  • seqan local alignment returns incorrect score

    Hi, I am using SeqAn 1.3 installed using the debian package seqan-apps on Ubuntu 14.04. I am getting what appears to be an incorrect score when performing a Waterman-Eggert alignment.
    Here is my code:
    #include <seqan/align.h>

    using namespace std;
    using namespace seqan;
    int main(void) {
    Align< String<Dna> > ali2;
    appendValue(rows(ali2), "CGATAACATTGAAAGA");
    appendValue(rows(ali2), "CGATAAACTCAGTACA");
    LocalAlignmentFinder<> finder(ali2);
    Score<int> scoring(2,-3,-5,-2);
    while (localAlignment(ali2, finder, scoring,
    8, WatermanEggert())) {
    cout << "Score = " << getScore(finder) << endl;
    cout << ali2;
    cout << "pos1: ";
    cout << clippedBeginPosition(row(ali2,0)) << endl;
    cout << "pos2: ";
    cout << clippedBeginPosition(row(ali2,1)) << endl;
    }
    }

    Here is the output that this program produces:
    /*
    Score = 0
    0 .
    CGATAA
    ||||||
    CGATAA


    pos1: 0
    pos2: 0
    */

    It shows a score of zero, but this should have a score of 12. In fact, the code is supposed to show only those alignments that have scores greater than 8. So internally, the program recognizes that this score is greater than 8, but it reports that the score is zero.

    Can you please shed some light on why this is happening?

    Sincerely,
    RynT

    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 on Modified Bases...

    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...
