  • Align to fasta

    Hi,

    i have a question that might be silly...
    I need to find in a sequence in fasta format the coordinates corresponding to the reference sequence one.
    The normal way to solve this would be aligning the new sequence to the reference one, but I don't know how to do that because they are both simple fasta files.

    Someone has some suggestion?

    Thanks in advance!


    Detailed info:
    I downloaded a virus reference sequence from ncbi and used it to align some bam files and call snps. I now have the list of the snps coordinates, and I would like to add to my data set another sequence from the same virus downloaded from NCBI. My problem is that the coordinates that the new fasta file I have are relative to the number of base in the sequence itself. I would need coordinates relative to the reference sequence, in order to check which bases the new sequence has in the snps coorrdinates.

    I am working on a Mac OSX Snow Leopard, but I have access to a new Linux OS if needed.

    Use "blat".

    You can get the source from here: http://users.soe.ucsc.edu/~kent/src/ I assume you are an academic user.

    Documentation here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/blatSpec.html

    The "dabatase" and "query" can be two fasta files.

      If you are comfortable with any of the common short-read aligners you can also use them, after making the corresponding index using your reference sequence. For example, using bowtie2

      #Build index
      bowtie-build myRefSeq.fasta myRef

      #Align fasta file input.fasta to the reference
      bowtie -t myRef input.fasta output.sam

      The output will be in the file "output.sam" in SAM format

        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...
