can we import direct isoform to cDNA blastn alignment results #49

Could blastn be added as source or is the relational system aminoacid coordinate based and refusing cDNA coordinate information?

It may be useful since my data is from ONT and probably a lot of ORFs are broken by indels and sequencing errors. Additionally, I can not easily error correct the 85000 transcripts I have as it would take ages. I expect that the cDNA to cDNA alignments will span longer distances. Can I fake the LOAD_custom_blast import as a blastp or blastx or will this lead to corruption? thanks for your feedback and ideas

hi,

most of trinotate revolves around protein homologies, and most users won't have input sequences that will allow for sufficient homology detection based on blastn. You don't need to perform searches based on transdecoder proteins, though. It does support blastx searches with input transcripts.

Thanks Brian, indeed I did not realize that the blastx was doing the job already. Best
