  • aligning .sra files in colorspace with fasta reference genome

    Hello
    I am currently doing an intership in bioinformatics and I am looking for a good pipeline to process abi SOLiD data coming from the NCBI sra-data repository.
    The eventual goal is to perform peakcalling on an alignment coming from a colorspace fastq and a plain fasta reference genome.

    I'm having trouble finding a good (working) tool to align the colorspace fastq and the fasta genome. Does anyone have any tips?

    I already know it's not a good idea to convert colorspace to basespace, so I'm looking for alternatives. Bowtie and BWA don't seem to work for me...

    much thanks!

    I seem to remember that BFAST was specifically written for colorspace data.

      Thx! I'm looking into BFast, but it seems to have problems with indexing my fasta genome.

      "In function "BfastIndexValidateInputs": Fatal Error[IllegalFileName]. Variable/Value: mask."

      I'm sure though that my fasta file is in order, the fasta2bgr module of BFast doens't throw this error..

        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...

        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...
