This comment will serve as my notes for the article:
Methods
-Raw RNA-seq reads were pre-processed using trimmomatic with default parameters
-RNA-Seq read quality was assessed using FastQC and aggregated using MultiQC
-Trinity was used for de novo transcriptome assembly and validation was done using BUSCO
-They used HISAT2 to map reads to respective references
-Used TransDecoder with default setting to predict coding regions, they selected the best open reading frame per transcript longer than 100 peptides
-Used CD-HIT-EST with default params to reduce redundancy and produce unique genes
-Used BLAST to assign function annotations to the unique genes
-BLASTx program was used to annotate genes based on UniProtKB, which is a manually annotated, non-redundant protein sequence db.
How can we use this on Tomatoes
-Could go back and try validating our assemblies with BUSCO
-Try running TransDecoder on our contigs to predict coding regions, perhaps after finding the best long hits from BLAT
-Use CD-HIT to find our unique genes
-Use BLASTx to annotate our genes
