  • existing tool to extract sequence ranges from multifasta file

    I can't believe there's been no solution for this problem in 2016, but I seem to be incapable to find it.

    Does anyone of you know some tool that is able to extract multiple sequence ranges from a regular multifasta file based on sequence accession and range?

    For example, given a file with three accessions like

    >scaf_1315 dna:supercontig supercontig:GCA_000156735.1:scaf_1315:1:42565:1
    >scaf_1316 dna:supercontig supercontig:GCA_000156735.1:scaf_1316:1:70442:1
    >scaf_1311 dna:supercontig supercontig:GCA_000156735.1:scaf_1311:1:1389502:1


    I'd like extract range 500-600 from scaf_1315, 2000-4500 from scaf_1316 and nothing from scaf_1311.

    I'd love to find something stable and as easy to use like seqret or extractseq from the EMBOSS packages, but either I have to split the input fasta into one sequence per file (extractseq) or I get the same range from all accessions (seqret) and have to filter the output again.

    I'm perfectly able to code something like this in a custom script (this is what I'll do now anyway), but I feel like I missing something as obvious as an EMBOSS package.

    You don't need to code this yourself. Use samtools faidx or pyfaidx.

      @GenoMax, awesome thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for, despite using samtools frequently for anything sam/bam related, I completely ignored its fasta options.
      EDIT: the bioperl solution in the same quoted thread proofed to be even easier for me in this particular case

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
