Yes I did look at Xu, Hendrix and Duda - I don't see any of the slippery sequences they identify in these phages (at least in the region where I expect frameshift to occur). So I am still perplexed but isn't that the pleasure of phage annotation? :-) Veronique |

I'm looking at the tail assembly chaperones of a Gordonia CZ1 phage, Eviarto. Four other CZ1 phages have been annotated but I don't see why the frameshift was called the way it was. Two issues: 1) the frameshift in Nymphadora gp 14 and 15 was called at a different place from that in BatStarr, Kita, and Zirinka (see attached document). 2) the sequences were the frameshift is called don't look slippery to me (in Nymphadora (AAGCG; in others CAGGC) and don't look like the ones identified in Xu et al. What am I missing? I do see a region - CCCGAAA - just before the "called" frameshift for Nymphadora that looks slippery to me (starting at bp 9880 in Eviarto)… Any advice? |

First, sharing/repeating instructions from Welkin "We have been reviewing our functional assignments for the head-to-tail connector proteins due to some feedback we've received from a reviewer. We've decided to proceed in two ways: 1) We will not use the functional assignment "head-to-tail connector" anymore. Instead we will be switching to "head-to-tail connector complex protein". 2) Only genes that have HHPred alignments to crystal structures (so must be a PDB hit) to a known connector complex protein can be assigned this function. This includes phage SPP1 genes 15 and 16; phage HK97 gene 6, and Bacillus protein yqbG." So, I'm looking at Gordonia phage Eviarto (CZ1), I've got HHPred alignments with PDB support for genes 8 and 9, but not PDB support for gene 10. However, that gene has nice matches to minor capsid protein. So, call minor capsid? |

I have a student who cannot update DNAMaster on her Mac. Every time she updates and reopens, the update has not "taken". Any suggestions? Thx |

Unless I missed it, there is no Gordonia terrae in GeneMark list but there is a Gordonia species. Have people used the GeneMark output trained on this Gordonia species? Is it better to use the heuristic GeneMark only or both outputs? Cheers, Veronique |

Evan MerkhoferVeronique Delesalle After you updated, did you change the Gene Prediction and Secure Connection "preferences"? See the DNAMaster_Update document of September 2017. Veronique |

Figure it out! Completely forgot to update before doing auto-annotation! What a dunce! But if somebody does have a document with things to know about running DNAMaster on a mac, I still would love that. :-) |

Hi all I just downloaded DNAMaster from the Baylor site (https://baylor.app.box.com/v/DNAMasterMac) using the version from 2017.5.23 I have been able to upload a sequence but when I do an auto-annotation (no blasting) nothing appears in the features? Any advice? And has somebody compiled a document on issues and things to know about running DNAMaster on a mac and is willing to share? Thanks and happy annotating in 2018! Veronique |

So, I should have better phrased my question. Do we want the prob of a CCM to be greater than 0 or greater than as certain value? If so, what is that threshold? prob of 0.2 or 0.5? |

The Lysin A in Gordonia phage is encoded by two genes, representing two domains. In Gordonia phage Adgers, these two genes correspond to N-acetyl-BetaD-muramidase domain (pfam 01510) and to a peptidase domain (pfam 01551). In Gordonia phage SuperSulley, the two Lysin A genes are ORF 49 (start 37820) and ORF 50 (start 38485) and respectively correspond to a peptidase domain (pfam 13529) and to a glycoside hydrolase (cd00325). See Payne and Hatfull (2012 PlosOne - Mycobactteriophage Endolysins…. pfam 13529 is not listed in Table 1! |
