLad etc are providing functional analysis only for the geneome that are well annotated" but to find gene functions you need well annotated references and yes mostly it are model organisms.
I mean to annotate your genome in these softwares you need to select the organism in the predefined list while my organism is not listed there hence i cannot use these softwares. im using KEGG database based BlastQUALA where i dont need any reference genome to assess functional annotation of my genes. I only need fasta format of the protein sequences and simply have to paste to get results.
looking some sort of similar software to get more comprehensive and comparative results.
Ah, like that. Good explanation. I think you will need to blast or something like that and dig trough the hits. Connection the id's of different databases to functionalities. Still think that eggnog, gene ontology and maybe Panther are the best options. I don't know if there is a tool that can do all the steps for you. You need to make a sort of a pipeline. Maybe you can let know if the answers are useful or not so other people can also help you.
