Pseudomonas vancouverensis as a platform for one-carbon (C1) assimilation and polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulation
From the author
"We used SeqHub (Gaia back then) to look through the genome of the P. vancouverensis strain we work with for potential C1-assimilation genes that the Prokka pipeline might have missed. Being able to upload a full genome, rather than BLASTing individual protein sequences was very useful in this regard. SeqHub did not show any of the usual suspects, pointing us towards that the strain is either piggy-bagging on enzyme promiscuity or that it has a set of unannotated/uncharacterized genes involved in C1-assimilation. We are using SeqHub a lot in the group, since some of the bugs we are working with are either uncharacterized or different from E. coli, so it is nice to have a tool at hand that allows us to predict protein function and compare gene clusters in a fast and intuitive way."
