Some questions for building database #5

Open yanyew opened 1 year ago

yanyew commented 1 year ago

Thank you for developing the excellent iTAK software! After using it, I have some questions that I would like to ask for your guidance:

(1) The reference database used by iTAK has not been updated for a long time. If I want to manually update the database, how can I do it?

(2) If it is possible to construct the database by myself, can I use the data from animalTFDB to build another reference database and make iTAK suitable for identifying transcription factors in animals?

Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!

I also have the same problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. In the next version, I will add the function that users can build and update the database and rules by themselves. Maybe next month.

I just released a new version, and a new feature is that you can define your own family for identification and classification. Currently, this function only supports comparing protein sequences with the Pfam database, or by creating self-created hmm files. If you are interested in using it, you can refer to the NBS-LRR files under the database/specific/ folder. This feature is still in the testing phase, and I haven't had time to write relevant documentation yet. If you are interested in extending iTAK to identify other family genes, please reply to the message or contact me via email. yz@moilab.net
