  • Script to make sequences equal length

    Hi!
    I would like to perform a motif analysis with my ChIP-Seq data on meme-suite.
    The program requires me to put in sequences of equal length.
    I have the nucleotide sequences from the regions where our protein of interest bound to in ChIP-Seq. These regions are of varying length.
    I would like to make them of equal length by figuring out the sequence of greatest length and adding 'N's to both ends of the remaining sequences.
    Anyone done this/has a R script?
    Many thanks for your feedback in advance!

    This does not "add to both ends", I think I need a little more information to do that.

    Here's a solution that appends "N"s.
    It's not R, it's an awk "one liner" (a long one liner) :

    cat yourseqfile | awk '{ a[count++] = $0; if (length($0)>l)l=length($0) } END { for (i=0; i<count; i++) { printf("%s",a[i]); for (j=length(a[i]); j<l; j++) printf "N"; printf("\n"); } }'

    example:
    bash-3.2$ cat yourseqfile
    START

    A
    ACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGT
    ACGTACGTACGTAC
    ACGT
    DONE

    bash-3.2$ cat yourseqfile | awk '{ a[count++] = $0; if (length($0)>l)l=length($0) } END { for (i=0; i<count; i++) { printf("%s",a[i]); for (j=length(a[i]); j<l; j++) printf "N"; printf("\n"); } }'

    NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
