  • perfect alignment match

    Hi,

    I've a little problem with an alignment. I want to know to view the perfect alignment of a query to a database . Here's an example :

    query

    >query1
    ATGC

    subject :

    >seq1
    GATGC
    >seq2
    CGATGC
    >seq3
    ATGC

    When I use Blast, the three alignment have the same e-value and score, but the best alignment for me is with seq3 ( same size )

    is it a blast parameter to change ?

    or an another program to use

    Thanks,

    Nicolas

    it's strange isn't it ?

    nobody knows ?

      Blast is a local alignment tool, so it will only consider the aligned part, in you example the ATGC, which is the same in all 3 sequences. There are 4 perfect matches, giving the same score for all 3. The e value is calcuated from the length of the match and the score - also the same. At no point the length of the whole target sequence is taken into account. That means to get your "best alignment" for the same size, you have to filter the results by target sequence length, probably by writing a small script. I don't know of any Blast parameter that could be useful.

          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...
