- Perform a homology search with COG, which is an ortholog database, on the genomic base sequence for which CDS has been identified, and automatically post the COG function classification code. As a result, each CDS can be displayed in color classification on the feature map.

Implemented Edition
Preparation
- COG database myva
- Genomic sequence file: for example Bsub 50 kb.gbk
- Although it can be executed with any genomic sequence, the eukaryotic genome sequence is not suitable as the COG database does not contain prokaryotic species other than yeast.
- The sample sequence is taken from a partial region of B. subtilis, but if it is executed in the whole genome, processing time may be required.
Operation
- Download the COG database.
- It can be downloaded from NCBI or from our site download menu.
- Register the COG database.
- Use the DB registration function for batch homology search.
- Select "File" -> "Create Blast DB" in Menu. Alternatively, click Create Blast DB in the toolbox.
- Detailed information on "Create Blast DB" function
- Load genome sequence.
- The sample genomic sequence is generated in the "Users / Documents / sample" folder during IMC installation.
- Or you can download from our download menu.
- Execute ORF Extraction.
- Select "Genome Analysis" -> "ORF" -> "ORF Extraction ..." from the menu.

- Perform amino acid translation, convert each ORF candidate to CDS, and at the same time perform that amino acid translation.
- Select "Genome Analysis" -> "ORF" -> "Translation" from the menu.

- The Translation Run dialog is displayed.

- If no amino acid sequence is registered in each CDS, the search will be "No Hit".
- This process is unnecessary if the amino acid sequence has already been registered in each CDS.
- Each ORF candidate is converted to CDS and amino acid translated using the specified Genetic Table.

- Detailed information on amino acid translation function of CDS
- Perform batch homology search.
- To target all CDSs on the genome, select "Genome Analysis" -> "Homology Search" -> "Homology Search for Selected Feature Key" in the Menu or click the Bat Homology Search button in the tool box.

- If you want to target all CDSs in a specified area on the genome, drag the area with the mouse and specify the area. Right-click on the selection area and select "Homology Search by
- Selected Feature" from the displayed pop-up menu.
- In the Batch Homology Search dialog that appears, select the COG database and click the Set button to start execution.
- Detailed information on Batch Homology Search function
- Classification code is displayed by Classification Code.
- Click the "Draw Feature in Classification Color" button on Toolbox.
