Protein sequence abundance #13
Comments
Yes I would love to have this as well. 👍 It is hard to set rules what alignments should be part of the abundance computation since plass allows to assemble similar proteins and not just exact once. We estimated the abundance in the plass publication using the |
Wouldn't it possible to use an EM algorithm to "distribute" the read among its multiple hits? |
@apcamargo yes this a good idea. But do you know if EM would be fast enough to handle this large amount of data? |
I don't know. It would depend on the total amount of proteins and reads. I imagine it would be much slower than a typical RNA-Seq quantification, but not unfeasible. But that's just my impression, I've never done something like that. |
I was just thinking about this as well...are there any current plans to include this in plass, or would it be better for now to try the |
Hi there,
I've just started using PLASS, specifically
plass assemble
, and I really like it!This isn't an issue but a potential enhancement. I was wondering how I might be able to recover abundance information for each protein assembled. Its not as simple as with nucleotide contigs since I'm unable to align the reads back to the assembly in this case.
Could the abundance of proteins be included in the header, as SPAdes does? Alternatively, a table mapping header to its respective abundance would be convenient as well. I hope I haven't misinterpreted the output and its already provided :)
Thanks!
Connor
