It opened fine for me just now.

Hi Adam and Debbie,

I did a very quick look at this yesterday. There are 32 phages in BD2, but only 13 had this particular gene call based on Phamerator data (and 3 of those, including Superstar are draft annotations). I only did a quick glance through them and didn't see a clear pattern on the overlap sizes that have been called, but I didn't really have a chance to look into them in detail.

Please continue to share your progress here. We are annotating the two other draft genomes at UNT right now.

Thanks,
Lee

Fred - my understanding is that each program determines how to label the different frames independently, so there is no "standard" for which is going to be -1, etc. You need to determine which aligns with which each time you compare the data from two different programs to make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

Congratulations on your retirement, David! It has been wonderful to have the opportunity to interact with you as the SEA has grown. Thank you for all you have done to help make this possible.

All the best,
Lee Hughes

Hi Steve,

If you can't get the DNAM workaround from Kristen to work for your class, I'm happy to share how we use PECAAN in our classes (slides and other resources). We use PECAAN first in our annotation classes.

Kathleen,

Did you ever get an answer to this question? We just got sequence back on a new BM and will be annotating it in the near future, so I am interested in what you found out.

If you haven't gotten an answer yet, it might be worth emailing Chris Shaffer for more information.

Thanks, Debbie. Good to know it's not just me, and thanks for the thoughts on a workaround.

I have been getting errors when trying to download some genomes from GenBank, but not all. I'm attaching an image of the error I received today trying to download Streptomyces phage Andris.

I'm not sure if this is part of the problem or not, but all the genomes that have given me this error have been more recent (I've verified that they are active in GenBank) and seemed to have an accession number starting with the letter "O".

Thanks, Debbie. I noticed all of our (UNT) more recent genomes that have a member of this Pham have used the "phosphatase" function so that makes the most sense given that we would need more evidence in order to call the more specific function.

Can I add a wrinkle to your question (I also have a phage that we are currently annotating that has a member of this Phamily)? In the Official Functions list it gives ClubL144 as the example for the 5'nucleotidase function but when I look it up on PhagesDB that gene has a function of "phosphatase" showing on the Pham page.
