Intro

A research paper published on biorxiv determined a new coronavirus subgenus, I would like to figure out is there any changes on protease. However, the sequence data has not been publish.

Fortunately, the similar sequence is do available on NCBI, unfortunately, only RNA-seq data is available.

So I need to assemble the RNA-seq reads first, and BLAST the sequence I need with the assembled data.

TL;DR

Setup the environment with conda:

BASH

conda create -n sra_env -y
conda activate sra_env
conda install -c bioconda -y sra-tools trinity transdecoder blast fastp fastqc

Fetch the data:

BASH

prefetch SRR11301086
fasterq-dump SRR11301086
mkdir -p analysis_results/SRR11301086/{raw_fastqc,clean_fastqc,fastp,trinity,transdecoder,blast_results}

Data quality check

BASH

fastqc  SRR11301086_1.fastq SRR11301086_2.fastq \
        -o analysis_results/SRR11301086/raw_fastqc \
        -t 28 \
        2>&1 | tee analysis_results
