  • Software for mapping translated nucleotide sequences to a local reference database

    Hello All,
    I am wondering if anyone knows of a program for mapping translated nucleotide sequences to a reference protein database? I have between 300k and 1 million nucleotide sequences per sample (so 1.8 to 6 million translated sequences) that I would like to map against a viral protein refseq database I downloaded from NCBI. I am currently using CLC genomics workbench for analyzing my nexgen data and can map the trimmed nucleotide sequences to the reference viral nucleotide database from NCBI. However, since I am doing virus discovery work, I would also like to map protein to protein as well. By the way, we can BLAST all our sequences, but the mapping is a quick way (at least at the nucleotide to nucleotide level) to look for obvious similarities between our output and reference sequences. Thanks!

      Richard,

      Thanks for the suggestion. Looking at the BLAT website, it is written that mapping is limited to 80% identity for proteins. Is this true in practice? For our work, the desire to map proteins is motivated by the possible presence of sequences that show much greater divergence from references (say 30 to 70% identity to reference sequences). Any thought are appreciated! Thanks,

      -Sam

        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...
