  • Creating Phylogenetic tree from MAF format file

    I hope this is relevant to the discussions here.

    I am working on a metagenome project and have genome sequences of several strains of a bacteria species, un-assembled, but in contig reads. I used the mugsy program to align them and I have been trying to find a tool to create a tree out of the MAF format file I generated, but I am having issues because of the nature of the original sequences being in contigs rather than assembled.

    I am hoping someone jas worked with unassembled genomes with contig reads and could be able to point me to how I could generate an acceptable multi-alignment format from the data

    Thanks as always.

    mez.

    I'm a little unclear about your question. If you have contigs, then you are working with an assembly. Do you mean that you are working with overlapping paired-end reads?

      Sorry, I guess I should say the reads have been assembled into contigs, I was having trouble aligning the genomes of the different strains, but I am making progress on that now. Just trying to figure how best to use the MAF format file generated to create a phylogenetic tree.

        I'm not sure that you can create a tree from a MAF file with overlapping reads. With Mugsy, you usually provide separate files for each genome and then infer a tree from sequence conserved in each block. If you can get your MAF file in this format, you can create a FASTA alignment with Galaxy or with scripts in the bx-python package (https://bitbucket.org/james_taylor/bx-python/wiki/Home).

          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...
